The Secretary's Tea

Tea Masters Biographies (29)

The secretary who was on a business trip returned and arranged for his assistant to invite everyone for tea.

Everyone arrived at the secretary's office around the same time. The secretary was brewing tea, and the assistant was busy fetching water, setting cups, and moving stools, while introducing: "You're in for a treat; the tea is the best ancient tree single-plant tea from Yunnan that the secretary bought."

The secretary saw everyone seated and poured the tea from a Yixing fairness cup into the Yixing tasting cups placed before everyone.

The deputy secretary swallowed it in one gulp and said: "Really fragrant."

The deputy director put down the cup and echoed: "It is indeed fragrant."

The office director savored it with lingering aftertaste and smacked his lips: "Too fragrant; it's the best tea I've ever had."

The clerk Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment: "It tastes like plain water."

The secretary took out the tea cake and pried it while saying: "That was plain water to rinse the cups."

Later, Xiao Wang became the secretary's new assistant.
