Really enjoying this 'Wildwood Gold' black @tea

Gushu Dianhong from Mei Leaf

It's sold out unfortunately, might try to get some elsewhere but that's usually a terrible idea: “A teapet cannot steep into the same tea twice, because it is not the same tea, and he is not same teapet.“

Starting to get why people rave about the fragrance of Dan Congs – the smell of dry leaves in this teapot definitely got my nostrils' attention

I'm always a little nervous about Long Jing Dragonwell green tea. It's sort of a situation like Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, where it seems like there is more Italian Extra Virgin olive oil on the market than could be grown in Italy. Same for Long Jing Dragonwell, it seems like there is more Dragonwell tea on the market than could possibly be grown in Long Jing Village. Plus, I had a really bad body experience once with Dragonwell green tea.

In any case, this is a very nice Dragonwell, "Mr Long's Studio," from One River Tea, toasty nutty scent, sweet chestnut flavor, clean light taste, even oversteeped.

@ellestad @tea I had my first sip of Longjing (without knowing what it was at the time) near the entrance of a buddhist temple in Hangzhou; the shop was about to close but the owners insisted that I try something special, and didn't even rush me to buy anything. I remember being very confused receiving this tall glass full of boiling water and leaves floating inside, without cup or a strainer :P

But I've never been able to find that same tasting experience with stuff I purchased from overseas.

On my most recent birthday I drank some of my 88 qing bing, which by now is down to not much more than the bing wo, sad to say.

What did you drink for your last birthday?

Feeling lazy this Sunday morning so just tried this 'topping' method on yesterday's Dianhong leaves , and a "dry" session with this local pottery to catch spills

Feeling very autumny this evening so I tried to make Korean quince @tea with this oven-baked shredded quince, simmered in water for 20 mins, and sweetened with honey. Was OK but not as thick/flavoured as I'd hoped

Any tips?

Known wrecks of Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada since 1583 two ways (left with labels, right without labels). Requested and made possible by @baptnz (thank you!).

This took forever to label but which one do you prefer?

@terence Nice! I'm curious about the labeling difficulty – I would have thought ggplot would make it relatively straightforward to generate those as a vector layer with identical coord extent, and then superpose the two layers? Or do you render the labels in ray* too?

turbobureaucrat, to NoStupidQuestions

there is Guppe with its wonderful groups. I enjoy the @tea there, but can’t find anything about the geeky things. Is there something?🙂

(Attaching the photo of pancakes as my apology for this toot being not on the tea-related topic)🙃
