Chapter 194 Disappearing Froth
Amanda paused, stopping her movement as she presented her pure white tea to everyone.

Ignoring Melody’s unconventional technique, Old Mr. Jenson focused on Amanda’s work, stroking his beard with approval.
“In a tea competition, we judge the color and the float!
“The best tea color is pure white, followed by clear white, then grayish white, with golden being the least desirable.
“Amanda’s tea is milky white, a top–tier color. It seems my years of teaching her weren’t wasted.”
Pride gleamed in his eyes as he glanced at Melody, now more scrutinizing.
When he caught Truman’s gaze, his smile deepened as if to say, The Moore family, rooted in martial arts, shouldn’t try to compete with the scholarly Jensons.
The tension between the two families seemed palpable. After all, even Truman’s second wife, Melanie, came from an intellectual family–a clear attempt to bridge the gap between the martial and scholarly worlds.
However, the divide was significant and not easily crossed.
Truman’s face darkened, and at that moment, he wished he could throw the Jensons out.
However, soon murmurs from the crowd watching Melody’s tea pouring broke the silence.
‘She’s still pouring water, but her tea color is milky white too!”
“The tea she picked is known for its light flavor, yet the aroma is getting stronger as the color deepens. How is she doing that?”
Melody sat calmly at the tea table, completely unfazed by the murmurs around her, pouring tea in her own steady rhythm,
With the sixth pour, she checked the tea’s consistency and gently circled the surface with her tea brush.
The fragrance intensified, drawing sighs of admiration from the audience, who now longed to taste it.
On the seventh pour, a white froth formed, clinging to the cup like snow.
Truman, visibly excited, stood up and exclaimed, “The tea soup has ‘bitten the cup!‘
“I thought Mel’s method seemed unusual, but every step has highlighted the tea’s color perfectly.”
“Even though it’s a lighter tea, the aroma is becoming more refined and pure.”

her tea’s aroma more vibrant.
“Mel’s tea–pouring technique is like a silver dragon spitting fire! Her movements may have seemed odd, but they have their own precise rhythm!“.
“Looking at the result, Melody’s tea froth clung tightly to the cup, with no sign of loosening. It seems she truly knows what she’s doing.”
Melody glanced at Amanda, her light eyes sweeping over the pure white tea. Then her gaze drifted toward the lake outside, and with a slight smile on her pink lips, she calmly said, “Ms. Jenson, your tea froth bites the cup well.
“But it’ll loosen in three seconds.”
The statement was bold–too bold.
Amanda’s expression darkened, and even Old Mr. Jenson’s face turned cold.
“Young lady, are you questioning our family’s mastery of tea pouring?” he said in frustration.
“Melody, what gives you the right to make such a brash judgment?” Amanda added, her eyes fixed on her pristine tea, confident in her skill.
She knew a great deal about tea pouring; Melody’s earlier chaotic steps now seemed like a deliberate act to catch her off guard.
However, Melody did not reply. She silently counted to herself: one, two, three!
Then, with a playful smile, she snapped her fingers and said, “Because I can beat you in every way.”
At that moment, a gust of wind blew in from the lake, sweeping into the garden.
Amanda, standing closest to the door, instinctively moved to shield her tea, but it was too late.
The wind swept past, and in an instant, the froth on her tea vanished.
Both Amanda and Old Mr. Jenson were stunned. “What… It’s gone?”
Amanda, in disbelief, turned to Melody.
“It’s you! You used some sneaky trick to make my froth disappear first!”
In a tea competition, both color and froth are key.
While the color was evenly matched in their case, the froth-“biting the cup” like milk mist–is what mattered.
The one whose froth clings longest wins.
Now, Amanda’s froth had completely dispersed, while Melody’s tea sat as still as ever, white as snow.
She won!
Truman, both surprised and proud, raised his chin smugly. “Well, well. The Jensons may be a scholarly

family, but it looks like my Mel just outdid them.
“What a shame, huh?”
The crowd could not help but think, Truman, could you be any more triumphant?
Meanwhile, Amanda and Old Mr. Jenson were left staring in disbelief, their faces pale with shock.
