High Standard Group - Learning Tea Culture
SA: First, warm the teapot. (*SA = Shop Assistant)
ZM: So are the tea leaves inside?
SA: Not for now.
ZM: So we haven't put in the tea leaves~
Henry: We add the water first and then~~~
SA: This is because we're drinking hot tea, we want to taste the fragrance of the hot tea, that's why we need to warm our tea accessories first.
SA: You can take a whiff of these tea leaves, and savor the fresh fragrance it emits.
Henry: We can eat it raw? Are you kidding?
ZM: We really can eat it directly.
Boss: If you can drink it, then you can eat it~!
Henry: I can……swallow it?
Boss: It's alright, you can swallow it later when you've taken some water.
ZM: So what is the taste of the tea leaf?
Henry: It's a bit like……Like I'm eating……
ZM: A type of vege?
Henry: Like I'm eating wild vegetables~!
Boss: But there's a hint of fragrance in it right~?
Henry: Yes~!
Boss: This here represents that it's a bit more……
ZM: A bit more steeped?
Boss: This is very good quality tea……Because these tea leaves were picked from the high mountains, and for our shop to be as established as now, our tea that we serve must be of goof quality.
ZM: There is a difference indeed~~!
SA: Why are you guys so surprised?
Henry: It really is different~!
ZM: Back then when we drank tea, it was just a cup of tea; But now here, the first cup of tea and the second cup of tea really has a difference between them.
SA: Did you guys manage to detect any flavors?
ZM: Henry you say something~! I've said my part just now.
SA: Drink it slowly, only then will you be able to -
ZM: Woah you've finished your tea~!
Henry: Drink it slowly~Sorry~X3
Boss: If you consume the tea too fast you'll forget what you've just drank.
ZM: This guy over here, have you taken this as Cola?
* Henry who has a open and bold attitude seems to be lagging behind his teammate Zhou Mi in the culture of tea tasting, what other kind of problem will he encounter next?
SA: Accordingly~
Henry: Next thing we'll have to do is to open the lid……and pour this in.
SA: You can't do that~! (Because Henry's mixing the tea leaves like a blender~! XD)
Henry: Oh I can't do that?
SA: Do it gently~
Henry: Really? Oh~I need to be slower~
SA: Yes, just spread it out, that should be ok~
Henry: This should be ok?
SA: You didn't spread it out smoothly~
Henry: I'm good right~! (ROFL at his smug smug smug face~! X3)
Henry: And the water goes here~~~~~(Henry-ah, don't play with the water~!)
ZM: The tea should be alright like this right, teacher?
SA: You may pour some out and try.
SA: Put it over there in the middle of the tea.
ZM: Oh yeah~! (> ////// < ")
SA: You need to mix it up properly.
ZM: I forgot~! Thank goodness~! I would have properly embarrassed if I poured it out like that~!
ZM: OOOOHHH IT BURNS~!
ZM: One must pretend to be calm no matter how hot the teapot is right? Ah~~It's not hot at all~
SA: Now that you've had training, you should do fine later.
ZM: Yeah it's really nothing, it's not hot at all.
Henry: Cheers~!
SA: Nobody uses tea to cheer~!
Henry: What? You can't use tea as a toast?
* Zhou Mi & Henry of the High Standard Group after undertaking a class in Tea Culture, member Zhou Mi seemed to have comprehended something from the tea culture~!
ZM: This is so fragrant, can you smell the fragrance seeping out~? It's so fragrant~!
ZM: When you look at this cup tea, you should behold it as though it is your lover, you need to pour out your feelings to it, and sing a song -
(asddjfhdflfjsfkljl~!~~!!!! Mimi's high notes~~~~!!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~!!!❤❤❤❤)
ZM: And you may proceed to drink it.
Henry: Is the feeling any different? By singing like that?
ZM: It feels like I'm flying~Tea is really an indispensable item in our life, really; After singing it seems like more fragrance is coming our of the tea, it tastes more delectable - EH ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME OR NOT~!!!! Are you just that to shush me up?
Henry: I'm really listening to you~!
ZM: Why don't you do it once~!
Henry: What next?
ZM: Next you'll hae to enjoy the fragrance,and say "How fragrant this is~!"
ZM: Do it with feelings~!
- Henry dances to a rhythm only he knows~! CUTE~!
Henry: This tastes so different~
ZM: OMG if I were the customer, I would have been scared off by you~!
