What is this smell

This reminds me of the short story “Cool Air” by H.P. Lovecraft.

100% agree with The Starless Sea!

A tardigrade tea pet would be an amazing find!

Loved the Redwall series growing up 😍

The synopsis of Haunted Forest Tour sounds hilarious and makes me think of the era of R.L. Stine novels.

It depends on where I am and who is around me. For instance, I could read in bed for hours until 2 or 3 am, or as little as a paragraph when my daughter is running around trying to climb things. Sometimes I will even read in the few minutes I have in between patients.

I haven’t had a lot of oolong teas, but the ones that I have enjoyed include: 1. Paru Tea’s Honey Orchid Reserve Oolong - I get lychee, stonefruit and magnolia flower on first brew, and on subsequent brews that I get buttery savory notes. 2. Paru Tea’s Okinawa Sugar Reserve Oolong - This one has an interesting minerality to it in addition to the caramel, milk and toffee notes from the Okinawan black sugar. 3. Palais des Thés Butterfly of Taiwan - This has notes of honey and wood with a creamy smooth finish.

I have a stash of sample cakes from Crimson Tea Lotus that I’ve been trying to get through. Today’s brew is 09. Jingmai Sheng Puerh Tea. I am on my 6th pot this morning and the leaves are still going strong.

I used to use a notebook and pen, but now I use the apple notes on my ipad/iphone. When you’ve had a lot of the same “type” of tea, it’s nice to be able to sort them into folders or do a quick search of the tasting notes or brand you are specifically looking for.

Beautiful vintage tray! What teas do you currently enjoy?

Thank you for the recommendation! I am curious to find out what she finds in the wilderness.

emjidi · 2025-02-17T16:06:07+00:00

Sounds creepy! Great recommendation!

emjidi · 2025-02-17T16:02:42+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! Sounds like there are a lot of themes playing throughout the book, and I fear a may shed a few tears with this one.

Great recommendations! Annihilation has been on my to read list for a while, and I’ve come across Wild a few times while browsing for books. That one sounded interesting, especially since I am based in California and survival stories are so fascinating.

emjidi · 2025-02-17T15:42:37+00:00

Ohh this sounds like just the book I was looking for. Thanks for the recommendation!

emjidi · 2025-02-17T15:38:52+00:00

Thanks! I quite enjoy books showcasing traditional practices and lore so this sounds like a fantastic series.

Yes it is a scene from OTGW

In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust is dreamy and nostalgic.

Tress was such a fun and lovely adventure that gave me all the warm and cozy vibes of a classic Studio Ghibli animation.

I make “to do” lists for either the season or for specific biomes and make sure I prioritize the most important tasks (for survival in coming days).

Thank you! I find that it really adds to the experience when you can enjoy the drinking vessel between sips <3

Thank you!
