#365teas

Happy Tea Intro Post!

#TeaTuesday / #365teas Rooibos, the red bush tea, an always appropriate South African classic (say it with me now: "rroy-'bohss”…short rolling R in the beginning, & short hissing S at the end). ☕ These are tea “stokkies” from a friend's family farm in Citrusdal! The plant has brilliantly bright yellow blooms, and needle-like leaves that turn red when dried & steeped. Also mocked up the drawing in the 2nd photo (& put it in a vintage frame) for @dean_louw’s birthday, that will eventually be tattooed on him! Lastly, swipe for my favourite way to enjoy it…bag left in, with coconut milk, from my aptly descriptive mug (@jerutter will appreciate the colour & @zarahpattison will appreciate the message, too!). 😹 P.S. My coaster is one of the famous tiles from Catalina Island :) #rooibos #tea #redbush #tealeaves #looseleaftea #teasteeper #teadrinkerssociety #fynbos #rooibostea #drawing #art #botanicalart #plantart #linedrawing #aspalathus #fabaceae #fabulousbitch #teal #teamteal #mug #funny https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJwqt9peUn/?utm_medium=tumblr

#TeaTuesday…When friends just know you so well…this German tea, a gift from @jeremaiheburrov, is so delicious, I have to ration it VERY carefully! (Also, MISS YOU, JOJO!! 😭) #selfcontrol #365teas #tea #thieletee #brokensilber #whatsthetea #teadrinkerssociety #blacktea (at Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSTlp7goMH/?igshid=ql3juk99h3yi

With temps at a scorching 37C/99F…enjoyed #SundaySips in the garden! Easy-drinking hibiscus tea & cider shandy for sundowners 🌺🍹 (gotta stretch out the booze lately, & this TOTALLY counts for today's #365teas…with Venus bright AF, accordingly from my vintage zodiac glass, as well), plus midday pick-me-up of a nice vanilla hazelnut cold brew from a local coffee roaster! 🌰❄️☕ (P.S. Yes, my prayer & whip flags are looking very tatty, I know! 😹) #tea #hibiscustea #cider #shandy #sundowners #sunset #clouds #silhouettes #zodiac #zodiacsigns #coldbrew #garden #prayerflags #californiarepublic (at Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_LNcVGg77B/?igshid=n0hrdek7oj3e

From how @aurorabirdialis has referred to me...the "Spice Lion" turmeric latte! 💥🦁☕️ A little extra cinnamon, allspice, & ginger, a pinch of Himalayan pink salt, blitzed with soaked dried dates for sweetness! #365teas #turmericlatte (at Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DfUVJA_3b/?igshid=16r8lr1dolnpn

And then...when Tuesday necessitates gin & watermelon rooibos iced tea (+made fizzy by soda water), in your other favourite glass. This totally counts for #365teas, right? #gin #rooibos #tea #craftcocktails https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nxn3JATo9/?igshid=14f4hiki3tdoc
