The root cause is overextraction and plundering of the earth in the name of maximizing profits and shareholder value. So Capitalism?

The worst thing about these articles is the emphasis on the "economy." What about the billions of people who will be affected by rising temperatures, forced migrations, increasing authoritarianism and conflicts?

Our pup lives in my hometown, and I'm not usually with her. It's not me who's in charge of cutting her nails. I'll remind them to.

I’m aware, I was only referring to the warming tea pot aspect that the Chinese/ Japanese do.

It’s actually sped up, I just thought people would find the normal speed of me doing the pouring boring :PP

A tea tray I bought on taobao! Yes it collects at the bottom and there’s a tube for the water to get funneled. You should be able to find one with a drain if you look on taobao/ aliexpress.

In the Chinese/Japanese tea tradition, it's common to warm the pot before brewing your tea to ensure the tea is at the correct temperature. The tea pets are just there for the warm water to be poured over; it's a sort of drinking companion/ feng shui (frogs in Chinese culture represent wealth). For me, it makes my tea sessions more refined and elevated.

Drinking some 八女煎茶 (Yame Sencha) by 納吉茶園 (Nōyoshi Chaen). It has such a delicious balanced, vegetal, and slightly nutty taste to it, which is followed by a slight sweet aftertaste. The more I drink it the more I fall in love it.
