Soon, the tea mistress began boiling water again to make tea.
Once she was done, she said politely to Nathan, “I have prepared a new pot of the Golden Tips, sir. Please enjoy it.”
She seemed to have forgotten that the people who wanted the pot of tea were Warren and Agnes after she was humiliated by Nathan.
Warren was displeased and was about to say something but Nathan ordered coldly, “Make it again."
Make it again?
The tea mistress wasn't the only one who was shocked by that.
Both Warren and Agnes were shocked as well.
Even Penny, Kylie and Colin were dumbfounded.
Kiel, who was at the neighboring table, along with the other customers exchanged looks with each other. What's the problem this time?
The tea mistress was obviously upset as she kept her gaze on Nathan. “Sir, I've already changed the water to the best spring water there is to make the tea. Why are you asking me to make it again? You're just here to mess around, aren't your
Everyone was staring at Nathan while Warren and Agnes looked at him in confusion.
The corners of his lips tilted upwards as he said, “You have only changed the water. But how about the tea leaves? Did you really use the Golden Tips tea leaves?”
The woman shuddered at his words and stared in him in utter disbelief.
The Golden Tips tea leaves used by the Djarling Tea House weren't authentic ones but the ones that had been through lots of transplants and mass-produced.
Ordinary people who drank the tea weren't able to tell that it wasn't authentic. Besides, there wasn't anything people could do if those who sold the leaves insisted that they were Golden Tips, even though the leaves were cultivated through multiple transplants.
In this case, only tea connoisseurs were able to tell the difference.
The tea mistress stared at Nathan in shock when she realized that she met someone really knowledgeable in tea ceremonies.
He said indifferently, “Why don't you go and change the tea leaves and make the tea again?” “Alright! I'll go now.”
She dared not say anything else and left hurriedly.
