After work drink #tea
@emdeesee that's some kind of herbal shave soap right?
@emdeesee oooo did u make yourself? Can never manage to make it foamy!
@applecandy @emdeesee For me, the trick is to only fill half the cup with water which allows for more vigorous whisking. I used to have cups full of tea and then splash tea all over the place. Not any more. 🍵
@kensanata @applecandy A reason I felt compelled to take a picture was the nice foam.
And I don't use much water either -- 60-70 ml probably?
@emdeesee @kensanata yes that was a nice foam!
@kensanata @emdeesee how many teaspoons you put in it with half cup of water?
It might be didnt put enuff powder and too much water.
@applecandy @kensanata I use two heaping scoops using the bamboo scoop thingy. I haven't measured more closely than that.
@emdeesee @kensanata those scoops are tiny so thought I was doing something wrong. Must be too much water or not whipping it enuff hard!
@emdeesee That’s a pretty photo, but is there a reason you aren’t using the whisk holder this way?
@babelcarp Oh, no reason; that's just how I happened to put the chasen down, and it made a nice picture. (I know, I'll never perform a proper tea ceremony this way! 😁)
When I put everything away, the chasen was properly engaged with the stand.
@emdeesee Ah, good. I hope i didn’t come across as a knowitall—I was just afraid your chasen would die before its time.
@emdeesee tempted to go make a bowl now
