I like tea, banjos, plants. You know, that sort of thing.

#teasky I'm wanting more savory today, so I'm doing a rice #oolong. This is my last bit of this variety, but I have a similar blend from another shop. Brewed for 3 min at 180f. #looseleaftea #whatsinmycup

#teasky #teaoftheday is an iron goddess of mercy #oolong. Not as strong as other oolongs, which is fine. Brewed for 4 min at 195f #looseleaftea #whatsinmycup

#teasky #teaoftheday is a lovely #genmaicha from Ipodo. Brewed for 30 seconds with boiling water. But alas - I'm almost out! Who has a lovely genmaicha out there? #greentea #looseleaftea #whatsinyourcup #recsplease

#teasky today's lovely #greentea comes from Emilie's French Teas. The L'Oriental is floral, but not too much. Brewed for 2.5 minutes at 176f #looseleaftea #whatsinyourcup

#teasky for this dreary Friday I'm doing one of my favorite caffeinated #tissanes - yaupon. Yaupon is not as grassy as Yerba mate - more woody in a pleasant way. This yaupon chai is delicious and comes in sustainable packaging! #yaupon #indigenoustea #whatsinyourcup

I love drawing birds. I needed some color in my world, so I drew this little summer tanager.

#teasky #teaoftheday is the Monet Camille from Chicago Teahouse. I'm almost out of it, and while I have enjoyed it, if I had to get another tea from there I would go with their winter pine. Brewed for 2 min at 180 #greentea #whatsinyourcup

#teasky #teaoftheday is a beautiful #oolong - Jade Oolong from The Tea Market. For the longest time, I did not care for oolongs. Then I had a good one prepared correctly and it rocked my world. You gotta give things what they need to so they can be their best #whatsinyourcup #looseleaftea

#teasky what do you all do when you travel? I was talking to a lovely Aussie lady in Fargo, ND, and she recommended a travel kettle, but I don't remember the brand. Do you bring tea bags or use your loose leafs?

#teasky been gone on business all week and now I'm back to my tea habit. It's a bittersweet day - the last spoonful of this beautiful white chai by Bramble & Rose. 10/10 am planning on getting more and soon. #whitetea #looseleaftea #whatsinyourcup #chai

#teasky Lord have mercy, it's going to be one of those days. I opted for my favorite #looseleaf #blacktea - lapsang souchong. This one is from Chicago Teahouse. I need the smoke today - makes me think I'm drinking scotch. #whatsinyourcup

#teasky I know flavored teas are looked down upon by some, but damn if the good ones aren't tasty. This is one I need to defy my tea buying pause for and get more of. Great flavor, not too sweet. Brewed for 2.5 minutes at 160f #greentea #looseleaftea #whatsinyourcup

Seeing a few mentions of golden monkey on #teasky gave me a hankering. I got this selection from Tea Market in Kansas City. Mellow, smooth flavor. Brewed for 4 minutes with boiling water. #looseleaftea #blacktea #whatsinmycup

#teasky busy day today, so I need some chill out tea. GABA #oolong from The Jasmine Pearl. Each brewing is mellower than the last. Brewed for 3+ minutes at 195. I brew my oolongs twice. I'm skeptical of oolongs that don't come in balls. #looseleaftea #whatsinmycup

#sketchoftheday #tensketchyminutes incomplete drawing of my yoga basket. I wanted to work with more curves and organic shapes. More practice needed.

#teasky now transitioning to tissanes. I've got this lovely honeybush from Sibahle Teas. I wasn't a fan of honey bush for the longest time - too mild. However, I used a light tablespoon and brewed for 7.5 minutes, and it is lovely! #looseleaftea #herbaltea #tissane #whatsinmycup

Is #TeaSky a thing? Can we make it one? I love tea - it is an absolute joy in my life. Right now, I'm enjoying Tranquility tea from Jasmine Pearl tea company in Portland, OR. No flavoring, just straight green tea. Kind of vegetal, really mellow. Brewed at 180F for four minutes.

#sketchoftheday I'm pretty good at drawing birds, but I'm trying to get better at general sketching. Especially with pen. Hence Ten Sketchy Minutes. Here are some candles on our mantle. #tensketchyminutes
