Everyone’s attention shifted curiously to Melody. After all, most people today know little about tea culture, let alone tea tasting.
It was rare to see a young woman speaking so cloquently about it.
Melody looked at Old Mr. Jenson. In her research, she had read many of his books on tea.
As a leading figure in a century–old cultural family, his teachings and insights had been incredibly valuable
to her.
She held a great deal of respect for him.
Standing up, she nodded respectfully. “Old Mr. Jenson, you flatter me. I’ve merely studied some records of tea culture in ancient texts.
“As for who I learned from, I dare to ask, I have read all three of your ‘Tea Collection and Appreciation‘ trilogy and learned tea art knowledge from it. Can I be considered your disciple?”
Her tone was poised, calm, and respectful–just the right amount of modesty and deference a junior should show to a master.
Amanda’s expression twisted in frustration.
Melody had the audacity to extend an olive branch to her grandfather.
Amanda had been personally taught by him, and Melody thought she could stand on the same level just by reading a few books?
Old Mr. Jenson, who had initially been looking to defend his granddaughter, was momentarily taken
aback.
He glanced at Melody’s composed demeanor and found himself liking her more than before.
Not only had she read his proudest, though least popular, work, “Tea Collection and Appreciation“, but she had completed all three volumes!
Those books were long, and filled with dense, specialized content. Even when Amanda had been forced to study them, she could not make it through one.
Yet, Melody had read them all–and seemed to have actually learned something.
Old Mr. Jenson’s stern expression softened, and he smiled at Melody. “Hehe, of course it counts!
“Books are merely carriers. The fact that you’ve appreciated ‘Tea Collection and Appreciation‘ shows you have real insight.
“In that case, it will be quite interesting to watch you compete with my granddaughter, who has learned tea

Sensing the excitement, Truman stepped in to join Old Mr. Jenson as a judge,
“For fairness, I’ll provide identical tea sets for both participants,” he announced.
Soon, Melody and Amanda sat facing each other, the ten sets laid out before them.

Truman handed Melody a list of precious teas from which she could choose, while Amanda, with her grandfather present, had access to the finest teas as well.
Amanda glanced at Melody before confidently selecting Mountain Green. This tea, grown in the misty mountains of the Mount Charm area in Darlingville, is celebrated for its rich, uplifting aroma and mellow, refreshing taste.
The conditions for harvesting are so particular that only the best batches command sky–high prices.
Moreover, there is a noticeable distinction between old and new tea, making Mountain Green a prized choice.
When it was presented, everyone could see it was extraordinary–truly the best of the new teas.
she “Amanda’s tea choice shows her expertise. The ‘newness of the tea is critical, and clearly knows what she’s doing,” one onlooker remarked.
“There’s hardly any tea left from Mount Charm in recent years. It’s no surprise that Old Mr. Jenson has such a rare treasure—his reputation as the tea master of the capital is well deserved.”
“I’m curious to see what Melody will pick from the Moore family’s collection of rare teas,” another commented.
“Choosing tea is tricky for amateurs. Whether Melody is bluffing with her knowledge of tea culture will be revealed by her selection,” someone else added.
Melody scanned the tea list and settled on Dragon Pearl.
This tea, with its green, tender leaves resembling delicate bamboo shoots, is known for its subtle, revolving aroma and crisp, refreshing taste.
Unlike Mountain Green, it’s difficult to tell new from old Dragon Pearl, and it was not as rare.
Tea enthusiasts in Riverport and Moon Bay often brew it, but compared to the richness of Mountain Green, its flavor was much lighter.
“Although it is also a fine tea, it is not as expensive, rare, or rich in aroma as the one chosen by Amanda…
The room grew tense.
“The Dragon Pearl isn’t as distinctive in freshness–Melody might be making a misstep here,” one professor whispered.
“A random tea, huh?”
“Amanda really knows how to pick a great one. As for Melody, it seems like she’s just here to cause trouble. If she can’t even choose the right tea, she might as well admit defeat early.”

“I actually think Dragon Pearl isn’t so bad. Sure, the top–grade Mountain Green is rare and expensive, but Dragon Pearl from the Suezville and Houghton mountainsides is something everyone can appreciate.
“Is there really that much of a difference in quality?”
Truman glanced around, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Melody. “The tea Mel chose is also
new!
“She trusts me, and while Dragon Pearl is tricky to select, everything I’ve brought today is the latest tribute tea. Its quality is in no way inferior to Mountain Green
