Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Promotion of Black Tea_l

Translator: 549690339

Wei Ruo opened the small jar, using a small spoon to scoop out the black tea leaves inside.

Upon seeing the color of the tea leaves, a variety of puzzled expressions appeared on everyone’s faces.

Why was the tea black?

If the tea was not stored properly or if it was over-roasted during the drying process, wouldn’t it become black?

Wei Ruo understood their confusion, but rather than explaining, she concentrated on the task at hand.

The process of making milk tea was not complicated. The caramel was pre-prepared. After it was added to water and boiled, the black tea was added. After boiling for a while longer, milk was added. Once brought to a boil again, the kettle could be removed from the stove.

Wei Ruo set out the teacups and poured the milk tea into them. The teapot had a built-in filter, so there was no need to worry about tea leaves pouring out with the tea, and no need for any additional filtering cloth.

Wei Ruo poured six cups and gave one to Xiu Yaojun and each of the five girls closest to her.

Xiu Yaojun looked at the teacup in her hand, hesitating about whether to try it.

Yuan Jiuniang also received a cup of milk tea from Wei Ruo. Out of trust, she

was the first to take a sip.

At first, Yuan Jiuniang showed no reaction.

Everyone watched her curiously, including Wei Qingwan who had been holding back her curiosity and hadn’t come over to watch Wei Ruo brew tea.

A moment later, a look of delight appeared on Yuan Jiuniang’s face, followed by praise, “It’s delicious! It has a creamy milk flavor, it’s sweet, and there’s a bit of tea aroma. The taste is very rich!”

Hearing Yuan Jiuniang’s comments, Xiu Yaojun’s curiosity was also piqued.

She had watched Wei Ruo’s tea brewing process, and all the ingredients added were common. The only unusual thing was the black tea, which did not seem superior.

Xiu Yaojun took a small sip and carefully tasted it.

It was good! Xiu Yaojun was pleasantly surprised. She took another sip, wanting to get a better taste.

“It really is very good!” Xiu Yaojun commented.

After saying that, Xiu Yaojun looked at Wei Ruo. This could be considered the first time she truly admired Wei Ruo.

Although she had previously said many nice things to Wei Ruo, none of them were truly sincere.

Even when Wei Ruo’s poem was highly praised during last time’s outing, she did not think that Wei Ruo was particularly talented. Wei Ruo was merely a tool she could use to annoy Wei Qingwan.

With Xiu Yaojun giving it a positive review, the rest of the girls who received the milk tea also nonchalantly began to taste it.

After tasting, everyone expressed their opinions. Some found it good, some found it novel, but no one said it tasted bad.

Yuan Jiuniang asked Wei Ruo, “Ruoruo, what’s up with this tea? Why is it black?”

Yuan Jiuniang asked what everyone else was wondering. Everyone was curious about this.

“This is black tea. The manufacturing process is slightly different from the green tea you usually drink. It lacks some of the bitterness of green tea and is smoother, making it more suitable for milk tea,” Wei Ruo explained.
