r/tea

I discovered this trend recently and had to share. I don’t know much about it but several young content creators are posting videos serving tea in this dexterous yet nonchalant way, since what seems to be late 2023, and it’s been my latest obsession. The different moves are codified under what's called the art of "花式泡茶” (huā shì pào chá — er… flowery tea brewing?). This one is 茶痞. on douyin/bilibili, there are many others such as 一步·知窑 (reposted on TikTok/Instagram), 沸沸哥的茶生活 (reposted on YouTube/Instagram), 牛叔与小女 (reposted on TikTok/YouTube), etc. each with their own touch of humour

so what do everyone think?

After an unexpected major surgery late last fall, I have been on a mission to take back my femininity. I’ve ever been a pink girlie but I adored this pink jade teaware from YS. They are sturdier than I expected and the lid on the gaiwan is a bit flippy floppy but overall I enjoy them very much. Will test them out first thing tomorrow.

And snagged a few other recommended teas as well! The scale was a free add in! Not a bad haul for a treat to myself 🙂

you don’t necessarily have to meet people or go to expensive tea houses.
Just boil a pot of water at home and make a cup of tea. as sunlight filters through the window and falls on the tea soup, casting dappled light and shadow—isn’t life all about being at ease?Tea in hand, light in the eyes, peace in the heart.
even if you just sit and daydream the whole afternoon away, that is happiness.

Today, I brewed a pot of black tea slowly at my tea station, and it was absolutely amazing!🥰

First, a subtle floral and fruity sweetness hits your nose; the tea is smooth and creamy with a lovely honey texture, and after swallowing, there's a gentle woody aftertaste in your throat. It's warm and not bitter at all—super soothing to drink here!

Comfy Bulang Community with lots of tea and laughter.

There was about 11g left and it smell + looked fine.

I made a latte with 6g powder, 120g oat milk, and a little bit of honey.

so I just brew the bag in the cup. anyone else take the lazy route sometimes too?

This bag of tea I bought from them when they announced they were closing. It's a 2019 Fuding Shou Mei. It's quite nice. Shame I only learned about them when they were going out of business

Quite a good tea.
