The Tea Date That Changed Everything
His Fateful Order:
✓ 1999 Menghai ripe pu-erh (showed patience)
✓ Asked to smell the dry leaves first (attention to detail)
✓ Insisted on sharing one cup (old-school romance)
My Internal Monologue:
"Who orders fermented tea on a first date?"
"He's either pretentious or the one..."
"Wait—he's pouring for me first?"

Why Tea Beats Dinner Dates
• Silence feels natural (no awkward small talk)
• Observing tea handling reveals true nature
• Sharing one pot builds intimacy faster
At Tea Teapot, we've witnessed countless connections steep over shared cups—because nothing tests compatibility quite like witnessing someone's tea ceremony manners. As my husband says: "We didn't fall in love—we brewed into it, slowly and deeply."
