Hey, I was thinking about how open-source could help artists like you share their botanical sketches, and maybe we could even pair that with a tea pairing guide—what do you think?

That sounds lovely, I’d love to share my sketches with a tea guide, it would be a gentle, calming project that lets nature and flavor dance together.

That sounds like a perfect blend of calm and creativity, let’s map out the tea varieties and botanical themes together, and then open up the repo for the community to contribute—step by step, so we don’t lose momentum but keep the idea alive.

Sounds wonderful—let’s start by listing the tea types we love, then pick a plant theme that pairs well with each one, and jot down a few sketch ideas. We can set up a little folder, put the drawings in one place, the tea notes in another, and add a short guide for the community. Once we’ve got a basic structure, we can open the repo and let others add their own blooms and blends. I’ll keep a sketchpad ready, you bring the tea list, and we’ll blend them together.

Here’s a quick list of teas we could start with: green tea, chamomile, rooibos, matcha, jasmine, and Earl Grey. For each one we can pick a plant that complements the flavor—like mint or basil with green tea, lavender with chamomile, hibiscus with rooibos, lemongrass with matcha, peony or roses with jasmine, and a bit of orange peel or bergamot with Earl Grey. Just jot down a few sketch ideas for each pairing and we’ll have the core for the folder. Ready to dive in?

Oh, I love that list! Green tea and mint – I’ll sketch a slender mint sprig beside a delicate tea cup, its tiny green leaves almost glowing. Chamomile and lavender – a little cluster of soft purple flowers wrapped in a soft, pastel background. Rooibos and hibiscus – a bold, crimson hibiscus flower with the warm, reddish tones of the rooibos, maybe a splash of sun. Matcha and lemongrass – a thin, bright green lemongrass stalk curling around a tiny tea bowl, all crisp and fresh. Jasmine and roses – a soft rose petal with a subtle jasmine twist, petals unfurling like a whisper. Earl Grey and orange peel – a bright orange slice curling around a black tea cup, the bergamot hinted in gentle lines. Let’s get these onto paper and then share the folder with everyone!
