I havent got heat on IG for a while so let's get to it. And I set this down to record so no comments on angles ;) Constructive cristism is welcome here. What should I be watching out for? . Back story: My longest friendship was ended last year when Andy passed away. I made a decision to take physical pain through working out resulting in many benefits such as emotional as fitness can do. That road is hopefully leading me to one where I can coach others through such loss. Since that point I've gained weight and now weight a bit over 170 however I can squat over 250, bench 235, and somehow shoulder press 185. These are all just numbers, but they are mine and almost double from when I started. There is something to be said about experiencing progress. I use to be the skinny kid in double zeroes and those who knew me then always remind me. I'm not sure where I am heading, but one step at a time is always how I want to proceed. . That being said, lifting is not for all as there is things such as disc golf or biking or scenic walks. Just balance your tea life with some physical attributes. It is highly beneficial. Sitting 12 hours a day for 2 years in my job and PC gaming life... I learned the negative effects emotional, physically, and whatever other word goes here :p . . . Thanks to those who have supported me through all of this, I assure you the love and care shown to me will be repaid to many others throughout the future. .

Je bois un thé juste pour relaxer. Avec ce début de rhume, pas évident d'écrire des notes. Néanmoins, j'arrive quand même à le sentir et à le goûter un peu. J'ai mis ces notes de coté au final. Je bois un #wulong de Taïwan: Milky Gold-Mingjian de @lupiciafr . . I drink a tea just to relax. It's not evident to write notes with this cold start. But I can still smell and taste a little bit. I finally stop to write notes. I drink an #oolong from Taïwan: Milky Gold-Mingjian from Lupicia France. . #gongfucha #wulongtea #oolongtea #tawainesetea #tealeaves #ceramicteapot #teatime #teamontreal #ilovetea #teadrinker #teapassion #teaenthusiast #tealover #teaaddict #teaoftheday #teagram #tealife #tealicious
#donderdagdongdingdag with some charcoal Dong Ding from @floatingleavestea. I had four cups before I realized I didn’t feel well enough to even drink tea. I think it’s a bad migraine or a migraine with a stomach bug. Hopefully, I should be good tomorrow. #floatingleavestea #dongding #oolong #oolongtea #taiwanesetea #gongfucha #茶道 #禅茶 #普洱 #чай #tea #teatime

I received a very special package just in time for tea! It was from my tea friend @theartofmat In no time I had the box opened and the teapots all rinsed out! And... I just had to break into this cute, sheng hei cha mini cake to try my luck at infusing in one of the "new-to-me" kyusu! 😍 The mini cake is a 2016 "Red Monkey" - nice green, sweet floral aroma on the dry leaf. The flavors are very characteristic for sheng: juniper berries, sweet, and a bit metallic. But hey, that's typical for me.😉 What flavors always stand out to you when drinking sheng??🤔 If you sign up for my Puerh class, you can choose one of three mini cakes to take home with you. In the DFW area? DM for more info regarding classes.📲 🐒 🐒 🐒 #minicakes #shengpuerh #heicha #makeminetea #makeminegongfucha #teatime #teaforme #teaflavors #gongfucha #teachingwithtea #teaclass #redmonkey

How would you prepare a mountain of aged tea? Well multiple teapots of course. We think this is a start but we will need a lot more! #marulinuk #marulintown

#Jingmai #whiteteacake Spring vs Summer 2018, from @farmer.leaf. 🌳🦌🍂🌸🌻🌞 🍃 This is the comparative #teasession I had after shooting the last #teawithmarianne IGTV episodes, to try the teas I was sharing with different teaheads. . I bought the Spring cake (deer, blue) around Christmas last year, and won the Summer cake (tea picker, colorful, heart) in an IG photo quiz earlier this year. Thank you, #farmerleaf !!! 🙏😇 . Both are natural gardens material, just different seasons. Spring was shade dried in 1-2 days, Summer in 3 days. . 🍂 Dry Leaf 🍂 Visually, the cakes look very different. The Spring cake is more buddy and overall greener. The Summer tea was darker in color, with more mature leaves, and browner in general. Both were well-pressed and beautiful. . 👃🏻 Nose Dry Leaf 🍂 Spring: Fruity, fresh green smell, autumn leaves, a bit savory, like salty pickled plums. Nutty like silver needle. Warm and sweet. Summer: A cooling wet smell, more damp medicinal, wet closet, undergrowth of a forest, hint of fruit. . 👃🏻 Nose Wet Leaf 🍃💦 Spring: Puerh-like, plum notes of a Puerh with a little age, cherry 🍒 Summer: Humidity notes, boiled water smell, starchy, cherry vanilla notes, a bit of an old velvet sofa from grandma’s house. . 👁 Eyes Liquor 🥃 Spring: Golden with tint of green that turned dark amber in lateral infusions. Transparent with more bud hairs. Summer: Golden yellow, with less bud hairs ands light darker. Becomes dark amber. . 👄 Mouthfeel 🥃 Spring: Soft, medium-thick, smooth, juicy and tingling Summer: Soft, light-medium, smooth, definitely lighter than Spring. . 😋 Taste Liquor 🥃 Spring: Sweet, fruit juice, white floral, clean, bright pollen. Very good and refreshing. Long lasting. Almost like an aged white tea, surprising. Later infusions tasted of honey and hints of plum. Some cherry late on. Summer: Also sweet, with astringency, and a “wet tent” taste. Definitely darker and more hints of damp than the Spring. Wet wood. Later infusions gave off a slight green vanilla. . 😋 Finish 🥃 Spring: tingling and a slightly thicker throat feel Summer: very short, no lasting effect. . (Continued in comments below...👇)
Tea has intertwined cultures throughout time. Here we see the influence of America, China, England, India, and Japan in one tea setting. photo by @daltonjohnsonmedia #tea #mygungfu #hiddenpeakteahouse #looseleaftea #instatea #discovertea #teatime #tealife #teaware #teadrinker #puerh #puer #teaschool #yunnan #gongfucha #gongfu #gongfutea #unplug #cleantea #teatasting #humanize #socialize #gratefuldead #thegratefuldead #deadhead
Two teapots for 1 cup of tea. Our new mini-teapots can be used to make tea. @reevesmuntjac shows off his tea making skills. Like them? Check out or web shop and friends @marulinstudio to see. #marulinuk #marulintown

Teapot shapes certainly play an essential role in how our teas will ultimately taste. This relatively tall Li Pi Zhuni Si Ting teapot turned this normally deeply rounded, earthy Shou Pu soup into a brightly complex, minty, cherry liquor.

We are so blessed to have such great friends! Our friend Forest @zuowangtea (our main Tea source) returned from China three days ago. . . . Forest was on a quest to find the nicest teas in Shi Feng (Longjing or Dragonwell Tea), And Lincang (Pu’er Tea). He was unbelievably successful. The teas we drank took us from lightheartedness and laughter into deep contemplative silence. Very strong, but settling Cha Qi! . . . Forest had many stories for us about his trip. From fire-rolling Tea with singed baking gloves (see picture two), Harrowing through mountainous terrain, and negotiating with Tea dealers that have to be watched every second so that you know you’re getting the Tea that you paid for are only a few of the trails our friend faced in rural China. Comment below if you’d like to hear more about Forest’s journey, or how to identify and pour tea that is truly a Medicine. #rootandbranchpdx #zuowangtea #tea #gongfucha #medicine #chinesetea #herbal #puerh #longjing #dragonwell #shengpuerh #shupuer #teaasmedicine #chinesemedicine #travel #china
Gaiwans. New colors coming soon!! I do some without a saucer and some with, and there is a slight difference in the foot. Tea people, please tell me what you prefer! Saucer? No saucer? #teaware #wheelthrown #porcelain #gaiwan #lilithrockettceramics #pink #oolong #gongfucha

We spent over 6 hours hiking in deep of forest to hunt wild tea trees and found lots of amazing wild species around it. 📸Wild Tea Hunting @wildteaqi
New addition to your chaXi - this sweet little vase 🌿 Chabana is a generic term for the arrangement of flowers put together for display in a tea ceremony. In Japan, there is a certain stylistic category of Kado, the "Way of Flowers," specifically related to tea. This way developed out of Ikebana, which had its origin in early Buddhist flower offerings. One of the common traits we find in Japanese aesthetics is a celebration of the minute, the miniature. These vase lend a perfect accent to the tea ceremony.
