Wumuti making Wumu-tea 🫖☕️🧖♀️
When you break down Wumuti’s name, it almost reads like
W/u + Mutti (German for mom) —
“With you, Mother” 👩
Even as the star of the show, Wumuti takes the time to make milk tea for the staff with so much care and love❤️
When a Uyghur person prepares milk tea for someone they love,
the gesture sits closer to everyday warmth than the formality of Chinese tea🇨🇳,
more intimate than the social elegance of British black tea🇬🇧,
more emotional than the hospitality of Japanese matcha🇯🇵,
warmer than the casual energy of American coffee🇺🇸,
more deeply tied to family than the homely comfort of Korean corn tea🇰🇷,
and carries a sense of identity even richer than the cultural pride of Italian espresso🇮🇹.
This line by CHVRCHES reminds me of Wumuti:
“The mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling” 🎶💘
