Drink Tea at a Tea House

“But once I started working inside a tea house, my perspective changed. All my life I’ve only worked office jobs. I had never waited tables or worked in retail, and sometimes I felt like I had missed out on that experience when I was younger. Now suddenly I was welcoming guests, guiding them through teas, brewing for them, and talking with strangers. And to my surprise, I loved it. There is something special about a tea house. People who walk through the door already share at least one interest: tea. It becomes a natural way to connect with someone you have never met before. The learning process, however, has been humbling. There have been several moments when I accidentally poured too much boiling water into the pot and burned my fingers but still had to continue pouring as if nothing had happened.”
