All About Tea, Wednesday
Jon looked rough today, like he was barely holding it together. Which, to be fair, he was. But he was doing his best, here. His shirt was extra crisp and his trousers were (mostly) pressed to try to make up for it.
He waited until the students were there. Then another minute until he belatedly realised it. He rubbed his eyes and nodded.
"There is...water. Water is important to tea," he began. "It's important to have good water a...and to, um, use it properly." He waved at the bottle he had with him. "Purified water is the best. You don't want other things in your water. And...and pH is important, too. You don't want acidic or basic water, just...um...water."
Water was good.
"I made some tea with different waters. So we can taste them." He brought up thermoses. "There's...this one is the purified water, and this is tap water, and this is...this one is mineral water. Because...because I thought it was best to have three. They all use the same tea. Black tea. So...so let's taste them and see if you can taste the difference."
He thought for a second, then nodded again, pleased to have gotten through it.
