I had tea with Kevin Harper
Kevin puts in and maintains a lot of the sound systems on the Summerfest grounds during festival season. We talked about Milwaukee and Dallas ( where he recently moved ). In addition to teching all the festival PAs, Kevin recently got to work with North West for her first Chicago show.
I started out with Baozhong, but Kevin wanted something harder so I switched up to ripe puer and some roasted oolong.

This is a buriedspell appreciation post πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ
Buriedspell hand makes almost all the tea cups I use at the teahouse. She's based in Wisconsin and specializes in creature designs.
I've used a lot of tea cups, and these are all S Tier, πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ to ♾️ cups. The earthy animal designs are all fantastic, but the cups truly shine when you pick one up and feel the weight and balance of the cup. Each cup also has a sensory friendly notch in it ( or what I would call an autism test; I passed BTW, duh πŸ˜… ).
I've had her make 3 custom cups for people who wanted their own after experiencing the cups at the teahouse.
She also made me a black cat figurine for my altar. The black cat is the only unfixed piece on the altar and I moved it everyday after I fill the altar cups with water πŸˆβ€β¬›
Buriedspell has an online store on her IG and you can find her in person at various events around Wisconsin.
Thanks for being awesome Buriedspell 🫢

barrelomonkeysmke arrived at the teahouse -
an artist collective made up of recent MIAD graduates.
In the tearoom the Monkeys were sandwiched between 2 large art pieces of 2 other MIAD graduates - the 45 piece by Todd Rau who graduated in 1991 and the Pink Octopus by Jeremy Pettis who graduated in the mid 2000s.
We talked about collectives and art. I told them about the artist collective I started ( Meltwater Pulse Co. ). I had the Monkeys go around the room and describe to me another member's art, medium and vibe.
The other photos in this post are from each of the Monkeys from left to right:
2. Anna Barr
3. Sydney Short
4. Melany
5. elliot
6. jayne
7. caesar n
We drank raw and ripe puer and high mountain teas.
Because it was one of the largest groups I've hosted so far, I busted out my largest teapot that my friend Eddie brought me from Taiwan.
The Monkeys didn't even know that this teapot, which traveled all the way from Taiwan, the teapot I poured tea from all day was from yet another MIAD student from the 90s.

I had Anne Putra over for tea.
Anne owns Being Acupuncture & Wellness in Riverwest.
We talked about Chinese medicine, Tai Chi, Daoism, Qi Gong, films and AI. She brought along her son who also had tea.
She was interested in the Gongfucha style of tea I do, so I pulled out a few different kinds of tea including one of my favorites - a 2002 raw puer.
Her son's favorite tea was ripe puer.

Chris ( Chris Bryhan ) and June ( June L Park Art ) were in town for a wedding and stopped by for tea.
We had a long talk about Tai Chi and weddings and neurodivergency.
FUN TEA STORY:
Chris studies under the same Tai Chi Grandmaster as me - Master Wang ( Master Henry Wang ). I used to stop at Chris' house when he lived in Seattle before heading over to Vancouver Island for M Wang's week long summer Tai Chi camp.
In 2012, we stopped at Floating Leaves to buy some tea before heading to camp. Shiuwen at Floating Leaves served us a few different types of tea, but Chris settled on Buddha Hand. When we were at camp M Wang liked the tea also.
Since 2012, I've been trying to find Buddha Hand again. Floating Leaves only had it in stock one more time - in 2016 and it wasn't the same tea. I also found a version from Taiwan Sourcing, which was also good, but it was also not the same.
In spring of this year, I found that Mountain Stream Tea was selling a batch of 2010s Buddha Hand that was found somewhere in Taiwan. I ended up getting it in July of this year ( one month before Chris got into town ). This was the exact same tea we had in 2012.
14 years later, I was finally able to find this tea and share it with the person that introduced me to it πŸ’šπŸ΅

On the left is my Taiji / Daoism teacher, Black Horse Tai Chi / Casey Abbott Payne who was in Milwaukee briefly from Taiwan.Β 
On the right is Teju the Storyteller.
We had a great discussion which spanned topics from martial arts to revolutionary arts and history.
Teju, true to his moniker, regaled us with great stories about his trips to Africa tracing his ancestry, eating razor blades, dodging raindrops and how he came to wear all white.
We drank Taiwanese High Mountain Oolong.

Looking at the tea cabinet I liked the duality of the 2 Shanes.
I felt compelled to take a photo.
It was only after I took the photo I noticed the Tiger in one Shane and the Dragon in the other Shane - duality inside duality.Β 
The universe is always moving in such a way - recursive rippling.Β 
The universe with 100 trillion eyes,
how can 2 eyes even begin to compare?
If I am missing one hair, I am not the same.

Today Eddie Kaye and his wife Mika and brother Andre stopped by for tea.
Ed owns 2 English schools in Taiwan. We talked about Tai Chi and AI and art and, of course, tea.
I got some great compliments on my tea making abilities ( gongfucha ) which is really something coming from people who live in Taiwan. Taiwan is home to a lot of the world's greatest, cleanest teas.
It was later in the day, so I just kept it simple with Taiwanese Baozhong. I'm really learning to get something special from the tea using the cast iron tetsubin I recently picked up. It's totally different mechanics with some extra steps, but I'm slowly smoothing out the process. The tea comes out even better than with an electric kettle πŸ’šπŸ΅

Constantly refining the process 🍡
I picked up a very special vintage ( 1960s? ) cast iron Japanese tetsubin from .
Now when you have tea here you get an experience incorporating all 5 elements - Water, Fire, Metal, Earth, Wood.
Corpses don't stink in the mountains
there's no need to bury them deep
I might not have the fire of samadhi
but enough wood to end this family line.

Rain soaks my hut then the sun shines
weather can change in the blink of an eye
but not as fast as the breath of existence
at dusk it's hard to hear the morning bell
