Since I’m not too active right now I figured I’d post this half educational half autobio comic I did for an assignment last year! A lot has changed since then; I know a lot more about tea now and my drinking habits are completely different.

I have 2 times gongfu tea party in past 2 days. It make me happy. How about your holiday? . . . #gongfutea #stovetop #kettle #teapots #dehua #chinesetea #ceramics #ceramitique #havetea #brewtea #slowliving #teaforyou #cha #zen #chadao #whitetea #porcelain #bestceramics #teawares https://www.instagram.com/p/CYOzSGDlbqe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some #teagoals! Thank you for sharing with us your inspiration and tea journey, @culturekedkettle! Let us know when you are coming to Tea Drunk, we’d love to treat you and your friends to a seasonal tasting! Email is at [email protected] to let us know! #winner #Repost @culturedkettle with @get_repost ・・・ I started drinking tea over a decade ago, oddly enough starting with loose leaf rather than bagged varieties, and every year I get deeper and deeper into the varied traditions and history of tea. In the past, I have focused on learning about the various teas and history of Chinese teas. I still have so much to learn, but now I want to expand my search for knowledge to include other, perhaps lesser-known traditions from around the world. My 2019 #teagoal is to continue my study of the leaf through reading, tasting, and seeking out new and different tea experiences. In turn, I hope to share these bits of knowledge, experiences, and tastings with all of you! Thanks @teadrunk for making us all contemplate our journey and future goals for 2019. And of course I always love sharing this wonderful journey with the amazing @kevinscollo 😊 . . . #teadrunk #culturedkettle #gongfucha #gongfutea #tea #teaceremony #tealeaves #teaislife #meditation #chadao #teatime #tradition #chinesetea #teaware #nepalesetea #teasommelier #teaconnoisseur #teastory (at Tea Drunk) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOs2ZHlzr2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cmc3boilkmzz

the other day i bought a $4 gaiwan from sf chinatown to practice with. i kind of like it–it’s in (if i recall right) a famille rose design, a modern reproduction of old qing dynasty antiques, it’s quite large and easy to handle. if it breaks, it’s also not that big of a loss. i’m doing a test run today: having jasmine tea for breakfast while waiting for eggs and bagels at a nearby restaurant. i’ll have to remember to get a huge thermos next time! these white restaurants are stingy with the hot water.
