Amy Tan Quote

I take a few quick sips. This is really good. And I mean it. I have never tasted tea like this. It is smooth, pungent, and instantly addicting.This is from Grand Auntie, my mother explains. She told me 'If I buy the cheap tea, then I am saying that my whole life has not been worth something better.' A few years ago she bought it for herself. One hundred dollars a pound.You're kidding. I take another sip. It tastes even better.
