Quite a pot to inspire such musings!

Perhaps even more Masson Trichrome than Haematoxylin and Eosin, agree.

Yowza. Blue. Drippy. The purple-red areas with pale spots are like H&E stained cells view under a microscope. Cool beans. And cute shape to boot.

I bought a variety of blacks from Yatra tea and I’m finally opening them....just in time for the opening of sparkling tea season as the weather turns warm. This conversation makes me happy!

That’s a very fancy label. So curious now as to what that tea was like.....

Welcome, Shawnda! Looking forward to learning more about herbals and sharing about C sinensis teas.

I wonder though if those vacu-canisters would suck up the powdered matcha? debunix might have some ideas since you’ve posted about using your Food Saver vacuum system with various teas. I’ve never tried it with matcha. I’m opening one matcha pack at a time and using it up as quick as I can, storing...
