#blacktea — Public Fediverse posts

Found this African tea, Justea Mt Kenya Black, at a local Northwoods fair trade type store, thought I'd give it a try. This is actually a pretty decent Ceylon (Sri Langka) style broken black tea. However, not as harsh or astringent as those blends sometimes are, drinkable strong and black, but stiff enough to stand up to a little milk (theoretically). I even brewed it quasi-gongfu style and it held up to 6 brews.

"The Bird & The Bee"
Teableau for 08/25/26

The teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl were my mother's. They are silverplate tarnished beyond restoration, so I painted them. I'm pleased with how they turned out.

Be gentle with yourself and generous to others as much as you're able. These are hard times.

The dainty MidCentury sugar & creamer set is by Vallona Star California Pottery. It's one of my most favorite acquisitions.

The plate, cup, and saucer are Haviland Limoges china. Beginning in the mid- 1800s, Haviland has imported more French china to the US than any other company.

"Earl Grey Tea"
Teableau for 07/01/26

I go through phases as to favorite teas. My Earl Grey phase lasted about a decade, to the exclusion of nearly every other kind.

My strawberry hill is bursting with ripening wild Pacific strawberries. Tiny, sweet, warmed by the sun, and so incredibly fragrant.

Just gone through a taster pack of different #EarlGrey variants. 🫖

Earl & #LadyGrey - known quantities. Love them.

Strong Earl Grey - Rinsing your mouth with #Bergamotte. Good. 😂

#Lavender Earl Grey - It had not occurred to me that my life was lacking lavender flavoured #BlackTea, but definitely worth a try. But what does Bergamotte do in it? And vice versa?

#Vanilla Earl Grey - #vanilla flavoured black tea can be lovely. But again: what does Bergamotte do in it? And vice versa?

The jam jar is from Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. I don't know if they still sell these in the gift shop, but a lot of people had them in their homes back in the day.

The poster says the birds are an Ecuadorian Cacique and an Orange Oriole. However, the only Ecuadorian Caciques I'm aware of are all black with a white beak and blue eyes (adults).
