I was at home today to try and get to grips with a big piece of work without distraction. I managed to have tea in the morning: some excellent 2018 Autumn Bamboo Spring sheng from @theessenceoftea. It really helped me focus. • #instatea #teaceremony #teacommunity #teastagram #gongfucha #scottishgongfu #teapractice #mindfulness #theessenceoftea #puerh #shengpuerh #rawpuerh #handmade #teaware #ceramics #pottery #instapottery #bitterleafteas #jiriduchek #keramikaduchek #breacthebadger

No words today; just wonderful tea. • @ecochateas Winter 2018 Dong Ding • #instatea #teaceremony #teacommunity #teastagram #gongfucha #scottishgongfu #teapractice #mindfulness #ecochateas #dongding #oolong #roastedoolong #handmade #teaware #ceramics #pottery #instapottery #ondrejsedlak #viterceramics #jiriduchek #keramikaduchek #breacthebadger

Sometimes the blues win; listening to the birdsong with some @whisperingpinestea North Winds. • #instatea #teaceremony #teacommunity #teastagram #gongfucha #scottishgongfu #teapractice #mindfulness #whisperingpinestea #blacktea #hongcha #handmade #teaware #ceramics #pottery #instapottery #davidlouveau #lazycattea #bitterleafteas #baimuquan #ondrejsedlak #breacthebadger

It’s a beautiful day here—Spring-like, finally—and this is a beautiful tea. 2012 GuShu Bada sheng from @pu_erh.sk. Warm, wild honey notes in the leaves, with a sweetness I love in puerh. I used another of the trio of Dan Hogan’s cups (@danielhoganpottery) and it was the ideal complement for this tea. I hope you all have a lovely weekend. • #instatea #teaceremony #teacommunity #teastagram #gongfucha #scottishgongfu #teapractice #mindfulness #puerhsk #puerh #shengpuerh #rawpuerh #handmade #teaware #ceramics #pottery #instapottery #danielhoganpottery #ondrejsedlak #viterceramics #jiriduchek #keramikaduchek #breacthebadger

The ebb and flow of the springtide, washing everything in ultramarine. • #springtime #springtide #skyblue #corstorphine #corstorphineparishchurch

A revisit this afternoon to The Bitter End 2018 Spring Lao Man E sheng from @bitterleafteas. This is one of my favourite teas and it didn’t disappoint today. Strong, thick flavours of pleasing bitterness and a sweetness that isn’t long in coming. The qi is one of the most powerful and quick-acting I’ve ever experienced; it’s truly remarkable. These things don’t usually affect me much, but this tea does it every time. It’s even better in one of the new tea bowls from @danielhoganpottery. The cup is an ideal size and shape and it presents the tea perfectly. Sometimes life doesn’t get any better than these shared moments. Have a good weekend everyone! • #instatea #teaceremony #teacommunity #teastagram #gongfucha #scottishgongfu #teapractice #mindfulness #bitterleafteas #laomane #puerh #thebitterend #shengpuerh #rawpuerh #handmade #teaware #ceramics #pottery #instapottery #danielhoganpottery #janpavek #ondrejsedlak #viterceramics #jiriduchek #keramikaduchek #breacthebadger
