“And was it?” asked Toad.

First spring day having my morning tea outside. Enjoying tucking into Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet. The ZASP online course from Plum Village has just started and I've already gotten some useful insights. What does your tea look like today?

Understanding is love's other name. — Thich Nhat Hanh

Through Black History Month, Lunar New Year, Valentines Day, Mardi Gras, and more, February was such a small month to contain all the things that happen in it. As we near the end of this month, I hope you made time for love.

It's an excellent tea as long as you like bourbon! On its own or in this recipe.

Let the good times roll with this non-alcoholic tea punch! Make it at home using @harneyandsons.bsky.social

Happy Lunar New Year! Wear something red and drink good tea. 🎋🎊🧧🧨

Does anyone watch videos on Bluesky? Or is that not a thing here 🤔 Just in case, sharing another unboxing video here, but this time a new teaset.

Someone on FB said they found Sweet Tea on the Libby app from the Queer Liberation Library. I have no idea what that is, but it sounds fun!

Toad, dripping wet with river water, laments that his picnic basket is full of water From "Alone" In *Days with Frog and Toad*

Frog pulled Toad up onto the island. Toad looked in the basket. The sandwiches were wet. The pitcher of iced tea was empty.

Happy Black History Month! I've enjoyed slowly reading both these books over the past year. No Tea, No Shade is a collection of scholarly essays about topics relative to the Black, LGBTQ+ community and Sweet Tea takes more of a storytelling approach to the life of Black, gay men here in the South.

So I chose a tea perfectly named Keen Sight, featuring both tea and coffee – the best of both worlds.

How was your Groundhog Day?

That's right woodchuck-chuckers, it's GROUNDHOG DAY! Okays, that was a few days ago but I didn't get a chance to post my choice of tea.

Groundhog Day is a special day for me. It's sort of my New Year's day. An in-between time when I reflect on the past and "prognosticate" about the future.

Those are some lovely tea things anyway!

Knitting and tea are great friends, just like books and tea.

One, that's sounds delish! Two, did you do the kintsugi yourself? I ask because I'm wanting to get materials or a kit and looking for quality.

A ceramic cup with gold kintsugi repair of a chipped rim holds reddish brown tea, with bookshelves reflecting faintly on the surface of the liquid. Behind the cup to the left is a ceramic persimmon tea caddy, and to the right a small plate of dried persimmon slices.

Lalashan GABA hongshui & dried persimmons are perhaps perfect together.

"The act of sitting down is an act of revolution."
— Thich Nhat Hanh

We've all been there. Pushing ourselves to get something done, but because we're exhausted and frazzled it takes three times as long as it would have if we just stopped. Stop and rest. Reclaim your power.

Anyone in #HuntsvilleAL who is attending the protest this Saturday and needs a place to warm up, Botanica is open! The owner is letting me offer FREE, freshly brewed, hot tea and coffee for everyone! Stop in to her shop Saturday morning when the ice gets too much and grab a cup of comfort.

Tea as a Symbol of Uprising: From Masala Chai to Yerba Mate I guarantee I could point to five different teas in your cupboard and tell you how one or more ingredients was at one point the fuel for or the product of an act of revolution. It wouldn't even be hard. Agriculture and food history is intrinsically linked with human connection and struggles for power, and the world of

Tea ritual, EFT tapping, breathwork, silent meditation... what can you do today to come back home to yourself? Find that peace within. Then, after a respite, you are ready for action once again. Peace is a fuel that sustains.

Peace is not a panacea. It's not an excuse for inaction. It is a step necessary for action. As you make your stand against the current icey crisis, remember that you will need to make the same stand tomorrow. And the day after that. And the next day. Life and protest must be sustainable.

This is one of my favorite flavored teas! You're right, it is excellently balanced.
