According to google translate on the teas from the Dungeon Meshi cafe, Mithrun’s tea is Darjeeling, Marcille is Earl Grey, and Thistle is Assam.

I like that Thistle’s tea is the one with the highest caffeine content, especially with how much the anime is emphasizing the permanent bags under his eyes. I wanna try to find reasons Marcille and Mithrun’s teas fit them, but I am tired and not a tea expert, alas.

Aoko: Hmm, this cafe ain't bad, huh? 

Alice: Right. When you said you'd be entering, I was concerned about what we'd get ourselves into.  

Aoko: With a place like this, wouldn't you look forward to the tea here? 

Alice: Hm, how so? It's not like you can assess the quality of tea based on the interior of the place. 

Aoko: You just don't trust my intuition. Anyways, excuse me, waitress! 

Chikage: uuu… Decided on an order? What's it gonna be? 

Alice: That doesn't sound hospitable.

Aoko: Ugh–

Chikage: Huh? I didn't say anything rude. 

Keitai: No matter how you look at it, you were being rude!!! At this point, the foliage would be more reliable for taking orders! 

Aoko: Eh??

Chikage: Waa—!? Don't just come out willy-nilly!! 

Alice: …….

*Alice steps on Keitai* 

Keitai: bururbuur *makes pain noises* 

Aoko: Hey, hey!! Alice, what are you doing?! 

Alice: Nothing, just felt a strong sense of *familiarity* with this one. 

Hibiki: Chika-chan! Chika-chan! It sounds kinda loud here, did something happen? I wanna join in! 

Chikage: Don't worry about it. Just the usual business. 

Hibiki: Oh, Keitai's being stepped on. 

Aoko: Is this y'all's toy? Here, sorry about the violent assault we've inflicted on it. 

Hibiki: Ahahaha! Thanks! 

Keitai: Oi!! Why would you call me a toy?! You see a smartphone, call it a smartphone–burhusnunw 

Chikage: All your chatter is pointless. Just shut up. 

Alice: It sounded like that small, blue object spoke. 

Hibiki: There's nothing odd about it! After all, it's just a regular smartphone! See see, it can take photos! 

Keitai: *Ching!!*

Aoko: A smart….phone? 

Hibiki: Yup yup! A smartphone!! 

Aoko: No way, this is different from anything I know. Also, photos?! Where does the film go?!? On top of that, why would you need to use a phone to take photos?!

Alice: To begin with, isn't the notion of a portable phone pure nonsense? 

Chikage: wha- what's with those reactions? Did you two just come out of the mountains today? 

Aoko: Guh—!

Aoko: Alice, I can't believe it. Was I just stooped to Soujurou's level right now?

Alice: Stay strong, Aoko. I, too, just felt the same way. 

Hibiki: Huh? They seem to be really shocked. 

Keitai: uhyo!! Uhyohyohyo!! Miss Blue is from an era virtually similar to prehistoric times, ei? Are you realizing now how great it must be to witness the signs of the 21st century's height of technology?!

Aoko: I don't get it but are you trying to pick a fight?! You're picking a fight with me aren't you?! I got nothing on you now but cuz of that, I'm gonna go to the 30th century and swipe the latest K-TAI!! 

Chikage: Don't you start a fight!! And you! Stop getting so heated about it!! 

Soujurou: That's right. Fighting isn't good, Aozaki.

Aoko: …wha–

Hibiki: Oh, Soujurou-san!

Chikage: Eh? You guys know each other? 

Alice: Shizuku-kun, what are you doing here? 

Soujurou: You ask but it's what it looks like, this is my part-time job. 

Aoko: You've increased your number of jobs again. Why you–! 

Soujurou: I was told my way of brewing black tea was poor and that really struck me. And so, I was allowed to work here to study more about tea brewing. 

Alice: This tea… it's Darjeeling. Is this Shizuki's brew? 

Soujurou: Drinking this is meant to relax you. You're coming into a cafe with a nice atmosphere so it's fruitless to be on edge all the time. 

**

Keitai: Ah, this young monk! What will he come up with afte—burbdjbd

Chikage: That's enough. You should shut up. 

**

Aoko: Well, if you say so, then I'll leave it at that. Alice seems to like it. How is it? 

Alice: I'm not partial to it but I don't feel anything terrible from the tea either. 

Aoko: Hehe, sounds great! In that case, I'll dig in! 

Alice: …

Aoko: Soujurou…

Soujurou: Yes, what is it? I'd like to hear any impressions you have. 

*Aoko slaps Soujurou* 

Aoko: It's like you haven't improved at all!! 

Soujurou: Guaaa!! 

Aoko: It's tepid!! It's bitter!! On top of that, it  fucking smells!! Drop that shit-eating self-satisfied smile off your face!! 

Alice: So, what does he do in this cafe? 

Hibiki: He washes the dishes! 

Soujurou: Yeah! That's the errand boy from the front gate! 

Aoko: Apologize!! Apologize to the kid! Until you can be a top-notch tea-server, you're training your ass off here 'til the very end!! I'll even rent out the cafe's kitchen!! 

Hibiki: eeehhh… we might have a bit of trouble with that… 

Alice: May I order the high class wagyu beef stew? He'll pay for it. 

Hibiki: You're just gonna heartlessly take advantage of him while he's getting beaten??

Keitai: Haa, I just knew when those people came, it was gonna be nothing but chaos, ei!

Chikage: This is mainly your fault!!

He Has Only Ever Loved But Twice

Another angst let's go lol.

If and when Jack ever speaks of the one he's loved before, it's a must that you will keep it to yourself. Jack has only ever loved but twice. He's loved his Mother, and he's loved another. Another that he met in his younger years.

It was a time where he knew he may have had his younger years pushing at him to do things he would never do now. But, through one of those instances, he found you.

You were a simple person, running a cafe and doing whatever you needed to make sure it kept running. Customers were always in and out, but through a simple instance of where Jack was having a certain craving, he met you. The wonderful person behind the counter, and the person he would keep in mind for the rest of his years.

You were a gentle soul, keeping your kindness and your purity on your sleeve. He didn't even need to remove his monocle to see what you were feeling. And frankly, he thought it was beautiful either way. Your lovely face and your lovely appearance, or your truly beautiful colors lining your silhouette.

Jack has only ever loved once by then. But yet, when he interacted with you while buying a treat for himself, he could only feel the unbearable warmth that coursed through him. He didn't even know you, and yet your energy brightened his day.

He visited another day. Same result. And he visited another day. The same result. Those days turned into weeks, and those weeks turned into months. Those months turned into years. By now, you had his order memorized by heart. You knew he always wanted a slice of apple pie with some darjeeling tea with two teaspoons sugar and a small splash of milk.

Within these years, Jack grew more accustomed to a gentleman-like behavior. But only once did he manage to ask you out. You were rather flustered with the request. But yet, you knew this man for perhaps years.

You two had small talk, and sometimes managed to see each other outside of the cafe. How different would this be?

You agreed to his request. Words couldn't express how happy he was. He took you to many places and took his time with you. Seeing you for a much longer time than he usually does seemed to take him into a world of love. Truly, he loved you. Truly, he wanted to be with you for the rest of his years. You knew his feelings as well, and you agreed to it. You were his.

Jack thought this was finally an upside to his situation. He thought he could finally have someone with him.

But he wasn't a simple man. You were a simple person that ran a cafe. He was an assassin. A man that had many targets on his back because of how he killed and how much he managed to murder. Of course it placed a target on your back as well when he left someone alive on one of his jobs.

Of course the cards dealt to him on a certain day made him lose you. He wanted to give you a gift, so he stayed out a little later to get flowers. If he hadn't, perhaps he could have been able to save you. If he were just a little faster in his choosing, perhaps you would have lived. He knew it was simple excuses when he saw that you were lifeless in his arms with others approaching to kill him.

Jack never paid attention to anyone else when this happened, and instead kept his eyes on you. It felt like his world was gone. Taken from him in a manner it shouldn't have been. He knew there were people rushing at him to kill him. Truthfully, he wanted to die because he couldn't protect you. But he didn't want to let go. At least not yet.

He didn't let any of them take you away from him, but he knew pieces of his being were already long gone by the time he saw you.

That weight never left his being when he knew he had to let you go. He never did, even when his eyes watched you being lowered in your own grave.

 Jack only ever loved but twice. Once for the mother that used him for another man. And twice for the significant other unfortunate enough to be caught by his eyes.

[krizwrites]

There is so much unbridled freedom in being yourself, without children. It is noble in and of itself to have kids for the right reasons. But for Anna, having to sleep in and go anywhere was a freedom she refused to give up. To gaze at the stars for hours on end and sleep when the sun sets. To leave the television on. To bake unusually large pies for a single person and space it out for a week. To have a refrigerator half empty and be alright because she only had herself. To have a buzzing air conditioner, on the brink of breaking, fill her room with a homely breeze as she wraps herself in comfort watching whatever antiquated drama there is on screen. 

Her paintings and musings go beyond the weekends. She walks home after a long day of being that strange librarian and lives a thousand lives manifested in pots, pans, canvases, notebooks, and annotated books. On some occasions, she finds herself drinking wine with friends at small pop-up jazz clubs tucked away in small corner-built cafes. On others, long walks with longer journal entries. She only dated sparsely, and she couldn’t go beyond a second date. She never really understood its appeal. After some time, she just shrugged her shoulders and never dated again. For a while, she thought there was something wrong with her. I���m attracted to men, she told herself. Women, why not? But maybe she just wasn’t meant for dates. She couldn’t imagine herself in a relationship at all, and haven’t at all for as long as she could remember. 

Love will come, she told herself one dawn-cold morning over the darjeeling tea she brewed herself. If not, at least I loved myself the way I wanted to, she carried on thinking over more milk and a teaspoon of sugar. 

In her head, this is as fulfilled as she can get, and how fulfilled she intends to stay. There are moments when she comes home to an emptiness that fills her chest with unease, but that usually went away after plopping down on her couch and letting her mask off. The peace that comes in her own company was worth more than adding disturbance in the quiet solitude, she always found herself thinking. 

No way, no way.

How to Start a Tea Tasting Club Business Under 1 Lakh – Basketleaf

If you’re passionate about tea and want to share the experience with others, launching a tea tasting club is an exciting, budget-friendly business idea. With growing interest in wellness and gourmet experiences, tea tasting clubs are a great way to attract tea enthusiasts and newcomers alike. As one of the best businesses under ₹1 lakh, a tea tasting club offers both a unique venture and a fulfilling experience.

This guide will walk you through each step of starting your own tea tasting club on a limited budget.

Why a Tea Tasting Club Business?

Tea tasting clubs provide a platform for tea lovers to explore new flavors, learn about tea origins, and connect with like-minded individuals. As the tea culture in India evolves, more people are interested in experiencing teas beyond the traditional chai. A tea tasting club offers:

Low Startup Costs: With minimal equipment and setup needed, you can easily stay within a ₹1 lakh budget.

Flexible Location Options: Host tastings at home, local cafés, or rented spaces on a need basis.

Niche Appeal: Appeal to a community that values quality tea and unique tasting experiences.

Step-by-Step Guide to Starting a Tea Tasting Club Business Under ₹1 Lakh

1. Define Your Target Audience and Tasting Style

Consider the type of tea enthusiasts you want to attract. Is your audience more interested in traditional Indian teas, wellness teas, or exotic blends? Defining your audience helps determine the types of teas you’ll offer and the style of your tastings.

Target Audience: Tea enthusiasts, health-conscious individuals, wellness seekers.

Tasting Style: Casual or formal. Decide if you want seated tastings with guided discussions or a relaxed, social setting.

2. Build a Tea Collection on a Budget

Select a range of teas that offer variety without breaking your budget. With a small investment, you can purchase tea samples from wholesalers, online marketplaces, or local tea brands.

Investment: Allocate around ₹30,000 – ₹40,000 for tea stocks, purchasing from bulk suppliers to get diverse options affordably.

Recommended Teas: Begin with classic Indian teas (Assam, Darjeeling), green tea, herbal infusions, and a few specialty blends.

3. Invest in Basic Tea Tasting Supplies

To conduct professional tea tastings, you’ll need essential supplies like tea cups, tasting trays, and aroma jars. Stick to quality yet affordable options.

Essentials: Small tea cups, strainers, thermoses, and tasting spoons.

Investment: ₹10,000 – ₹15,000 for basic but quality tasting equipment.

4. Choose a Venue

To keep costs low, consider spaces you already have access to or venues that charge minimal fees. Options like home tastings, shared spaces, or occasional pop-ups at local cafes work well for a tea tasting club.

Low-Cost Options: Host tastings at home, rent local cafés, or approach co-working spaces with common areas.

Investment: ₹10,000 – ₹20,000 if renting spaces occasionally. For a regular home-based club, this cost can be minimal.

5. Curate Unique Tasting Events

Differentiate your tea tasting club by organizing themed events and tastings. This approach attracts members looking for unique and memorable experiences.

Theme Ideas: Regional Indian teas, seasonal blends, wellness teas (herbal infusions), or global teas.

Session Structure: Begin each session with an introduction to the tea's origin and flavor profile, followed by a guided tasting, and end with open discussion.

6. Create Membership Options

Offering memberships can provide regular income and help build a community around your tea club. Provide perks like discounted tasting sessions, early event access, or exclusive tea samples.

Membership Plans: Create affordable monthly or quarterly plans with one or two tastings per month.

Pricing: Aim to make it accessible; a monthly membership can start from ₹500–₹1,000.

7. Market Your Club to Attract Members

Effective, low-cost marketing can help you grow your tea tasting club and establish your brand.

Social Media Marketing: Use Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp to reach potential members. Post visually appealing photos of your tasting sessions, teas, and club updates.

Collaborations: Partner with local cafés, wellness centers, or cultural clubs to cross-promote your club.

Referral Programs: Offer discounts or free tastings to members who bring in friends.

Creative Marketing Tips for a Tea Tasting Club

1. Host a Free Tasting Event to Build Interest

A complimentary first session can attract curious visitors and turn them into members. Use this event to showcase your tea selection and introduce the club's benefits.

2. Leverage User-Generated Content

Encourage members to share their tasting experiences on social media and tag your club. User-generated content builds trust and enhances visibility.

3. Collaborate with Influencers

Reach out to micro-influencers in the food and wellness space who can attend your tasting events and share their experience, expanding your audience.

4. Use Instagram and WhatsApp for Direct Engagement

Post stories, teasers, and exclusive updates on Instagram, and keep your members engaged through a WhatsApp group. These platforms are ideal for direct interaction with your audience.

5. Create Limited-Time Offers

Run promotions or offer discounted memberships during festive seasons or launch periods to encourage sign-ups.

FAQs

1. Do I need a license to start a tea tasting club?

Since you're serving, not selling, tea directly, you may not need a full business license. However, check with local authorities to be certain.

2. How can I make each tea tasting session unique?

Experiment with themes, pairing tea with snacks, or incorporating elements like tea history discussions or aroma testing.

3. What if I want to expand my tea tasting club into a full business?

        Were one to ask what prefers between tea and coffee, Suo would pick tea in a heartbeat. It’s part of his routine at this point — a cup in the morning after meditation, another cup or two when he hangs out with his friends, and at least one more before he would call it a day. That being said, he isn’t against the prospect of drinking coffee altogether. It may not be his first choice, but it could do in a pinch.

        The need for a beverage or even food isn’t the reason why he decides to pay a visit in Cafe December, however. He simply needed a quiet and peaceful place to while the time, and the cozy nook showed much promise from the outside. And if Kotoha-san of Cafe Pothos were of any indication, a cafe owner in a place as quaint as this would be all too happy to leave him to his devices.

        But what may be the biggest surprise of this excursion occurs at his first step inside, and immediately seeing himself face to face with the owner. Given the choice of aesthetics, Suo wasn’t expecting a tall guy in black manning the store. He looks like someone who would fit in well in the streets — and in his own hometown’s streets, at that.

        Perhaps that’s why Suo is not intimidated at all. He might look like a troublemaker, but Suo’s home is with rowdy individuals and rough-housed ilk. If anything, this is more familiar than anything he has seen in Spirale thus far.

        And there’s one more thing Suo’s instincts tell him — he’s strong. That alone is enough to pique his curiosity more than anything else. Perhaps this visit would be more fruitful than he expected to be.

        A single maroon eye scans over the menu and ah, turns out they do serve tea in here. He points at one of the choices with a single finger. “I’d like a medium serving of your darjeeling, please.”
