Crimson Lotus Tea

08/20/2026

This is the Holy Quaternity of tea cups for us. Each offers something special to the experience. Each will create unique changes to the tea. Porcelain is very neutral and lets the tea speak for itself. Silver enhances the tea. It sharpens it. It takes everything up to 11. Jianzhan has a high iron content in the glaze and this smooths and mellows and richens a tea. Unglazed clay can do a lot as well for rounding out a tea and adding body.
How many have you tried? Which is your favorite for tea?

Midnight rain ripples through the neon neverdark of the endless city streets. Human creativity is licensed and regulated by greedy corpos. You are a mindless cog in the machine. You exist to serve.

They call her the Muse. Sleek and mysterious with a black nanosilk bodysuit. She comes when you need her the most. She stares at you with natural eyes. Her hair the color of sky; or so you’ve been told. She offers a silent invitation. Unspoken. A large tea bowl predating the collapse of the old net appears in hands. The dark tea within creates a steam of codethought that dances in the still air.

You accept. The drink hammers into your central processor like a virus; the constant static in your mind is replaced with calm nothingness. When was the last time you knew quiet and peace? The nothing slowly takes form. You remember the name for colors long forgotten. Unknown words begin to take shape. Impossible ideas burn behind your cybernetic eyes. Quicker than you can comprehend your core code is being rewritten line by line. It begins to run at a pace you can’t comprehend. You are breaking free of the system. You’re becoming dangerous.

She is gone and you never saw her leave. Her freedom code remains in every cell of your being. Your terminal flashes the message: “FREE YOUR MIND. FIND THE OTHERS. SHARE THE TEA!”

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

For us we find a great deal of creative inspiration in these teas. When we have a creative block we will brew up a heavy session with these teas and sit with them for hours scribbling down anything that comes into our head. Oftentimes we are given exactly what we need. Our hope is that the creativity in these teas will help you when you need it. Sit down with this tea. Brew it strong. Spend time with it. Listen to what it has to say.

Is this the biggest cake of tea you’ve ever seen? We will be auctioning off samples of this cake tonight on Whatnot! We’ve had this cake in Seattle storage for more than a decade. We don’t know anything about it. It clearly has some age to it.

The neifei says it is from the Mengku Shen Nong Tea Company. It then says it is 1,000yo old tree material from Mengku Big Snow Mountain. That’s all we know. We don’t know when it was pressed.

Join us tonight on Whatnot as we drink this tea and sell some samples from it. Use this link to get $15 to spend after you create an account.
