A few weeks ago sampling some sheng (raw) puer tea.
And trying to capture the afternoon light.
The young tea leaves
One morning this cherry plum tree stole my attention with it's blossoms.
Enjoying the blossoms with a lightly oxidized oolong from Alishan...
...And used a plum blossom motif tea cup I bought on a whim prior to moving into our new home.
Some tiny ground flowers that sprung up
Some started to wilt after several days.
I was never a flower or plant person...
..maybe it's age,
maybe it's looking at life differently,
maybe it's the surprise beauty and the uncertainty of when they will wither that makes me take time to admire them...
but I've come to think of them as "nice to have" these days.
Especially with tea.
