Today I'm drinking a kukicha-sencha mix that always makes me smile because, when my friend first ordered it for her tea shoppe, she very kindly asked me to taste it and send her my feedback, so that she could send it back to the producer in Kagoshima (Japan).
It's a perfect tea for a greyish spring day. #tea #sencha #kukicha #cha #chadoraku
You know y'all, having a day off alone at home with #adhd brain and nothing specific to do is awesome, you end up doing so much cool stuff. Like, first you'll just be working on some #art , then realize you need a reference for a flower so you take about an hour just digging through a #flower encyclopedia just enjoying pictures and bookmarking pages for a future project that may never happen. That naturally leads to you doing some work in the #garden , but working in the garden would be so much nicer if you had some #tea to sip on. While that's brewing you notice you're almost out so you go to order more, but you want to try something new out so you end up researching the different #sencha varieties available, then the #history of the growers and what's different about their sencha. Darn, forgot to steep the tea, heat some water again, now looking into how well tea grows in my region and if I can grow it. This takes you back out to the garden, successful tea in hand finally. Out there you see a flower that is perfect for your art project, so you take a picture, but while you take the picture you notice a notification on your phone and remember an errand you nearly forgot that needs to get done today. So you #bike across town to get that done. Might as well get some lunch while you're out, so you sketch the bus stop across the street while you wait and eat. You're also right by the #book store, no harm in checking that out. You come out with a couple books. The independent #movie #theater has a flier up in the bookstore and a #film you've always wanted to see is playing in a couple hours. So you bike over to that neighborhood and get some tickets, and doodle a bit while you drink some tea and wait for the showtime. You have to go to the bathroom a couple times from drinking so much tea, but on the way to the bathroom you see some moulding near the ceiling of the old renovated theater that you really like and you are inspired to make something. You take some pictures and anxiously watch through the rest of the movie because you're singularly-minded on this one thing now, then bike straight home. You immediately discard the project you were working on, put on a playlist of some of your favorite #jazz to get focused and spend the rest of the night knocking out this idea you've been chasing since the theater. You end up ordering bibimbap for dinner because you can't stop to prepare anything. Riding the high of successfully rendering your vision, you finish off the day giving your dog a long wandering walk around the neighborhood on a perfect spring evening and catch the sunset.
Who needs focus, set and measurable goals, productivity and expectations? Just live life like water, not the dam.
Hey tea lovers! Ever tried sencha? It's a delightful brew packed with antioxidants and the perfect gentler caffeine kick. Who wouldn't want a calm friend in their cup? Get brewing right! Read more here: https://jyyna.co.uk/sencha-tea-guide/ #sencha #tealovers #teatime
The green tea we know today is all thanks to Nagatani Sōen (永谷宗円 1681-1778), a tea merchant from Yuyadani. Over 15 years he developed new techniques for producing tea leaves, transforming previously crude brown leaves into the flavorful green leaves we know today☕️😓🙌🍵
I made some cold brewed Sencha green tea in the fridge, which I brewed over the course of 48 hours.
I love, how the tea leaves swirl in the bottle, when agitated.
The tea has a strong sencha aroma, is slightly sweet and unami and has absolutely no adstringency or bitterness.
It`s an amazing summer time drink. Now all I need is some summer time weather...
I used to just be a tea-drinker, earl grey, daily, because if it was good enough for my favorite captain, it was good enough for me. Then I got into yerba-maté because a company I worked for partnered with *that* company, and I always end up trying to get to the DIY or trad version of any vice I take on. And then I tried to make coffee for my Starbucks loving ex, but I wasn't able to woo her away from the union-busters, and got myself into coffee instead. Now I'm dabbling with #puer, #oolong, #sencha, and other blitz-brew or #GongFu style teas. I feel like I've got all of my major cultural caffeine bases more or less covered, and all of them work well for me for different vibes.

370 years ago, Chinese Zen master Yinyuan Longqi, also known as Ingen Ryuki was invited to Japan.
Master Yinyuan brought lots of Chinese unique cultures and living habits to Japan, and #tea drinking culture is one of them. It is called #sencha in Japan and became very popular among common people. #GLOBALink
Target acquired!
I scored some of the goodgood from a bored and grumpy tea dealer. I didn't get a deal on it or anything but I got the goods. Now to find someone to enjoy it with.
Hmm wie sehr mich eine solche Schale #Sencha freut… ein kleiner feiner Alltagstee, gekauft in der Hotel-Lobby eines #Ryokan in #Fukuoka. Fantastische Farbe, großartiger Genuss 😋
https://youtube.com/watch?v=fEdy5rChFNg&si=PiGsgt5rXnjO9D9W one more try. Great interview by #techovertea with founder of #system76 very wide ranging open hardware cosmic desktop. I was amazed at how closely it mapped to the big refactors I've been doing in #inxi.
I realized today that I had actually found #techovertea while drinking morning #tea (#sencha green for those wondering)
Miumori Kirishima Sencha. Fantastisch um bei den morgendlichen Minusgraden aufzutauen. #Tee #GrünerTee #Sencha https://knieb.es/2704
Surprised with a #haiku when I opened the new #tea package today:
"From the heart
of the sweet #peony,
a drunken bee."
– Matsu #Bashō
One last Sencha for the road, a bottom of the bags UNYTea x Harney Tea Sencha blend, before getting back to the usual Chinese tea hijinks.

🍵 Shirakawa karigane from Akamon Chaya shop
Japanese #sencha teas have a special flavor that I can't find anywhere else.
They remind me of the sea and the pine forests next to the beach.
This product is one of my favorite. The delicate umami meets sodium mixed to roasted hazelnuts.
1st 🫖 at 75°C for 30s
I will be posting pictures from 2nd and 3rd infusions too.

Sadly, UNYTea reports they won't have more of their "Sencha" Japanese green tea until next spring. Put it on the calendar!
UNYTea says about this Sencha, "When many people reach into their stash for sencha it tends to be bold and striking and if im being honest sometimes it’s way too much than im looking for but this sencha has a nice mellow feel that can be brewed many different ways depending on how your feeling." I agree.
