Green Tea



I like green tea.

While other people stiffen their sinews with something stronger, I merely demand green tea.

How am I addicted to green tea?

When I was a little child, my neighbour Mr old uncle Lin always made a pot of China tea on his dinning table, which was at the corridor, and treating me with enthusiasm. Whenever I was passing by his dinning table, he always stopped me for a cup of tea. He really looked happy when I appreciated his tea.

And soon I developed my own liking of tea - Green Tea.

I have imbued green tea with almost mystical curative and comforting qualities. In moment of crisis, as a remedy for shock; in rushing of my work or study, as a relief for pressure.
