“It’s not to say that if you’re not of the culture, you can’t have a great matcha product or be a part of the matcha conversation,” Park says in her TikTok video. “But it’s about the intention and respect. How far are you willing to go to make sure you understand, respect, and appreciate the culture, versus just appropriating it?”
"Thursday After Thunder" teableau for 03/27/25
There was a wild storm last night- momentous lightning, ground-shaking thunder, hard rain- that caught houses on fire & blew out windows. Yet today, it's as if nothing at all occurred, just sedate calm all around. Storms be that way.

I always want green tea this time of year but the fresh stuff (i.e., tea picked right about now through early April) doesn’t make it over to me until late spring. So I saved some of last years to drink during this time.
I decided to try #FarmBoy's #matcha #greentea #latte mix which is sold next to their hot chocolate & chai powdered mixes.
The hot chocolate is meh, but I'm enjoying a mug of this in the evening before bed instead of reaching for cookies. I don't make it too sweet & do half & half hot milk & water.
Using a #Milkfrother makes this cafe worthy.
Excited to pick green tea leaves here soon. They can grow quite well in mild locations in western Washington.
I planted this green tea plant 15 years ago and it has survived some very hard frosts (down to -12°C/10°F) in the Chehalis Valley where it's planted.
We tried fermenting the leaves to make black tea a few years back, but didn't leave it long enough. Ended up with something amber-colored, but it was quite good!
"A Fine Romance" teableau for 02/13/25
Here Fred & Ginger
Lead the way
Toward yet another
Valentine's Day
I've just marked down all my green teas 12%, for ye teafarers
I've kept them well, most of them in deep freeze, so that the flavors and aromas are intact
"Bundle Up" teableau for 02/11/25
California Quail sport the best headgear, no matter the season.
New instance, new #introduction! (Also boosts will help federate the garden ^-^)
I'm a #Quaker #seminary student in #Pittsburgh. I love #DND and #TTRPG, and get up to #crochet, #hiking, and #naturephotography in my spare time.
Here's a motley list of things I like/post about!
"Gentle" teableau for 01/04/25
Two oddities herein:
Whoever handpainted the Mt Rainier/Tahoma plate spelled "Seattle" incorrectly;
"Christmas Morning" tea isn't only for Christmas! It's a fragrant, balanced blend of black & jasmine green teas that I wish came as a loose-leaf bulk buy.
The fall-winter of 2024/25 has been the first season where I've frozen my green teas
It helps a ton with preserving shelf life. Crazy I didn't know about this before!
In the pic are vacuum sealed food saver bags containing 2oz each, inside a larger bag
I sell this tea in 2-4oz increments, so when someone orders, I can just thaw what's needed and package it
