Although Father Lin wasn't exactly obsessed with tea, he did have some understanding of its taste.
As that sip of tea entered his mouth, Father Lin immediately noticed something amiss; this tea didn't seem like the one he bought yesterday!
Coupled with the slight difference he noticed when packing the tea leaves in the morning, Father Lin's doubts intensified. But he had another suspicion: could the reason be that the tea had cooled down?
Thinking about this, Father Lin got up and walked to the sink, poured out the cup of tea he'd just brewed in the morning, then turned around and, under the bewildered eyes of everyone, reached into the tea bucket in front of Boss Zhuang, grabbed over a dozen tea leaves, and tossed them into his teacup.
This scene made Boss Zhuang couldn't help but grit his teeth; never mind anything else, just the thought of brewing such good tea in a big cup... this was a crime against tea!
