“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.

We love to take a nice deep inhale of our tea leaves prior to steeping. It's like smelling scented candles, but you can drink these unlike candles. Please don't drink candles.

From left to right, here are our teas: Baba Yaga (sage & rosemary green tea), New Moon (cream early grey black tea), Shiny Things (floral oolong tea), Waxing Moon (ginger rooibos). You can find all 4 of these at midnighttease.com!

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!

My trusty essentials for an outdoor matcha.
- Chawan
-Travel Chasen
- Travel Chasen sized Chasenaoshi
- Chashaku
- Sieve
- Spoon for sieving that I found in one of my boxes full of trinkets . Apparently I bought it ages ago and now it fits perfectly for the job of easy sieving and I couldn’t be happier. It’s also small which is perfect for hikes.

"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.

Some days I need more than one matcha. Getting my period is one of that cases, so little energy today, but so much I want to enjoy. So I’m out, searching for a nice spot to put down my bowl and enjoy a moment of calm. Like here this perfect fungi overgrown tree stump. It’s utter perfection.

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
