// I'm sorry I'm not at devcon too. Big hospital work on Mon-Wed and friend's wedding ceremony after.
going from real chai to the sweetened chai concentrate at coffee shops is a brutal transition

Today's foam is a twist of the galaxy 💚

Got a very headache today due to too many pt. this morning did 10 patients in 3 hrs. 🥹

2 more specialist tasks in the afternoon and would be free.

Dunno if that's a headache from hardwork or caffeine addiction🤣

2nd bowl with bamboo whisk , ah it's super easier than resin whisker.

Very demure , very mindful
Strawberry and creme tea (+ bonus of dark chocolate and marzipan treat)!
Happy Saturday! 🫖🍫
After doing this alomost every day for 2yrs. I just realised how much money I whisked 🤣🤣.

Today I made Usucha, which I hadn't done in a long time, so I chose bamboo chasen.

The most important thing is to warm chasen before performing. BTW , big difference between resin and bamboo chasens are comb thickness and its resistance.

Whisking with bamboo is a lot easier.

The result was as I expected: clean, soft foam. how satisfying ahhh.

tessa almond cookie x apple crumble dried fruit medley x a pinch of decaf french vanilla loose leaf = spiritual coziness
My ceremonial grade matcha stock was just empty. Only premium grade Yabukita matcha available in my fridge. So I boost the flavour up with coconut juice!

Tea bar in Koto tea house.

I really want to have one at home cos I'm too lazy to prepare equipment everyday.
I have to pick things up one by one when I wanna make matcha ; scale , powder , chawan , blablabla.

If I had a tea bar, I could just keep the equipment there! 😂😂

Today I went to Koto Tea Space, one of the matcha shops I mentioned before, just know it's owned by a Japanese person.

They often bring matcha senseis from Japan to teach in Thailand as well. The shop has a rather conventional way, which is included a ceremonial preparation too.,

Btw the matcha blend is really impressive.
Today, I chose the Uji blend Asahi + Saemidori + Narino, which is very deep in flavor.
Another late summer love: bubble tea (no sugar added). This passion fruit + lemon one is very refreshing.
