Adventaggedon Day 1: Tea 4/7
This tea comes with a story.
So in our lab at work we have a large calendar on one wall across from the table/desk that I sit and work at. It’s also next to the counter by the sink where one of about three different “tea stations” are in the lab that have all the different tools and bobbles you would need to make tea for either yourself or a large tasting group.
I decided to brew up the whole sample of this tea in one go as a very large Western style teapot that could be shared among everyone in the lab this afternoon. At this time this station (near the calendar) was the only one that had a clean teapot near it in the size I wanted. So I stood there making my tea and waiting for it to steep for a good five minutes and just as I finished pouring my cup I looked up at the calendar on the wall only to realize that the photograph for December that we had just flipped to today was of this tea garden.
It felt weirdly serendipitous.
