Saturday Tea Thoughts

I honestly feel that Saturdays were made for tea.  A whole day to be productive advancing what every you want to advance, but at the same time often at a relaxed pace, where sitting down and making several teas in one day does not seem luxurious but rather only natural.  It is just barely the other side of noon, and I have already had a delicious session of Matcha ( it sadly is not a staple in my tea stash), then possibly really wanting to give myself a good theanine kicking went on to Gyokuro.



While for my health and safety the kettle is off, and the teaware is getting ready to be cleaned, I find myself wondering what tea I should make in a few hours for an afternoon session or two.  Such is how wonderful Saturdays can be.  While I had wanted to be a lot more productive, we are getting nailed with on and off lake effect snow bands which prohibit doing most of anything outside today.

While I have decided I want to try and film a tea video every Saturday for the near future, I find I filmed quite a few quite quickly, and I am starting to run out of ideas for videos.  Today I made a Matcha Video posted below. Do let me know if you have any suggestions for Videos you would like to see and I will do my best to accommodate them.

New Site Launched.

So while I for most of the past year focused mainly on Chinese Teas and the teaware to go along with it, I had a strong attraction towards Hagi pieces. But sadly there is not a good source of Hagi information in English, at least not all in one place.

So this site is primarily to catalog my collection as it grows, and show of the beautiful Hagi pieces in a non studio environment which I feel makes them look rather sterile and not that impressive.

But secondly to hopefully share information I find out about Hagi with the English speaking world, and I do not claim to be an expert in any sense of the word.

So Here is a project that I hope all of you can enjoy.
