And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
It’s just one method to make tea. Some teas taste quite different from cup to cup (wuyi oolongs, for example), some are more consistent, in my experience. What I like is that it’s easy to adjust depending on the outcome - one infusion is too weak or too strong? Brew the next one more or less.
I enjoy brewing loose leaf tea gongfu style (in a small vessel with many infusions): it gives me just enough to do, and a pleasant stimulus to focus on, that it’s very grounding.
I like the idea of this community, and subscribed, but fyi that link doesn’t work for me on kbin. This is the right link on here, I believe: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] - m rather than c.
Short sighted behavior is hardly limited to capitalist enterprises, let’s be honest.
Enabling the Top Bar in the kbin UI settings makes the site much easier to navigate for me. I also prefer the compact view option.
That’s a pretty good summary.
