That’s suppose to be part time gremlin 😂

❤️ someone noticed! The account is named after my cat/pre-time gremlin, Nimbus (aka Nimi). I made a profile pic that looked like him. I think this pic will explain why I purchased the teacup too 😂

Bosch

Broke my rule of “no strong sheng” at work for my beloved Bosch from @white2tea.bsky.social

No walls have been stared at yet. So far. #Teasky

I’ll have to check out LazyCat. I prefer a medium to lighter roast.

I always find one I like but it's pricey. So, I put it away and then forget about it.

It was in a kraft bag with no label. Either someone sent it or it was a tea club offering. Either way - mystery black tea this morning.

How many white teas can she possibly have? Not nearly enough. 😒

ORT - 2022 Gatekeeper
I forgot I bought this. 😮‍💨 I’m in that stage of my tea journey. Don’t judge.

But, incredibly glad I did. It’s so bright + sweet.

#Teasky

This tea was part of an ORT sampler about baked v charcoal. A 2022 wild tea from Master Zhu in Taimushan.

The white tea marathon continues with VietSun’s 2024 Lào Cai Deep Forest White

ORT - Forbidden Fruit (2023) For me today.

Effective immediately? 👀

Sunday morning tea

Some people prefer shou when it cools down, but I am firmly in the aged white camp.

R&L Zhenghe Gongmei from last year (think it’s a 2021?)

Dian Hong

Monday morning black tea brewed very strong.

Please make me a little less grumpy about leaving my bed, thanks. 🥱

Smuggler’s Cove

Smuggler’s Cove from ORT - an aged yesheng white. A smooth, honey bomb that has been keeping me company at work all day.

Fall Aster

Finally! It’s #Aster season!

Emma in the Asters

These little #Asters are some of my favorite #Fall flowers.

Dear #Matcha, please fix me and my life. Thanks.

This is giving me so many impulsive carrot thoughts. I just planted mostly greens + two daikon.

👀 what varietals are these?

Dark Horse - 2018 Shoumei

ORT Dark Horse. If this is a brown shoumei, then it’s done really well. It didn’t have that woody notes to it, more of a baked pie in an a book store with older books.

Very smooth, comforting.

#TeaSky #BaichaGangForever

Impulsive fall garden is a go. I’ve never understood the timing of Texas fall & winter gardening. Or like how people have cabbage in February?

(Please note my supervisor.)

Nimi Naps

Nimi Nap Count: Just 1. But, it was a very refreshing afternoon nap with the smoosh.

#Caturday #Cat

Monarch Cats on Swamp Milkweed

Cat Update: I can sort of focus on them now with the camera.

#Monarchs #MonarchCats

Cat Update: the pillars have hatched. I thought I would have a solid month but turns out weather speeds their growing.

So this means I will be raiding nurseries all weekend for milkweed.

#MonarchCats #Monarchs

How voracious were they? I heard they can eat an entire plant plus the stalk? 👀

Question Mark

First visitor!

Monarch (?) egg

Recap of this Week: I saw a Question Mark. Finally saw my first #Monarch. Then came home to eggs on the #Milkweed.

Mountain Song

Keep thinking about ORT’s Mountain Song that I drank yesterday.

Have you ever drank a tea and thought this is so good that I should probably hide this from myself? 🤣

Another successful #HEB run
