How to brew the berry-horned.
One heaped teaspoon per cup. Water just below the boil, around 90 degrees, keeps the oolong half smooth. Steep three minutes.
A teaspoon per cup and one extra for the pot. Lid on, let it sit, pour the lot before it stews.
The unhurried way. Let the leaves settle as it cools and sip once the steam softens.
Afterwards, the leaves go to the garden, not the bin.
Every entry leaves a print.
Each creature began as an ink drawing before it named a blend. The original illustrations are printed as standalone pieces at $5.95. Pair the print with its blend, or start the collection.
