#gaiwan

“I keep saying ‘it’s not my favorite’ and then taking bigger, greedier sips like a fucking liar.”

“…with a very strong aftertaste that lingers in my throat so long I should ask it to start paying rent.”

“Safe to say I will definitely NOT be gifting this to anyone.”

“I’m burping orange peel flavored burps right now, though.”

“I am drinking goddamn tree bark right now. I definitely can’t say I hate it, though…”

February 2026

My tea ware has gotten an upgrade!!! I've been wanting a glass fairness cup so badly and I'm just in love with this one. And, the lavender gaiwan is 90 mL, which is nice for solo sessions.

Today I'm drinking Floating Leaves Alishan Black... because I ordered more without realizing I had an unopened pack, whoops !

Today's goals:

🔲Finish Book 2 of Suicide

🔲Finish Book 3 of Suicide

I got a gaiwan, two matching cups, and a serving pitcher. The gaiwan and cups have lovely illustrations of peacocks and various flowers on them. I'm excited to see how this changes up my tea drinking!

Of course... with tea. 💕🍵🍃🌸

Drinking tea at Kilt Rock on Isle of Skye.

Drinking tea at Glenfinnan Viaduct and Loch Shiel.

Drinking tea at Tomnahurich Cemetery in Inverness.

Almost forgot to share but my new gaiwan is in! It's super light and the edges are quite wide so I don't burn my fingers lol

It's so cute I'm so happy with it! 🪻 I'm going to try to find other green or nature inspired teaware to complete the set ~

Buenos días, amores! Wishing you leafy love and joy today.
