Mrs. Su, the other superwoman of tea, was in good spirits today. All 3 sons are now in college, and my annual gifts of chocolate are yet still welcome, a ritual I have had since the youngest son was 8 years old. There is no harvest just yet, and she managed to find some previous year’s Royal Courtesan. A very small amount for some die hard customers. I can’t taste nor smell anything this time, having had a severe cold. But I trust her.
After consecutive 3-4 years of looking finally I found the seeds she wanted- to grow the village’s biggest cabbage, bigger than some other woman in the village who has been bragging about her cabbage. I know that other woman couldn’t compete on the tea. And I wanted Mrs Su to win. After all these years of her taking care of our Tung Ting and Charcoal Roasted Oolongs, it is a small favor to return!
