Last October I collected autumn leaves in Plänterwald and mounted them at home. Now one lear later I wanted to return the leaves to the same forest to be digested back into the planet naturally. I brewed an oolong tea to celebrate the occasion.

An exhibition of leaves in my flat in Berlin.
First, a variety of autumn leaves collected from Plänterwald. Preserved in layers of heavy canvas to help keep shape, but without crushing them.
Second, fronds from my balcony fern. I managed to save just a few before turning completely brown.

These were from my yunnan cake. After they dried overnight I noticed the leaves remained quit hairy! I stepped them again and it produced a very dark color with a light flavor.
