I have gotten fixated on a project.
I want to make a tea for 2023.
When I started thinking about it, I asked for some input on some of the social media platforms I attempt to use for Desert Sage Natural, and what I received gave me Ideas.
However, it also reminded me of how much I used to enjoy the Build-A-Tea and Dice-Rolls-For-Tea projects.
Given the downfall of the platform formerly known as Twitter, not sure if I will be able to generate as many votes as has happened prior, but I wanted to try.
In part because it is often more of a challenge to create a tea this way, and, in part because collaborative creation is one of my absolute favourite things.
I put a couple of hard guidelines/limitations on myself for the ingredient selection lists.
The first was that the foundation for this 2023 tea would be one of the foundational teas that was named in 2023. The second is that I wanted to include one of the ingredients that I either added to the toolbox properly or finally got around to getting comfortable with in 2023.
The other categories are based on the feedback for the year and my own feelings about it – for now I am going to leave three of those as numbers and will elaborate, if wanted, once the tea is done.
Some of the ingredients do repeat, but that was intentional as they fit into more than one of the categories I had set up for myself.
Let’s make a tea.
I can’t tell you how much your notes mean to me each month. I so appreciate the ToftM and look forward to your packages
More in the incoming note, but thank you very much for this.
