Now Pour The Tea Novels & Stories

She said looking at the girl who just stand there looking confused. Is there a way to pour tea? Eve asked. "Listen, you place the cup on the saucer with ease, then you hold the kettle by the handle with one hand and the other on the lid. Then you pour slowly." How's that hard? "And make sure you bow your head while doing it and after you're done. Now do it again." she explained. "Now do it again." She did it again and again but still didn't get the woman satisfied. "I told you, bow your head after pouring, don't look up." The woman said in frustration.

Leaning over the tray she swiftly uncorked the bottle. Squeezing a few drops into the teapot with painstaking precision she watched as the liquid moved into the dark tea and vanished seamlessly.

Walked back downstairs barefoot. The hallway light was dim. The kitchen door was cracked open just enough. I pushed it slightly and quietly to tell her. And froze. Delaney stood at the counter. Back to me. She was stirring my tea. slowly and carefully. Then she reached into her pocket. Pulled out a small plastic bottle. Unscrewed the cap. Tipped a few drops into the cup. Stirred again.

Nina thought. Nina stepped towards the kitchen table and brewed two cups of Ceylon tea to be enjoyed after eating, even though she actually didn't eat anything because Aiden ate her portion of instant noodles. "What tea do you brew?" "Ceylon!" "I don't think I bought tea stock yet, did you bring it?" "Because the tea at your house has run out, so earlier I bought it at a convenience store near here.
