Pairing a Poem to a Tea (ft. Plum Deluxe and my Dad)

Big thank you to Plum Deluxe for sending me these delicious four teas! We had a lot of fun coming up with poem and song pairings for each tea. The names of the blends we had today are 'Reading Nook Blend Black Tea', 'Self Care Blend Herbal Tea', 'Magic Butterfly Herbal Tea', and 'Oregon Breakfast Black Tea'. Visit the Plum Deluxe website to learn more at https://www.plumdeluxe.com/ Thank you for listening in! Lyrics for "Beautiful World" (Loose Leaf Tea Version) by Colin Hay: My my my, it's a beautiful world I like swimming in the sea I like to go out beyond the white breakers Where a man can be a man, Or a woman if you are one I like swimming in the sea. My my my, it's a beautiful world I like drinking loose leaf tea An Oregon Breakfast or a Magic Butterfly I wake up early, head out on a drive Out to the country, feeling quite free Yeah, I like making my own tea. My my my, it's a beautiful world I like driving my own car Roll the top down, I travel quite far Enjoy a full moon Chai, stare at the stars I like driving my own car. And still this emptiness persists Perhaps it's as good as it gets When you've given up that coffee and those nasty cigarettes Now I try the Reading Nook Blend... No regrets I watch the sun come up, I watch it as it sets Yeah, it's as good as it gets. My my my, it's a beautiful world I like drinking loose leaf tea A little Self Care Herbal, winding down the day Makes me happy, in certain company For now that's good enough for me Yes, that's surely good enough for me.

Tea Taste Test with My Mom

My mom joined me for this episode of QTP! We tasted teas, ranked them, and got to chat about her life. It was a special time to record with her and I hope you enjoy both of our random banter. Within the episode we drank the following teas: 1. “Sleepy time Herbal Tea” by Celestial Seasons, 2. "Belly Comfort" by Traditional Medicinals, and 3. "Salted Caramel Mate" by STASH. Make sure to follow @queerteapoetry on Instagram to see posts about upcoming episodes, random poetry and tea facts, and more! I had a wonderful time making this episode and am still open to recommendations for what you would like to see on future episodes of QTP. For now, I hope you have a great day and thank you for listening in!

Today's episode is themed around Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra! This beautiful show has made its way into our hearts, and blessed us with quality character development, iconic music, and fantastic animation. I had a blast writing the script for this episode. We will talk about the original tea drinker, Uncle Iroh, then touch upon Korra and Asami's relationSHIP, and end with poetry by air nomad Guru Laghima. I did my best to pull in traditional Japanese music and sound effects. All sounds are from Freesound.org or noncopyrighted music sites. I hope you enjoy the fourth episode of QTP, thank you for listening in!

Matcha, Cousins, and Kate Brown

This episode we'll explore the benefits of matcha powder, listen to my cousins poetry, and dive deeper into queer representation in politics! I'm excited I got to invite my cousin on QTP, and will continue to look for more guests. Sit back, relax, and sip on your favorite tea with me. As always, thank you so much for listening in!

Nonbinary stories and lavender

Today on QTP, I got to share all original pieces of the show! I made the music, tea, poetry, and share a few stories about how I slowly found the LGBTQ+ community. I wanted to be a little greedy and throw everything about me into an episode, that way ya'll can get to know me a bit more. I hope you enjoyed, and don't forget to take a break. Thank you for listening in!
