green tea

Description

Green tea is a simple magical brew that lets you buy a sense of healthiness by steeping leaves in hot water. Regardless of actual benefits, it shines as a万能アイテム for sprucing up meetings and casual chats alike. Place a teapot on the table and watch people suddenly turn into sages lecturing on brewing techniques—debates hotter than the caffeine they contain. The subtle astringency of the leaves serves as a rehearsal for appreciating life’s bitter moments. Every sip grants the illusion of a health boost, only to lead you on a deepening dialogue with the restroom.
