I just wanted to share the name of a potter that I love from Bristol, England named Victor Harris. His studio is called ErinStudioCeramics and he has an Etsy page with his bowls for sale. His was one of the very first Chawan that I paid actual money for (as in it wasn’t just a cereal bowl) but his items are so worth it.

One of the more interesting components in green tea is GABA. Gamma-Amino Butyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It inhibits nerve transmission in the brain, calming nervous activity. GABA is one of the most abundant neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, especially in the cerebral cortex, which is where cognition is thought to take place and sensations are interpreted. GABA functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. This means that it blocks nerve impulses. Without GABA, nerve cells will fire too often and too easily.
