September in tea
Summer's end, Keemun's autumn
Uva's season winds down while fine Keemun lots appear from China. Its orchid-and-smoke perfume suits a straight cup at cooling dusk.
How the tea is chosen
This is not a horoscope. Each of the 366 dates simply has one tea assigned to it, and nothing is claimed about your character or your luck. The rule is published, so the same date always gives the same tea. The first two days of every month take the teas our season calendar lists for that month — which is not always a harvest season: sometimes it is a quality season, sometimes a seasonal theme such as Valentine's or Christmas. The calendar's own note is shown alongside so you can tell which. The remaining days draw from the rest of the encyclopedia, offset month by month.
