Every couple of months I pull out my #tamagotchi and kill a concerning amount of Hashizotchis before letting the battery die.
But this time I got a Pochitchi!! Not an accomplishment at all to real tama people but I am very proud

Three new-to-me #boardgames last game night: Hokkaido, Notre Dame, and Art Society.
Loved Notre Dame! The art was meh but I really enjoyed the drafting, limited workers, and character market.
Art Society was fun with solid production quality, fun bidding, and relaxing tile placement.

Holiday tea session of BLT's '25 youhuaxiang dancong. 1g/15ml @ boiling. Wet leaves smelled of pistachios and caramelized sugar.
I see why this varietal is called "pomelo flower aroma": the citrus flavor steals the show and the bitterness is reminiscent of zest. Light, floral, and yummy!

Working from home today, drinking Ketlee's 2025 Assam spring green tea from Latomoni village (Dibrugarh).
A pleasant cup: not astringent or overly grassy. I killed my pallet eating a Jaffa cake while drinking this so no real flavor notes to share today #teasky

Learned to play Obsession (2018) today while drinking a 2025 First Flush Darjeeling from the Avongrove Estate.
200ml @ 84°C, 2g, 3 min steep. A floral and fruity cup, perfect for a game set in Victorian England. #teasky #boardgames

Rainy day 🌧️ drinking BLT 2025 Simao dongfang meiren oolong. It's not from Taiwan, but I'm not well-versed in baihao anyway and it's $0.28/g
Tea was super floral & fruity with a lovely sweetness. I can taste the soap hint someone on steepster mentioned but it is a good cup! I'm excited to drink more

More tea mail 📨 I *had* to buy this capybara tea pet.. so I figured I might as well get more tea to meet free shipping 👀 Crazy how this decision seems a lot less frivolous in light of recent tariff news..

My first order from Ketlee. I'm looking forward to trying their first flush sampler and masala chai. I also got their single origin CTC explorer so I can step up my own chai game.
Most excited to finally try their experimental "Indian Gushu Sheng" from 2020, 2022, and 2023.

Had a great time learning Apiary tonight! As a former bee researcher, I absolutely loved the theme and I really liked how workers strength increased over time. I also learned Acquire (1963) which was a bunch of fun as well. #boardgames

#boardgame night of Terracotta Army (2022) followed up with a quick game of Big Shot (2001).
I really enjoyed TC's rotating action rings. I always felt I had good options to choose from even if actions and scoring could change on a dime.. leaving me to recalculate my turn last minute.

Someone on discord called Nuo Mi Xiang the "pineapple pizza of puerh"
I love pineapple pizza and sticky rice herb so today I drank some more BLT rice to meet you
My assamica plant even unfurled a new flower in between when I started my session and when I finished 💚🌼

Happy autumnal (or vernal) equinox! I started off fall by finally harvesting the last of my carrots (hopefully they haven't gone bitter 🤞)

BLT's 'Black Snake' spring Yiwu black tea brewed like their 'White Snake'. The sweetness dominated and was pleasant but it was thinner with no creaminess. None of the advertised floral notes but I attribute that to the lower than usual temp
Nice but I think a higher temp will reveal more character

BLT's 'White Snake 2025 Spring Yiwu' white tea today #teasky. Definitely got creaminess in steeps 3-5. Great mouthfeel and sweetness 💯
Made from the same material as their 'Black Snake' sun dried black and 'Year of the Snake' sheng. I can't wait to do a comparison between the different processing

Pallid bats are one of many favorites but they are sooo bitey. Don't be fooled by that cute face: they hunt scorpions 🦂🦇

Tired day 🥱 got me craving "coffee like roasted notes" so I brewed up BLT's Goddess Roast 2013 Tieguanyin Oolong
Not super energetic but the roast made for a delicious cuppa!
1g/20ml at today's boiling point of 94°C (201°F). I think using ½ distilled water also really improved the flavor
