TIL: it is possible to integrate and use the awesome dictionary within the Pleco Dictionary app. It is available as free add-on in Pleco’s add-on manager.

@elkmovie Please don’t apologize! Honestly, I don’t know how you manage to do it all.

Is there documentation of 4.0 user dictionaries that you can point me to, please?

@babelcarp @da_beda @tea Not yet, in the works once we've gotten it a bit more finalized.

Happy Tuesday! I hope you're all off to a great start! (And if you're a gamer, happy day two of Next Fest!) :bunhdheart:

I hope you can give yourself an extra break today! Everyone sounds like they're running on fumes and even an extra five minutes to just stare at the sky might be what you need? Take care of yourselves out there! :bunhdlurkaww:

Today's tea is undecided? We're tired, so whoever thinks of a tea plan first wins! What are you brewing up? :blobfoxflooftea:

@MondayMoon Hello. This morning I had a black tea with various flowers and whatnot that I like a lot. This afternoon I had a strong desire for green tea, so got the longjing out.

@tfb Oh, I didn’t know they made bricks!

@tfb@functional.cafe avatar

@babelcarp They did! This one's 15 years old now, and is still very bright and lively, with the citrusy bitterness that I remember from 7561 bricks.

Happy Monday! I hope today goes as well for you as possible, and if it's a tough day that you can add some joy to it coming up! :bunhdheart:

Have a reminder that your joys in life can really be whatever you want them to be! Get the swishy skirt that makes you want to spin all day! Write the most ridiculous fanfiction! Share that joy in the world! Yeah! :bunhdlurkaww:

Today's tea may need to be the Korean milk tea because I feel like it! What are you brewing up? :blobfoxflooftea:

@MondayMoon Hello. Hope your day is going joyfully. Mine is mostly over, thankfully. Been very tired, lots of work. And I've been drinking lapsang to try and keep me moving.

I really like treating first-flush Darjeeling tea like any other oolong

@tea

tfb OP ,
@tfb@functional.cafe avatar

@babelcarp Oh yes, I also enjoy a big pot of tea, and do that with oolongs too.

But I've been enjoying the evolving aromas of this tea today. I managed to get some nuttiness out of it too, in addition to the floral and spice notes.

Happy Thursday! I hope it's a day that you're getting the hang of, or if not that you know where your towel is! I'm rooting for you! :bunhdheart:

And you deserve a gold star today! You do! You're here, you're working through things, that deserves a sticker! Get more than that done today? TWO STICKERS! :blobfoxaww:

Today's tea is undecided? We just got our summer teas and it's so lovely out, but I woke up craving milk tea! What are you brewing up? :blobfoxflooftea:

@MondayMoon Hello. I probably do deserve a gold star, work has been hard. Hope your day goes well.

I've been drinking hojicha today.

For less than 0,11€ per gram, I'm very happy with this tea. A very nice woodiness and camphor, and a surprisingly sweet aftertaste

@tea

A cup of dark red tea and a pot showing the dark leaf

@GelatDeTramussos @tea I bought it from Yee On during one of their sales (which basically covers shipping and import fees)

Emerald Buds green tea in a plunger pot, slightly refined. 7 g dry tea, 500ml 190F/90C water, 2 min first steep, 4 min second steep.

@tea

@babelcarp@social.tchncs.de avatar

@ellestad Do you decant all the liquor after a steep, or do you feel you can count on the plunger to halt extraction?

@tea

ellestad OP ,
@ellestad@sfba.social avatar

@babelcarp After each steep I empty the pitcher of tea and remove the plunger (so it doesn't continue to cook/steam). Really it would be better if the plunger pulled the tea up and out of the liquid instead of pushing it down. @tea

@da_beda That golden liquor hue looks like aging to me.

@tea

da_beda OP ,
@da_beda@mstdn.social avatar

@babelcarp @tea

Yes, the tea has aged little. However, it is a blend that already contained aged maocha at the time of released.
