My new favorite tea

Getting back to basics! Sometimes there’s nothing more uplifting than a basic, black China tea with its wonderful bitterness.

But our poor friend persisted, kept drinking it, kept experimenting with the infusion, and eventually maybe someone in his village eventually agreed with him and was like “Hmm. This is interesting. This is really interesting…”
