I didn't get a #tea #Advent calendar this year. Let's see if I can get a full 24 days without repeats out of what I've got in the pantry.

Today's tea is Great British Cuppa left over from my Bird&Blend calendar from two years ago. Since this is day 1, I'm following the instructions, oversteeping and then adding milk for a nice serviceable coffee-tea.

I got this mug from the British Museum gift shop in January. The Rosetta Stone was one of my early inspirations to study linguistics.

Black tea steeping in a small mug printed with the text of the Rosetta Stone in all three scripts.

when the tea leaves read you back

A ceramic cup resting in some weeds. There is a little bit of amber-colored tea left in the cup with some tea leaf dust that has settled at the bottom. The ratio of the tea leaf dust and tea make it look like a pupil and iris so the whole cup looks like an eye.

I'm Red. New to this platform, and new to social media. I love nature. I like to drink tea. I like to think. Drinking tea and thinking while out in nature? Even better.

Tooting and boosting things I find interesting. No minors. Thank you.

Depends who makes it. I know people (I use the term loosely) who call hot water with milk a cup of tea.

The Yorkshire Tea colour chart.
On a pale blue background, images of various strengths of tea are shown on a three by three grid. In each of the squares is a tea cup representation.
From top left to bottom right the colour becomes darker, from pale cream at the top left to black at bottom right.

They're labeled sequentially:

Essentially water;
The walking dead;
The whole cow;
Gran's house;
Werthers original ;
He-man;
Tannin salon;
Out of milk;
No! That's coffee.

@Fragarach @ravensrod @TheBreadmonkey @HeatherMJ I think I sit somewhere between Werther's Original and He-Man and that's my happy tea place

How is it possible for the tea tree to produce so many subtle flavors and aromas. The oolong we are having today has the aroma of a wild honey, sweet but also floral, but the taste has a hint of hot rocks a mineral taste, and of course the bitter and lightly woody taste of the tea itself.

This isn't an herbal tea. HOW does this happen?

#tea well,well people who love to drink tea often know how the #water they use has a bigbig influence on the outcome of their brew. I recently got a RO water filter and digged through some tea forums. Luckily i came across, this blog:

https://teasecrets.home.blog/2020/12/06/replicating-toronto-tap-water/

It has a few water receipts. Experiementing with this is a lot of fun.

What you can see in the pic, is my first clone of Bad Liebenwerda water...

Wawww look at our cool new looks! <3 Thanks @janamarie <3 <3 <3

(yes, it looks a lot like #39C3: https://events.ccc.de/en/2025/10/30/39c3-erstrahlt-im-nerdy-chique/ )

#bragging #proud #tea

CCC Event Blog

The 39C3 sparkles with nerdy chic

Earlier than ever before, the design team is giving us the opportunity to adorn flags, circuit boards, sunglasses, and websites with the hot Congress partner look. To this end, the two designers of 39C3, Nina Bender and Bernd Volmer, have lovingly crafted a design guide with a matching font that should spur our creativity and enable many playful and nerdy interpretations. Video capable browsers would play a 39C3 teaser video here. We have been provided with a professionally designed variable font to play with. Using only a few cleverly placed lines of CSS as in the examples here, blinking lights at the glyph level is trivially implemented.
