Perfect Steeper by Eight Cranes
my first pu-erh
sorry this has taken so long to post. so my first pu-erh its an anise. and i got it from Cornelia Bean, my usual place. when i first had a wiff of it i was a little taken aback because i hate black licorice and this smelt strongly of it but i went for it. after steeping it the licorice smell had dissipated and a more woody musk replaced it. the first sip was a torrent of visual imagery, there’s no other way to explain it. i just had images of a fall morning, steam rising off a farm house as the sun starts to rise. barns and hay, the out doors. this tea is pure fall and i love it. but be careful don’t steep it to long or you will get it way to strong and for me it was undrinkable. this tea isn’t for beginners but everyone should try a pu-erh for themselves. i also got a pu-erh in a the paddy form which i’m excited to try but don’t really know how much to put in a pot so ill have to do some checking for that.
ginger tea, How it turned out
well i made the ginger tea in my zarafina, and its turned out pretty good, though the first try was pretty weak because i used the herbal setting but i used the black tea setting gave much more flavour. i added orange zest which also has come through nicely. although i think ill try it in a tea ball or a brewt next time so it can steep longer. ginger is supposed to be great for you and i think for digestion especially which would be nice after the gluten binge i had yesterday.

tea moments
i was just thinking the other day why i like tea, and it came to me. tea slows you down, there’s more to it you have to stop for a moment and enjoy the taste smell and warmth that it brings. on the weekends when i’m at my moms around 1 or 2 in the afternoon she will ask me to make tea. a couple of years ago she got me a Zarafina tea maker which i love. so we have tea together we sit on the couch and just enjoy each others company or listen to some music. but its just so nice to stop and have that time when the rest of the day is in front of a computer or out and about.
just wanted to share my little tea epiphany, maybe in the comments you can share your tea moments or why you like it.
