Photo of a small Turkish style glass teacup on saucer with a teaspoon. That gorgeous, life-affirming brown-gold liquid is black tea with peppermint. The cup is placed on a brown wooden table.
Been a while since I did a #TeaAppreciation post. Tbh struggling to figure out navigating small/big goals with debilitating chronic pain/fatigue... Deep breaths.
Grateful for tea! 🍵🌸

A quick doodle on a gridded page by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan showing a teacup with steaming tea in it and a cartoon cat soaking in it, with its head and a paw popping out of the edge of the rim. The cat looks like it is relaxing in a nice warm soak.
Today's #tea was chrysanthemum pu er that got me through some of today's tasks (yay!). And the mood of which is captured here in this quick sketch (1-2mins). #TeaAppreciation #art #artists #cat #sketch #doodle #SupportArtists #DisabledArtist
A photo of a small teacup filled with dark brown cooked pu er tea in the foreground, being held up in front of a device on which shows Dhiyanah's work in progress artwork. The artwork shows a painted corner of snapdragons, and the hint of braided hair.
Today's #tea is a treat, a gift from our tea aunty, and my new fave. Cooked pu er for grounding after a sensorially stressful few days.
Also, navigating floral details for current commissioned #WIP 🍵

A photo of two teacups from a Chinese tea set, displayed on top of a tray with a hollow bottom which is sometimes called a tea garden, with a clay teapot placed at the other side of it. The tray is slightly wet from having tea and hot water pour on it. The small teacups are filled with a light gold liquid of oolong tea.
Today's #tea was the gentle oolong, a reliable accompaniment for a quiet weekend and some self-soothing 🍵 #TeaAppreciation
A photo of a plate on which rests a small purple tea pot with two small Chinese-styled tea cups filled with hot amber colored tea, with bits of tea leaf inside.
Rough day with the flare-ups. Brought out the cooked pu er to help with slowing down and self-soothing. The ritualized gestures of pouring and steeping help a lil 💆🏽🍵🌸

A photo of a slightly curved plate on which rests a Chinese tea set in use. A small teapot along with two small tea cups is displayed, with a light gold oolong tea in the cups. There are purple floral designs on a small section of the plate.
This week's #tea is a light and calming oolong we've loved for years, and recently unpacked. It's helping alleviate some of the massive chronic pain flares.
Pain meds don't work for me. Thankfully, (sometimes) tea does! In any case, any bit of relief is welcomed. #TeaAppreciation

🍵 I paired this book with a custom tea blend of butterfly pea (for the T'Tolani blue! but also for health benefits lol), stinging nettles & ginger, sweetened w spiced jaggery.
Refreshing, with a bright kick to it. Felt apt for this fiery, lovable MC. #teaAppreciation #BookSky #TeaSky
A photo showing two small teacups in the foreground placed on a sun shaped medium multi-colored coaster with a light vermillion colored tea in them. Beside them is my hand resting on my ereader with a pink cover. On the other side is a teapot with loose leaf floral tea steeping in water that's now a deeper vermillion color. The teapot is resting over a tealight candle holder.
Last month I was gifted some #tea by chosen fam, and it's been a small but very meaningful joy to sit down with them.
This rose & orange blend has won me over - not a combo I'd have mixed myself. The kinda warmth a hug from a trusted person can give, an always-necessary comfort 🍵🧡 #teaappreciation
An angled photo of a teacup in the foreground on a floral saucer with light gold liquid in which dried chamomile flowers swirl around. Beside this is the cropped view of a teapot with hawthorn and goji berries floating around the filtered slot where the rest of the tea is steeping. In the background are more teacups with floral decorations.
Today's #tea was a black tea I wasn't impressed by (no pic). Instead, let me tell you about this rooibos chamomile blend.
The flavor of reverie, the lightness of slowing down. Alas, this blend wasn't available to take home. I must DIY it one day. #teaappreciation
A photo of a white teacup decorated with a green and gold band filled with oat milk masala chai displayed next to a tablet showcasing a close-up of an illustration by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan. The cup and tablet are resting on white and black placemats. The blurred illustration in the background shows a figure in bed with a tires expression in their face.
Feeling what needs to be felt can open up space to receive kindness.
Today's #tea is oat milk masala chai feat. spiced jaggery. The dance of cardamom & ginger brighten the senses, expanding permission for the bodymind to stay grounded, even here. #disabledartist #teaappreciation
A photo of a pastel green teacup and saucer with amber brown mint tea in it and a tea bag steeping in it with bits of green herbs visible from the filter.
Caught up with friends, nourishing food over nourishing conversations. Reminders I've got some book notes/reviews to get to.
Today's #tea is this mint verbaena blend, the flavor of a gentle nudge accompanied by a refreshing undertone. I thought of moss. #teaappreciation
Photo of a floral teacup with oatmilk masala chai resting on a blue coaster with my hand partially seen on the handle. Beside it is a tablet in pink casing displaying a work in progress of an illustration I'm working on. The background is a green gridded cutting mat.
Slowing down(ish) to pull my bodymind towards some quiet. Letting things steep while tending to current WIPs.
Today's #tea is my masala chai, with oatmilk. This diasporic-in-the-Global-South desi needs to keep it dairy-free 🌿

A photo of a small Chinese teapot in black with colorful Arabesque and Oriental designs framing its lid and bottom half. It has a wooden cover near the lid. It rests on a sunshine colored crochet coaster the shape of the sun, with a teacup in front of it filled with dark red clear tea. The tea set and coaster are displaued on a painted wooden tray in the style of drip painting. The background is grey.
It's tricky times living with this grief. Moments of quiet are much sought-out and warmly embraced.
Today's tea is a ready-made blend for making things easier - featuring blueberries, rose hip, and hibiscus 🍵 #tea #teaappreciation
