A white glazed clay teacup embellished with the outline of a leaf in blue, filled with reddish tea, rests on a tan and green woven mat. In the background is a succulent growing in a square planter and a celadon vase of pink flowering plum blossoms. Through the window are the blurry branches of a hemlock tree, and a glowing salt lamp in the center far right sits on the window sill.

You’ve got some skills!

Softboy Zuko!! Happy Caturday to you as well, my good fur man!

Brilliant! Love the contrast between the brown of last year’s leaves & the vivid green & purple of the flowers 💜💚

Nothing secret about those meetings with the old gods, all are welcome at Our tea & book club. Do stop by!

Blue pottery cup with white and brown textured exterior holds dark tea, the surface of which swirls and catches the light while reflecting blurry tree green and sky blue. In the background is a photograph of an angel statue that has lost the top of its head to time and weather, seemingly contemplating the cup before it. A candle flame is reflected in the photograph, on the far left.

Lost in a cup of tea
Shimmer surface &
Forest deep
Between a candle
& the sun —
reflections of reflections
of reflections

Okay that’s badass

Your steam captures are always so next level! Stunning!

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Tiny stars fell to earth & landed in mossy safety 💫💚🧡

Thanks Velma! ☺️

We recently cleaned out our tea space & ended up with an entire bag of samples & oddments, sent them to work with my partner. Hope yours was tasty!

Snowdrop flowers with last autumn’s brown leaves in the blurred background

I know
it’s Imbolc,
when the snowdrops push up
through the sleepy earth,
& nudge me toward hope.
Spring will come.

Cup of dark tea and small clay tea pot rest on a silver tray, surrounded by a riot of purple, green, and gold Mardi Gras beads. One strand of beads is pearls interspersed with carnival masks, and another has the word “Diva” dangling from the end. A king cake baby nestles in the beads close to the cup of pu’er.

Laissez le bon temps rouler! Happy Mardi Gras!! (& Year of the Fire Horse! & Solar Eclipse!) Remember to hydrate, rest when you need to, & let joy move through you when presented with the opportunity.

Moony feels photo, so lovely & peaceful. New favorite again 🌙

Close up branch of white plum blossoms, with blurred trees in the background, interspersed with light blue skies

Plum blossoms
almost have me believing
February’s spring lies

Did you climb them?

Nice! Matching things make my heart happy 💛

Bare tree branches and wetland brush in shades of brown, mirrored in the water, with a stripe of blue through a clouded sky above and below the sleeping plant life.

I take my prayers
to the water
& pour them in.
So that the fish breathe them
& the ducks paddle through them
& they become the rain
that waters the food we eat
& we remember
our connection
to each other,
& return
to Love.

Stunning! It looks like a painting. This might be my favorite image of yours.

Steaming cup of shou pu’er with a single drop of tea suspended in the air, beneath the spout of a black teapot. In the background, the branch of a Norfolk Island Pine brushes the cedar table in a patch of sunlight, in front of a window.

Suspended moment —
already
water under the bridge,
sipped & gone.

This is all we have
moment.
moment.
moment.
Savor the tea.

I have had taliensis keep me up all night, I’m very caffeine sensitive so I was excited to try a late session of “caffeine free” tea, but I definitely didn’t experience it as such. The claim was that it was wild, but it was my first experience with that vendor so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Land Back! 🙌🏽

Here’s hoping they are all healthy & sleep through the swabbing 🦇🤎

Ugh. 🫂

Green Pixie cup lichen shaped like a stemmed glass

Indeed! I just learned that the land the tea grows on also has persimmons growing on it, so it makes even more perfect sense.

Ahhhh! Love!! Do you know ki’s name?

I didn’t do the kintsugi myself, I hope you are able to find the supplies you need
