Tea Party

When you were little, your father took you to a store. Everything looked big and colorful as you walked hand in hand with him, you were fascinated. He filled the shopping cart with everything that your family may need for the month, and in between all the groceries you saw a polar bear box fall.

You were obsessed with the box and how it smelled, you loved it so much your dad opened it and took out a teabag. Gosh! The sweet minty smell filled the kitchen, it was divine, “Here, but be careful it’s a bit hot, so blow gently” he instructed, pushing gently your green kitty mug towards you.

It was sweet, not so cloying nor minty enough to taste like toothpaste, it was lovely.

He say the way you smiled, so he bought you boxes and boxes of candy cane green tea, only to see your excitement when he opened it for you.

Even as an agent, after every mission you took out your kitty mug from the cupboard, a bag of either mint, cinnamon or vanilla, a spoonful of sugar, added water, and sat on the couch near the window to observe the city, even better if it was raining, the tower had the best views.

The warmth, it was like a hug, or maybe you were just tired and alone, but the truth was that you missed him, your dad.

“I’m gonna make some tea, Loki would you like some?” It was custom of yours; it brought a smile to his face to see that at least someone didn’t treated him like garbage, “Yes, thank you. Earl Grey please” in comparison his taste was fancy, both price and composition.

“Have you ever tasted Earl grey?” you shook your head, “Would you like to try some?” he didn’t added any sugar to his tea, that was something that made you hold back on his offer, but you didn’t wanted to seem impolite, so you nodded and received his cup on your hands.

It tasted worse than sock water.

“And?” he wanted to know your opinion, crap! “Uhm, it’s just not my thing, thank you” you placed his cup on his hands again. He had such a look on his eyes, would he be offended because you didn't like the tea? or could it be that you made faces when taking the sip? You wished you could read his mind, but you would have to pass twenty thousand barriers. In the end, you had different tastes, that was obviously valid, but maybe not in his mind.

“Maybe it’s because you tainted your tastebuds with that cheap stuff of yours” he mumbled, you heard him but pretended you didn’t.

It wasn’t the fist time someone had tried to pick on you because of the things you enjoyed, you were used to it, and still it didn’t bothered you a single bit. You were stronger, and the taste made the horrible feelings go away.

But, how the guy you like would understand? That his words hit you harder than anyone else’s. Maybe he hasn’t realized that you have something for him, you thought you were pretty obvious.

He tried a couple more times with different tea options, Black, Jasmine, Oolong, Chun Mee green tea, but it all tasted the same, bitter and earthy, like a dirt sort of flavor.

He lost it when he saw you taking out a bag from the candy cane tea box.

“Why you drink that rubbish?” you heard Loki chuckle, “I like it” you knew he was mocking you, but you took a stand as the bigger person and continued to do your thing. “It’s not even tea, it’s an insult to call it as such” he laughed again, drinking earl Grey Tea from his cup, “And? I like it, and that’s all that matters” ‘strong’ you repeated in your head, until he grabbed your arm keeping you from leaving the kitchen.

“Here, I’ll make you a cup of real tea” Loki dragged you inside, blocking the door, “Let go, Loki. Hey!” you protested, he snatched your mug from your hands and placed one of his plain white ones.

“Drink real tea the right way, here” you placed the cup on the counter and open your hand, “Give it back Loki, I mean it” you sounded stern and serious, but he laughed, “Not until you desist from this garbage” the tea went straight down the drain, and the teabag to the trash can.

“I’ll make more Loki, I don’t care, give me my mug” he sensed your desperation, your big mistake, because he used it to make his bargain serious, “Drink the tea, darling, it’s good for you and it doesn’t have as much chemicals” it made you so angry you wanted to cry, but sucked it up fast enough, “Give me my mug Loki, now!” your hands were shaking, your body visibly trembling from the impotence.

He chuckled, “Make me”. You approached him harshly and rapidly, he was fast to catch your arm with one hand and dodge your other one with his body, moving in circles in the squared kitchen. One unfortunate movement made him drop the mug, it crashed against the floor in millions of pieces.

You felt your heart stop.

“See what you do?” he exhaled, watching you pick up a few pieces from the floor, “Relax Y/n, it’s just a mug” he was being careless, intentionally or not it hurt you nonetheless, “I bet I can buy you a new one” but that was the blow that killed you.

You let out a shaky breath, stood up pushing him against the counter and left the kitchen with your eyes clouded in tears.

“You’re an idiot” Natasha entered the room, her arms crossed, “How come am I an idiot, Agent Romanoff?” he positioned against the counter, like trying to look like you didn’t just pushed him.

“That mug and tea has been her favorites forever, you shouldn't have done that” she said it just to spite him, he thought, “Come on, you must know if she has better taste” it slipped, making Nat laugh, “I hope so”.

Loki let out a funny ‘Wow’, thinking he had agreed with the agent, “I’m pretty glad we concur on someth-” but he earned a punch to his face. “I mean her taste in men, asshole” it was like he was missing something, “I beg your pardon?”.

“You heard me. That tea was something special she had with her dad, and that mug was the last thing she had from him before he died, it was her sixth birthday, a year prior to the shooting he died in” his blood froze inside his body, his stomach tightened and felt sick, “I…I didn’t know” now he was the one with the shaky hands.

“Fix this, or that scepter of yours will end up your intestines” Nat threatened, deep down being very serious.

But he clicked, he had to fix it. Not because of her threat, but because of two things. One, he hurt you, and two, the guilt would kill him. The guilt of the fact that he made you cry.

“Y/n?” he said after knocking your door, his voice almost cracked.

“Go away Loki” he opened the door either way, “Are you deaf or stupid? I don’t want you here” wrapped in your blanket you hugged a picture and a shard of the broken mug.

“Please listen, I didn’t know about your father” his stomach flipped inside him, your eyes were anger raw, he knew you restrained yourself from beating him up when you approached him.

“How amazing of you. You insult me, you annoy me, you don't stop until you break something that I had a lot of affection for. Natasha has told you, hasn't she? Fuck you Loki, I don't want to see you, I don't want to talk to you, and forget about me, good luck finding another one who treats you like a person in this place. I'm tired of you and your teasing” the world opened to him, he looked back months of conversations with you.

How lovely you always were with him, even though he was being horrible to you. Never losing that beautiful smile of yours, making sure you gave him the tea he wanted.

“And to think that I came to like you, how stupid I am" he was truly frozen in place, “Leave” he didn’t move, “Y/n” you slapped him, “Say my name one more time Laufeyson, I swear I’ll break your jaw” he turned his face to look at you, apologetic, like a sad puppy.

But you couldn’t care less.

“Leave, NOW!” yelling at him did no good, he didn’t left, “Hit me, break my jaw like you said, I’m not moving” he opened his arms to it, so you punched him, a big mistake, his Jotun nature burn your hand, and aggravated the cut the shard of the mug had left on your palm.

“FUCK!” you hissed, “I deserved it” he was damn right, but he stopped self-pitying when he saw blood drip to the floor, “Let me see your hand” because of all the blood you complied, he made you sit on the bed and conjured a first aid kit to tend your wound.

“That’s what I get for punching a god” you hissed again, his bandaging skills sucked, but you had too much of a big heart to tell him. In the end he pressed his cold hand to the wound and your bruised knuckles to numb your hand a little.

“Better?” you nodded, “My hand? Yes, the situation? No” his hands were soft. “I didn’t know it was your favorite” his thumb caressed your hand.

“How could I tell you? You constantly called it cheap stuff or garbage, you made me feel embarrassed of liking something” First time he took into consideration what was happening to you, and since it was his fault, it hurt twice as much. Why hadn't he realized it before?

“I’m sorry” that’s all he could say.

“That’s how you made me feel, Loki” you made emphasis on your feelings, to make him see it, but again all he could say was: “I’m sorry”.

“Have I done something to you?” If you had to come to that conclusion, it was that he had been the worst shit ever. “No, I was an arse, I see that now” you nodded, “A big one”.

He cleaned a tear off your cheek, “How can I make it up to you?” by cupping your face he wanted to draw you closer, but it felt out of place.

“If you dare to buy me a new mug, I’ll burn you alive, Loki, mark my words” If you weren’t serious he would’ve laughed, “I won’t, I promise”, you leaning into his hand brought him a little piece, “Just stop making fun of the things I enjoy”, he built courage to lift his lips to your forehead, “Done”.

A few weeks passed, you reignited your tea routine with Loki, this time without his comments, and a bright new attitude.

“Y/n, fancy a cup of Tea?” he asked popping his head out the kitchen door. “Thank you, but I don’t like that fancy stuff you drink, you know that” he remembered laughing because you called Oolong sock water, he took it very well.

“Vanilla, cinnamon or mint?” he held a brand new box of your favorites, “Cinnamon, thank you”, a minute later he appeared in front of you with his hands behind his back; looked at you with a smile before he handed you a mug, “Here”, one that looked exactly like the one your father gave you.

“Shit, Loki I told you not to buy me a new mug!” three more seconds and you would’ve smashed the ceramics and the hot water on him, “Yes, but you didn’t said I couldn’t make one” you laughed at his statement, it almost brought you up tears.

“Good joke Loki, I’m missing the punchline, or that’s the part where I fall for your lies?” You said, but then Natasha tapped your shoulder, “I wish, but no. He’s telling the truth. He spent days making it and painting it” he made you a mug?.

“It’s ok if you don’t want it, I completely unders-” you took the mug from his hands, put it on the coffee table beside the couch, and seizing he slouched to stare into your eyes, you cupped his cheeks and kissed him.

His lips were soft, perhaps more than his hands, which held your hips against his and then hugged you with everything he had. His kiss became more passionate, your hands ruffled his hair and cupped the back of his head to deepen it.

"Thank you, it means a lot” you blurted out wholeheartedly before he caught your lips again, occasionally biting your bottom lip. “I should make good deeds more often”, you giggled, “Shut it, mischief”.

Tea has a rich history in China extending back hundreds of years. While both legend and archeological exploration demonstrate that tea might have been consumed in China as far back as quite a while back, its status as a well known staple for the two elites and everyday citizens emerged throughout many years. By the seventh century Tang tradition, not with standing, tea had turned into a necessary piece of Chinese life, and specific development techniques, formal arrangements, and social importance had created around tea. Today, China is as yet one of the biggest makers of tea on the planet, creating dark tea, green tea, white tea, oolong tea, pu-erh tea, and that's just the beginning. • Camellia sinensis var. sinensis Camellia sinensis var. sinensis is the varietal of the tea plant most usually filled in China.

top 5 past hyperfixations

okay the music hyperfixations never really go away but i did have a massive jefferson airplane phase that feels like a lifetime ago

harry potter, i got into it very late and it only lasted like a year but i was very obsessed with it for someone who only read/watched it to impress someone they had a crush on

ancient egypt? i've had various mythology phases over the years but egyptian's the oldest one and the one i've sadly not thought much about for some time now

hair the musical/film

okay you may actually be a little old to have read it when it came out but időfutár 😌

top 5 favourite fictional worlds

middle-earth i'm so predictable i'm sorry

the world atla is set in? admittedly it's a bit of a jumbled up mess of different cultures but i love it a lot :')

westeros i suppose? the people are shit and i'd probably end up dead in a ditch after two days but there are some really pretty locations and i'd be lying if i said i wouldn't love to see the dragons!!

a little unspecific, but the studio ghibli world? especially spirited away and howl's moving castle, gotta love the dragons and all the spirits and the cluttered colourful rooms and the endless fields filled with flowers??

and finally i'm not super into marvel anymore but tbh i'd still love to visit asgard! i only got into marvel because i obviously also had a norse mythology phass so despite the obvious differences i fell very much in love when i first watched the thor movies

top 5 favourite types of tea

budapest obviously

eger

What Are the Benefits of Green Tea?

New Post has been published on https://infinitehoroscopes.com/index.php/2019/07/10/what-are-the-benefits-of-green-tea/

What Are the Benefits of Green Tea?

If you follow the latest health benefits, you may have come across a few articles about green tea. Green tea is made from Camellia sinensis leaves. The leaves have not gone through withering like those made in black tea. This tea first came from China. However, the makers of green tea are all over Asia. It is a tea that millions of people drink.

There are many varieties of green tea on the market today. Some are manufactured using nontraditional means to make the tea cheaper. It is best to get the green tea as organic as possible. Green tea is known to have some health benefits. However, research has shown that green tea does not affect your health. Some people have made claims that green tea helped to heal them of some sort of health ailment. However, most people say that green tea has had no real effect on their health.

The Chinese began to drink tea under the leadership of Emperor Shennong. Author Lu Yu wrote a book entitled, “The Classic Tea”. Lu Yu lived and died between the years 618-907 AD. This is one of the most famous books ever written about green tea.

In the year 1211, an author by the name of Eisai. He was a Japanese Buddhist priest that wrote a book entitled, “The Kissa Yojoki”. In this book, the Buddhist priest writes that green tea may influence vital organs. He is also known for bringing green tea to Japan. The book also explains how to grow green tea and his philosophies of the tea.

If you want to make a high-quality green tea, it’s important to brew your tea for short times. The longer green tea is brewed the less quality it will be for you.

Benefits of Green Tea:

Green tea is 99.9% water.

Only one calorie per 100 ml serving.

May aid in mental alertness.

Some people say that it helps aid in weight loss.

Many men and women say that it helps them to prevent cancer. However, this has never been proven in scientific research.

Green tea does interfere with some drugs and you should ask your doctor if its okay to drink green tea if you are on medication.

May Help prevent cardiovascular disease.

May lower fasting blood sugar.

May lower LDL cholesterol in the blood.

Green tea can be grown in the sun or the shade. It is normally grown 3 times a year. Harvest times are often between April and May; June and July; July to August. The best leaves are grown during the first part of spring.

In Asia the leaves are often prepared by:

Sun drying.

Charcoal firing.

Pan firing.

In Western Culture, the Leaves Are Often Prepared Using:

Steaming

Tumbling

Oven Drying

Processed leaves are stored in low humidity temperatures. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, loose leaf green tea has been the most in demand in China. Chinese culture often pans fries the leaves in a wok. In Japan, the leaves are most often steamed. Some general green teas in China include Taiping Houkui, Huangshan Maofeng, Biluochun, Chun Mee and Longjing.

Seeds for tea were first taken to Japan in the ninth century. The seeds were taken to Japan by two monks by the name of Kūkai and Saicho. The Buddhist priest Eisai said that everyone should drink green tea for its health benefits. He was a well-respected monk and people listened to what he said.

The most expensive green tea sold in Japan comes from Uji. It is believed that this is where the seeds were first brought into the country by the Buddhist Priest Eisai. Green tea is the most highly drunk tea in Japan. Usually, only the wealthy people in Japan can afford green tea produced by hand. This is because of the high labor costs that it takes to produce the green tea.

Advantages of Green Tea

Green tea has been used for centuries. It is known to be a tea that is shared by the rich and poor alike. It is known for helping the body to heal from different ailments that arise often in the stomach. It is sometimes used for stomach pains.

Green leaves are dark in color and look like needles. It is produced differently in different cultures. The longer that it takes to prepare the leaves, the better quality you are getting. However, most green tea companies don’t take the time to produce the green tea this way because of the high costs of labor. If you are wealthy, you should try and find a producer that makes their green tea by hand. It costs more, but the quality is much higher.

Health Benefits of Green Tea

Green tea has never been scientifically proven to heal the body. However, it has been used for centuries in China and is believed to have healing benefits. You can look at green tea like chicken noodle soup in western culture. Many people in the United States believe that chicken noodle soup helps to heal a cold. This has never been proven in a scientific study, but widely passed down from generation to generation.

7 Tried and Tested Tips For Brewing Tea Leaves

window.___gcfg = {lang: ”};

(function() { var po = document.createElement(‘script’); po.type = ‘text/javascript’; po.async = true; po.src = ‘https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js’; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s); })();

Planning a traditional tea party? There is nothing more refreshingly healthy than brewing tea out of fragrant and therapeutic tea leaves. Think about a string of health benefits ranging from fighting inflammation, releasing accumulated bodily toxins, lowering risks of heart diseases and stroke, boosting of brain power and, of course, anti-aging. Potent stuff, isn’t it? While there is no right or wrong way of brewing loose tea leaves, adequate care must be allotted to ensure getting the best taste as well as harnessing its potent compounds. Here are some tips for brewing tea leaves known to be tried and tested by tea-making gurus over the years.

Source: fortyredbangles.wordpress.com

1. Always choose organic tea leaves. This virtually means no herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, fungicides, pesticides, sewage sludge, ionizing radiation, GMO or any chemical matter infused to the plant. Keep in mind that even when dried, those tea leaves will still be infused with such hazardous chemicals. So, always pick a USDA certified organic to ensure safety and risk-free drinking. For a green tea lover, here’s a great pick from Amazon: Heavenly Tea Leaves Tea Sampler containing organic Sencha, Chun Mee, China Green and Green Paradise flavors.

2. When you have already chosen your preferred tea leaves, it is also important to consider teapot’s material. Yixing clay pots are touted to be the best teapots in the world for black teas as they can retain heat over longer periods of time. Glass and porcelain, on the other hand, release heat thus, making them great for green or white tea leaves or any tea that doesn’t need heavy extraction. Today, modern teapots or mugs are equipped with tea infusers to help brew tea faster and within its appropriate temperature. Preheating the teapot, however, is still widely practiced in traditional tea-making. This means pouring some boiling water into the pot then, transferring them into the drinking cups to preheat or warm them.

3. Take note of proper water temperature when boiling tea leaves, too. Black or dark Oolong teas as well as Tisanes are best prepared with near-boiling water to ensure harnessing as much oxygen from the water. White, green and light Oolong teas, on one hand, must not be prepared with boiling water. When brewing green tea leaves, always keep in mind that the finer the tea leaves means the lower the temp. Ideally, allowing boiled water to sit for 2 to 3 minutes before pouring into a teapot is highly recommended for “lighter” teas.

4. Steep time must also be observed. Too short or too long can create drastic change to the tea leaves quality and taste. As a rule, the finer tea leaves often infuse faster than bigger ones. The key is to pay attention to the taste rather than to the color. Japanese green teas, for instance, need only to be brewed for 1 to 2 minutes while Chinese green teas require 2 to 3 minutes. Light Oolong teas also take less time to steep than dark ones, and so on.

5. While taste is a personal preference, experts standby certain standards in measuring tea leaves to brew. Ideally, every 6 ounces of water will make do with 3g or one heaping teaspoon of dry tea leaves. However, some tea leaves are lighter in terms of weight than others. Other important aspects to consider during brewing includes infusion time, temperature and equipment used for the process. This chart below will make a good guide in brewing tea leaves:

(Chinese): 2 to 3mins

Black 1 to 2 teaspoons 3 to 5 mins 203-deg F porcelain 3 to 5 mins Oolong (dark) 3 teaspoons 3 mins 203-deg F Yixing clay pot or ceramic 3 to 5 mins Oolong (light) 2 to 3 teaspoons 2 to 3 mins 185-deg F Porcelain or yixing 2 to 3 mins Tisanes 1 to 2 teaspoons 3 mins 210-deg F Glass or porcelain 5 to 10 mins

6. The water you use also means a great deal to brewing tea leaves. Keep in mind that the best tea can only be as good as the type of water of which it is prepared with. Fresh, filtered or bottled spring water is highly recommended for their natural mineral content and higher oxygen level which enhance the tea leaves taste. Do not use distilled or tap water as this will only deliver blah-tasting tea.

7. Proper storage for your tea leaves is a must. Regardless of the price or quality of your tea leaves, its shelf life can only hold in accordance to how you store them. Keep your precious tea leaves away from light, air, and moisture as well as from penetrating odors from other food items. Store it in a cool dry place using an opaque container with airtight lid. Do not refrigerate teas. Do not keep them in glass or plastic jars. Ceramic storage with airtight lid makes a great choice.

Bottom line is tea-making is both an art and a science. These tips for brewing tea leaves literally just touch up on the tip of the iceberg when it comes to making teas that do not only taste heavenly but also smells like paradise, too. Most quality tea leaves often have detailed instructions at the back of their packaging. So take note of them when you brew your tea leaves.
