It is funny. Some prefer sweet things as a way to balance out the flavor of tea. This is why we usually have some kind of baked good to sell at the cafe.
However, I enjoy savory foods. Small sandwiches, pretzels, things of that nature. Nothing too oily.
They do. It certainly makes my day when someone finds their favorite pairing of tea and snack. Maybe they do not say it with their mouths, but in the way they straighten up in their seat or start to eat a little faster.
If conversation cannot settle differences, it is better to ignore the situation than do anything that may provoke further consequences. That is what I believe.

Strong tea. If only all tea was like that, all the time.
No. While I like the addition of milk, sugar, or lemon at times, it is the true taste of tea that keeps me in love with the drink.
Otherwise, it would be like anything with additives: muddled and obscuring. Deceptive, even.

I never put that much thought into it. As long as it tastes good, it's fine.
no subject
Every flavor, every aroma, every moment is important.
[ :^) ]
Or maybe, I am just a fanatic.

What do you eat with tea? Any snacks that go well with it? I'm getting hungry while we're having this discussion.

no subject
Isn't it normal? It makes a perfect balance. Everyone's got different tastes though.
no subject
Is there a specific dessert you like?
no subject
You keep them at your place, right? Who wouldn't want to drink tea with a good snack??
no subject
I know I may not be able to provide what everyone likes, though it certainly makes me happy just trying.
no subject
That's a respectable attitude to have!
no subject
If anything, recent experiences have taught me that it now means more to care and to ensure the well-being of all customers.
Because, who knows if they will discover old memories as well?
no subject
You recall anything important yet?
no subject
But it is unclear to what it means.
I can recall the feeling of fire all over my body. Not burning me alive, but the sensation of intense heat.
It may have consumed me. Or possibly, I stood just outside of certain death. I do not know.
And you?
no subject
And for myself? Well, I don't know. I have one vivid memory of being attacked by a monster.
Apparently I was skilled enough to fight back.
no subject
I wonder if that is by design?
I hope that I can stay by the side and avoid violence if possible, if it comes to it.
no subject
I suppose not everyone's into that sort of thing. Maybe we can get through this without punching someone in the face.

I enjoy fighting a little. Sometimes you have to take a risk and face things head on!
no subject
I have taken enough risks in my lifetime.
But... I suppose youth has its advantages. Does it not?
no subject
If you take too many risks then you won't want to do it anymore.
no subject
Hence why I would like to not take many risks with the life that I have left.
Who knows what tomorrow may bring, after all.
no subject
Just how old are you anyways?
no subject
That is old, you know.
no subject
Are you ready for retirement yet?
no subject
I do not know how to feel about that question. I am far from retirement. I may work until I die.
no subject
Do you like the excitement you get from work?
no subject
Perhaps I would become bored if I never encountered another person.
In a small way, I am glad this application showed up on my phone.
no subject
If you're content in some ways then that's what matters, I guess.
no subject
almost a wish come true, tbh ]
I tried a few times, but I gave up pretty quickly. My employees could not help me either... or would not, apparently.
I am content as long as nothing ruins my daily routine. That is all. Though more and more frequently, there have been some small disruptions.
no subject
Oh yeah. They wouldn't help with this. Talk about useless.
I wouldn't get too comfy if I were you.
no subject
Some of them also have it, so I suppose I am lucky to have ones that are... more acquainted with what I am experiencing.
And I will try not to, but like an old cat, I would like to be comfortable if I can.
no subject
Is your shop open now?
no subject
Perhaps I should be doing work.
no subject
Don't forget to take breaks sometimes.
