CharlotteZero drank 2013 NAMRING-POOMONG UPPER FTGFOP1 Darjeeling First Flush EX1 2013 by Mariage Frères

This was my cup of the morning. I meant to reach for the Margaret’s Hope FF, but put this one into my teapot instead. The infuser was still damp from being washed, so I couldn’t put the leaves back. I was hoping I would like this tea better the second time drinking it…

Bio

I first became interested in tea through the world of BDSM and my love of high protocol. I was fascinated by the elaborate etiquette of Chanoyu and the humility of Gongfucha.

Tea now means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.

Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.
