okay ive been doing something......Petty. The last few weeks.

I read a negative review of the Imperial Radch series, I don't remember for which book specifically (but either Sword or Mercy), that among other things said it was unreasonable and unrealistic that the characters would reuse tea leaves. That you're not supposed to do that, that the tea will taste gross if you do.

So I've spent the last three weeks or so reusing my tea leaves because if I'm going to tell someone theyre wrong, I'm going to have evidence to back it up (sometimes. If I'm petty enough. I'm petty enough for this.)

This is ignoring tea that is meant to be resteeped, like blooming tea, because thats expensive and seems a little too obvious to point out. I used loose leaf jasmine green tea, because its delicious and I do agree that resteeped tea BAGS are gross.

SO. It's fine! Like I thought! In fact! I almost prefer the resteeped tea taste because it's a lighter flavor! I left my tea strainer unattended for ten minutes (thanks adhd) which SHOULD have made it taste bitter and gross, but it was FINE! Delicious even!

I've resteeped over the course of 48 hours only because every time I try to leave the leaves alone, my mom goes "ew what is this" and throws it out lmao which. Fair. (she doesnt Get why I did this but momther I got my pettiness from you so this is your own doing.)

IN CONCLUSION not only is it perfectly fine and reasonable for the average person with access to fresh tea to resteep loose leaves, but it's even more believable that PEOPLE ON A SPACEHIP IN DEEP SPACE WHO WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO RATION THEIR FOOD to resteep tea as much as possible and get as much tea out of it as they can.

Makes even more sense if said people on said spaceship see tea as a very important part of their culture and it would be disruptive if they had to go without.

thank you for coming to my TEA talk

I drink a lot of loose leaf and it's not uncommon to reuse the leaves since some teas as you resteep them change in flavor/aroma. Puerh is one that mellows out over reuses. The tea that they are probably using on radch ships are probably bricks or cakes because it's easier to store and divy up among the people.

I think you may like the gongfu method of tea brewing since it involves resteeping to enjoy the tea to the fullest

How to tell me you’ve only had colonizer tea without telling me you’ve only had colonizer tea … 

I will straight up say it: believing there’s some universal dictum against reusing tea leaves is racist.

THE BEST GREEN, OOLONG, AND PU-ERH TEA FLAVORS ARE FROM THE SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, ETC. INFUSIONS. THEY ARE LITERALLY MEANT TO BE USED MORE THAN ONCE.

Tumblr added a bunch of tracking shit to share urls, so now ill teach you how to get rid of them

if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

image

getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden


image

in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

image

first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it

a clean Tumblr url should look like this
