Trees help us with activating our ancestral memory. Touch them, talk to them, listen to them and remember. It makes so much sense that the Taino chief Kalaan uses trees to guide ones in mushroom ceremonies hosted by @earthandthefullness btw ✨ In my two experiences with this plant I met with my ancestors. Nature….life is amazing. Watch how mi pose up pan di tree like is a Benz…as I should…She’s majestic! I swear I just saw this same tree in a documentary on west Africa but this pic was taken in 2013 by mystic mountain in Ocho Rios. #trees #bigtrees #ancienttrees #ancientmemories #ancestralmemories #ancestralplane #ancestralconnection #ancestralroots #ancestors #roots #majestictrees #treetrunks (at Jamaica) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-jIa8uKyp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ms. Pakanli Kohlaha (Flower of the Magnolia, Choctaw) once again flourishes her shining golden crest, as she and her ancestors have done upon these lands every Ama Ganugogv (Springtime, Cherokee), for 15 thousand years. Shine on, Waabigwani-Giizis (Flower Moon, Ojibwe). ♡♡♡ #magnolia #ancienttrees #indigenous #treeflowers #flowersinurbia #flowers #floral #flora #fleur #nature #fleuriste #fleuris #naturelovers #naturephotography (at Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdlt0mDL6Ci/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These gnarled and twisted ancient bristlecone pines have been sculpted by 1000’s of years of growing at high altitudes in the White Mountains exposed to wind, cold and drought. #ancientbristleconepineforest #bristleconepine #ancienttrees #ancientknowledge #humbled #honored #grateful @josephbrooksjewelry (at Ancient Bristlecone Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdLjje0L6Hx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dollars vs. Puerh

For those of you who may be a bit more experience with buying Puerh, you have no doubt come across terms like “budget tea” or “everyday drinker tea” amongst many variations. These terms are based around non-expensive teas that are affordable for people on a budget. The teas are also often described as being a good value for your dollar, or good enough to scratch the itch. In other words teas that are good enough to want to drink daily, that don’t cost a lot, but that are also not as good or as great of quality as a cake that would cost says between $80-$200.

And so when it comes to Puerh that care labeled as “Old Arbor”, “Gushu” or “Ancient Tree” you very rarely see any of the above terms included in their descriptions. This is because these teas are “supposedly” made from very rare and expensive material that comes from old tea trees/ plants. I say “supposedly” because until you’ve tasted it, and have they experience to know the difference, we don’t actually know how true this is. Is it could be, but we are also at the mercy of the information given by the vendor, but I’ll dig into that another day.

My personal opinion on this is that all tea should be an everyday drinker, and everyday drinker tea should be just as good as the uber expensive teas. After all who wants to buy all these tasty teas and not be able to enjoy them as often as they want? I can understand having maybe 1 or 2 cakes that you drink on occasion because they are expensive, but for the most part your tea should always be delicious, high quality and affordable. But when it comes to these high cost teas, shouldn’t the taste of them reflect the price??? Good question!

I wanted an answer, and so to get it I did 2 blind taste tests. One with myself alone and then a second one with 3 friends. For these blind tastings I bought 4 sample sizes of Raw Puerh from White2Tea. The teas ranged in price from “Budget” to “Medium Expensive” to “Upper Expensive” to “Broke the Bank”. Each teas was blind tasted side by side, with no information besides what I was tasting. This same method was followed with 3 friends all of whom have little to no experience with Puerh. The outcome being how many of us would pick the more expensive teas simply based around taste.

The 4 teas tasted in order of price range lowest to highest were: (Canadian $)

- 2021 Hotline Space Coyote ($6.81 per sample or $43.25 per cake)

- 2021 680 ($13.17 per sample or $87.78 per cake)

- 2021 The Thing Is ($21.63 per sample or $147.57 per cake

- 2021 Is a Gift ($45.80 per sample or $316.77 per cake)

Now let me just say that all of them were very good but all for different reasons. I have so many tasting notes that I won’t include them with this post but maybe at a later date I’ll do a more detailed on. But as for results for the tasting I did on my own I very much preferred the “Budget” and “Medium Expensive” teas over the higher priced ones. 680 was my favorite of the 4, so much so that I will be buying a full cake in the future.

The results for the group tasting very different. 1 of the 3 favored the “Budget” tea over all others while the other 2 both favored the higher priced teas. So that’s 4 tasters, all with 3 different results. What does this mean? It means exactly what I thought going into the experiment which is that while price may reflect the material used to make the teas, it in no way reflects taste, and therefore a high price does not mean the teas will be good or bad. Ultimately taste is up to the drinker or the individual. And so what I think you should take from this as either a beginner, intermediate or well experience Puerh drinker is that should pay little attention to price and more to your gut.

Judge based on not only the price, but also the look of the tea, the description, reviews, and if you want to jump in that deep, where the tea was harvested and stored. But ultimately don’t avoid buying a Puerh because it’s classed as “Budget” and don’t buy because it’s expensive “Gushu”.

In the quiet churchyard of Fortingall, Perthshire, Scotland, stands a living testament to the passage of time – the Fortingall Yew. Estimated to be between 3,000 to 5,000 years old, this ancient tree is not just a biological wonder but a storied guardian of history, myths, and the evolution of the landscape around…

Filming The King’s Spy Oak for ITV News

What an absolute privilege it was for me to finally ‘meet with’ the 700-year-old King’s Spy Oak at Caversham, Reading, on Wednesday. This irreplaceable, ancient oak is threatened with felling by a ludicrous housing development scheme (Go to Reading Council Planning Portal and enter 221909). 

At the great oak I was met by local campaigner Jennifer Leach, along with ITV Meridian’s presenter Mel Bloor and camerawoman Steph. Both Jennifer and myself were interviewed for the news piece, which will hopefully be aired on ITV Meridan News today (Friday 12th May 2023).  The Woodland Trust’s Jack Taylor gave a Zoom interview for the piece.

The King’s Spy Oak

There have been numerous objections to the planned housing development. Sterling work from local campaigners including the READING TREE WARDENS have raised the plight of this internationally significant ancient oak.

ITV Meridian’s presenter Mel Bloor filming her news report at the King’s Spy Oak Rob said ‘This tree must be saved. If the proposed felling goes ahead, then we might as well give up!’ 

and continued by saying... ‘There is an urgent need for proper new laws to protect our truly ancient gems like the King’s Spy Oak.’ Please do head along to the Woodland Trust’s site and sign their -  Click here to sign>> -  ‘LIVING LEGENDS’ petition asking for just such a law from all UK governments.
