#firstteaofmyday @yunnan_sourcing #zhengshanxiaozhong with Ben, trying to not melt in the heat and trying to figure out why I'm suddenly so sick 😷 at least tomorrow is supposed to be cooler and this tea is fantastic in my #blueoxide #kyusu and my #jianzhan #oilspot cup. So pretty! #gongfucha #chinesetea #tea #teaofinstagram #hongcha #blacktea

#firstteaofmyday @yunnan_sourcing light roast wild purple Black of Dehong. It's super windy today, we are under a tornado watch and it's supposed to be stormy later, fun times! #tea #dianhong #purpletea #gongfucha #jianzhan #tenmoku #oilspot #tea #chinesetea #teaofinstagram

#firstteaofmyday @yunnan_sourcing #laoshanblack looks like gold in my new #tenmoku cup. It's so pretty. #gongfucha #hongcha #chinesetea #teaofinstagram #oilspot #jianzhan #tea #cha #teatime

The prettiest and most finicky glaze. Going to use it on some yarn bowls for the @masheepwoolcraftfair #oilspot #glazing #ceramics (at Northampton, Massachusetts)

This is not #oilspot but it looks like it could be! #surprised #seducedbypottery

#firstteaofmyday @teavivre #keemun Aromatic Snail Black in my #petrnovak #teapot and my #tenmoku #oilspot cup. Up early to watch the last UMVC3 at EVO, I'm going to miss that game!! #gongfucha #tea #teaandgaming #chinesetea #blacktea

#firstteaofmyday @teavivre Jinhao Golden Tip Black, tastes​ very strongly of cherry today which is awesome! What is not awesome is amount of things I need to get done which means very little painting will happen today. Still kinda cranky about the tournament yesterday and not sure what I'm going to do. Find a different store with laxer alter rules, replace my painted cards and focus on tokens, just stick to casuals, only paint my personal decks and not standard ones? The reason why I was told my alters were a no go was from them being painted rather than using sharpie, since apparently they make a sound in the card sleeve, which I never noticed. Wish I would have thought to ask if that means all the cards are altered it would be ok, since that was my plan anyway. Mad props to the TO for being so anal about rules even at a small low key tournament. It bit me but I respect the hell out of that. Plus Ben let me open his prize and I got us a Gideon and I found a bunch of goodies in the junk card box. #ramble #tea #teaofinstagram #gongfucha #hongcha #blacktea #chinesetea #jianshui #tenmoku #oilspot

Drinking @teafulco #shanlinxi and wow, this one is intense! I feel like a butterfly on an iris while sipping it. Also finally cut my piece of #bogoak down to a good chahe size. And of course the #jianzhan cup is still magic. #gongfucha #tea #taiwanesetea #oolong #tenmoku #oilspot #teaofinstagram #cha
