#purpletea

It's a chilly and rainy day, beautiful but hard to photograph the #firstteaofmyday which is @yunnan_sourcing purple moonlight, the last of my dearly hoarded stash. I need a back light to give me more balanced lighting. #tea #teaofinstagram #gongfucha #whitetea #moonlightwhite #purpletea #dragoneggteapot #reflection #lakeview #windowtea

JusTea Purple Leaf Tea

#firstteaofmyday @yunnan_sourcing Purple Needle Black Tea of Jing Mai, decided to use the #ruyao #celadon set from @teawarehouse today to admire the crackly goodness. Today Ben goes back to work and I'm trying not to be too sad, it was an awesome honeymoon! #gongfucha #chinesetea #dianhong #blacktea #hongcha #purpletea #tea #teaofinstagram

#firstteaofmyday @yunnan_sourcing Yunnan Purple Beauty of Simao 2014, I love #hongcha / #dianhong with a bit of age on it, and this goes for it's #purpletea variation as well. Using my favorite #purrplecup that I swear I can never get a good picture of. Today I'm going to spend planning, I'm going out of town for the latter half of October for my honeymoon and I'm tempted to pack. I know it's way too early (when I was a kid I'd pack for travel a solid month in advance and then regret everything, I also insisted on take half my library and treasures...I was a pain) so I shall settle my mind with list making. #tea #yunnnansourcing #teaofinstagram #purpleteaware #gongfucha #chinesetea

#firstteaofmyday @justeakenya Purple Jasmine, a blend of Jasmine Green and Purple Tea, it's good, tastes like the flowers and not perfume which is an instant win in my book. #tea #africantea #gongfucha #greentea #purpletea

#firstteaofmyday @yunnan_sourcing Purple Wild Buds Black Tea of Dehong. This one is really unique, even by purple tea, great subtle spiciness. Using my beloved #muolvni #yixing and man, do I wish I had more of this kind of clay, it is so pretty. #purpletea #gongfucha #blacktea #hongcha #dianhong #tea #teaofinstagram #chinesetea
