Been getting good steam. #teasky

mineral spirits actually a great tea name for non-painters

Drinking Lisboa from @white2tea.bsky.social while finishing up this painting and being serenaded by the sounds of a jackhammer.

oh hi. I'm bad at the internet sometimes. Here's a pretty picture of tea! #teasky

Trying to beat (or at least ignore) the heat with some kabusecha…in my new @gushustudios.bsky.social tea cup! So thrilled to have finally snagged one of her pieces, and it’s even more delightful than I expected—just a pleasure to hold and sip from. 😍

Friendly reminder that my Teapot Store opens tomorrow, August 16th at 1PM MT. New pots for all! Or at least for like 32 people if everyone shares. #teaware #teasky

What happens when you hire a human artist instead of using AI slop. I get to paint all day, and then feed myself! Thanks, @onerivertea.bsky.social 😂 Can't wait for the new white teas. 👀👀

I made a lot of pots. I'm going to update my internet website on Sat, August 16th at 1PM MT⛰️

Loon Call in the Dark from @white2tea.bsky.social aka gateway drug into bougie shou.

Maintaining my sense of whimsy at all costs. #gongfucha #teasky

Finally drinking this cake from @onerivertea.bsky.social that I did the wrapper art for! Old Salt is my kind of sheng. Burly and strong, with a peaty bitterness that fades to a lingering sweetness. Yarrr! #teasky

I am a pot making machine. A sleepy, slightly broken one.

2019 Bulang Shou from @white2tea.bsky.social . I don't usually drink much shou in the summer but it's all I wanted today. What are y'all drinking? #teasky

Guazi Jin yancha from @riversandlakes.bsky.social is soothing my soul this morning. #teasky

Having technophobic daymares. Send tea.

Shi Ru from @riversandlakes.bsky.social yancha in the great outdoors is always a win for me. Something about the powerful flavors and aromas stand up so well to the (sometimes overwhelming) sensations of being outside. #teasky

Had a ton of fun designing this wrapper for @onerivertea.bsky.social ! Can't wait to try this shou! 👀 #teasky

Got pretty blasted scrambling on black lava rocks in full NM July sun all day yesterday. Several bowls of salted watermelon and now this dianhong have healed me.

Normalize unhinged glazing choices. #teasky

As soon as the temps are over 90F I just want to drink buckets of young sheng. So that's what we're doing.

2021 Smoked Lapsang from @onerivertea.bsky.social. my love for smoked teas waxes and wanes with the severity of wildfire seasons, but we are having a lucky run. 🤞 #tea

Woke up with a fierce craving for some roasty yancha, and after some frantic digging through my stash, found some shui xian from Wuji Tea Co. It hits. 🤌 #teasky

Failcorp 200x from @white2tea.bsky.social 🤌 #teasky

Drinking some 2023 Nannuo from @riversandlakes.bsky.social today. It's finally reasonably hot out so the sheng is flowing. 🤌🦎

30 second hesitation on a @gushustudios.bsky.social drop cost me the goods Need to train like an athlete to snag those gaiwans Anyway, glad she's so popular now!

Summer Drop happens today at 1PM MT. 🌞 Shop is closed til then. 💚 gushustudios.com #teasky

Pullin pots outta the kiln. Can anyone tell me why my videos all got cropped to horizontal? 💀

Bulao Dan from @riversandlakes.bsky.social ! Elixir of life indeed. I would surely pass away without good tea. 🫠 #teasky

This unfurled in my rolled oolong today. Definitely not the worst thing I've found in my tea. #teasky

Drinking Mirage from @white2tea.bsky.social today. One of my all time favs! I thought I was all out of this, but found an entire cake hiding in my stash. Thank you, past self -- you made some great choices.

Drinking some more Darjeeling. This one tastes like mangos and is Yabukita varietal. Ouroboros from Seven Essence!

Darjeeling day! I'm finally getting the hang of brewing these. Even made a larger pot for them, hah.

Finally back from wandering around southeastern Utah for most of May! Was a total dream. It's not always easy living out there, but it's always worth it. What did I miss? I'm surprised we still have some semblance of a civilization tbh.

Drinking some old shou from the year 2000 which means it's like 10 years old right

The cure for the Mondays? Matcha. Chawan by: @gushustudios.bsky.social

2018 Dark Depths from Crimson Lotus today! It was a chilly morning so I cracked this cake open. Love a high quality shou with a few years on it. #teasky

bloop

I'm in danger 🫠

I started making these really deep saucers for my gaiwans because I live at altitude. Water only gets to 202F/94C here, so sometimes I'll fill up the saucer with boiling water to help get a stronger extraction from certain teas. Especially helpful towards the end of a session! #teasky

Found out I'm a slacker today.

Went spelunking in my tea stash and found this '23 Baozhong from @riversandlakes.bsky.social Had such a nice session with it. Great tea. Plz excuse my nasty hands I've been working with black clay all week. 😂

Thinking about the time I drank white tea that was actually 30+ years old. Tell me about your super aged tea experiences! #teasky

It's gloomy out. Drinking yancha from @riversandlakes.bsky.social 🪙💧🐢🪨 oolong to be precise.

if you’re ok with everything that’s happening right now, but where you draw the line is me sharing my opinion, you can absolutely go fuck yourself. it’s an honor to lose your business. you don’t deserve my tea

The color of this sheng is sending me. 2016 Hidden Song from Crimson Lotus Tea. Still tastes amazing after all these years!

Wanted yancha but needed white, so I brewed Charing Cross from @white2tea.bsky.social sent to me by @nimzi.bsky.social ! Roasty goodness.

Cartels cease drug smuggling, turn to Puer tea following 104% tariffs

Shan Lin Xi from @riversandlakes.bsky.social this morning. One of my most loved oolongs.

@gushustudios.bsky.social sent me a sample of Civilian from @white2tea.bsky.social Creamy in the mouth & some nice yeasty notes. I think I am a light ferment fan? 🤔 #teasky #Teapet

Painted a primrose. Yay spring.
