Good night

@Apricot064 For example if you roll the tea more or less, you influence how readily it oxidizes by exposing more or less of the leaf's interior to oxygen, which then affects how the compounds within the leaves break down

Evening tea. Dianhong Songzhen.

A bit light-bodied today due to the amount of tea I'm using, but still decent.

@Apricot064 Depending on the cultivar used, as well as how the black tea was processed, its flavor profile can be described as malty, fruity, floral, honeyed, chocolaty, or a combination of sorts

@sewer_girl0 Cute...

@mgonasaystuf Modern Gongfu cha, and its main inspiration, the tea tradition of Chaoshan, is diametrically opposed to this philosophy of brewing: small teapots are crammed with tea leaves, the tea is brewed for mere seconds, and then served directly into three small, eggshell-thin teacups.

@mgonasaystuf As many Western black tea blends are meant to be drunk with milk, adding milk will also help cut the astringency; the blends are designed with that in mind, to some extent.

(By "Western method," I mean brewing tea in a large teapot with a moderately small amount of tea.)

@willowtarka Many people who proclaim to like this kind of music are posers with a staged appreciation for it, meant solely to display how "cultivated" they are; the music is merely an accessory to be worn for validation within their circles.

LARPers, in the pejorative sense of the word.

@SleepingAuggie It looks very nice

[Pepe @Pepehound]

@0xCE7E5 You will...

Afternoon tea. Dongting Biluochun.

And with that, the pre-Qingming Biluochun comes to an end. Very good right to the end.

@smallestsolace It's much more convenient for humans to label, classify, categorize, and ultimately place themselves and others on different "shelves" than to accept that people are ultimately irreducible, and that no label can fully capture the complexity of a human being.

@SassixAnime Good morning.

Not really...

That field you see in the background is mostly used for baseball, softball, cricket, and occasionally flag football and football proper

@Apricot064 Souvlaki and Pygmalion are very good albums...
