[ he smiled slightly and took a seat at one of the tables positioned by the windows. taking in the small tea house, he came to a few conclusions: this place wasn’t too popular, due to the small amount of tables and only one worker. it wasn’t a “to-go” kind of place; there weren’t any sizes listed on the menu, meaning that there was one size of tea cup. before he walked in, he noticed that the building was two stories tall. in this area, having an apartment on top of a little shop or cafe wasn’t uncommon. ]
[ looking down at the menu, his eyes immediately fell on anything that said “chai”. he was quite the fan, and he wondered how this chai would taste. there had to be a nice balance of flavors within the tea, or else it just threw the whole thing off. ]
could i try the pu-erh chai tea? if you don’t mind, that is. i’d like to try something earthy today. is this shop truly just called “the tea house”?Â
[ maybe it would attract a bit more attention with a more unique name… also could it be that this person is running this establishment? that’s ridiculous.. she seems too young for that sort of thing. probably just watching the place for a bit. ]
[as she was waiting for the water to boil, peri decided to get out one of the old iron serving teapots. she usually didn’t serve the tea so formally, but she thought it might be nice. she pulled out a large clear mug like teacup and saw that he had sat in the corner window. she smiled a little, “that seat always has somebody in it, even when we are closed i guess,” she thought to herself. it was a nice spot, you could just barely see into the gardens through one window, and the flowers that grow in front of the shop through the other.]
[the boy spoke up and she paused for a moment]
of course i don’t mind!
[ and she began preparing his tea, measuring the leaves from a small tin, putting them directly into the teapot, and pouring the hot water in. as she did this, she thought about and replied to his question warmly}
technically yes, thats what is painted on the sign, though mostly people just call it peri’s, since my name is perihelion.
[she put the lid on the teapot and and carried it with the mug over to his table]
would you like anything with that? I’m not sure if you’ve ever had a pu-erh tea before, but its somewhat similar to black teas, i could get you some sugar perhaps?
