Rowan's 2024 Tea Wrapped ☕️🫖

Oh hey it's that time again! How much tea did I drink in 2024? I'm so glad you asked!

Overall, I drank 568 cups of 87 different varieties of tea last year, which is approximately 3.75 lbs of loose-leaf tea!

I drank 404 cups of black tea, 47 cups of green tea, 20 cups of white tea, and 97 cups of herbal tea.

My top 10 teas accounted for about 38% of my total tea consumption for the year.

Rowan's Top 10 Teas of 2024:

#1 - Spicy Seattle Chai from Market Spice (24 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black spiced tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 4-5 minutes, add honey and cream to taste. I don't brew this one in the traditional way, because I don't have the patience. This is one of my all-time favorite teas, and a staple of my Autumn/Winter collection. So good. 5/5

#2 - Vanilla with Lavender from Lovejoy's (23 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 3-4 minutes, add honey to taste, good with or without cream. A delightful lightly-floral tea and staple of my year-round collection. 5/5

#2 - Connoisseur Blend from Market Spice (23 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 3-4 minutes, honey and cream optional. To be honest, the reason I drank so much of this one last year is because it was getting older and I wanted to use it up, but it is a good standard black tea that is also good iced in the summer, with or without additional flavors. I have since replaced it with Taylors of Harrogate's Afternoon Darjeeling. 4/5

#4 - Passionfruit from Market Spice (22 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 3-4 minutes, add honey to taste. This was another one I was trying to use up this year because it was getting older. To be honest, it's just average, though it makes a decent iced tea in the summer. I have since replaced it with one from Adagio that has a better flavor. 3/5

#5 - Jasmine from Market Spice (21 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this green tea + 12 oz. 170ºF water, brewed for 2-3 minutes, add honey to taste. As with most of my floral teas, I used to only drink this one in the Spring and Summer, but it has become a staple of my year-round collection. I'm not usually a fan of green teas, but this one is excellent. It is light and pleasant when I don't want something as strong as a black tea. I experimented last summer with trying it iced, but it did not really work for me. 4/5

#6 - Apricot from Market Spice (20 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 3-4 minutes, add honey to taste. This was another one I was trying to use up this year because it was getting older. Much like Market Spice's passionfruit, it's just average. I generally used it to make iced tea in the summer. I am still searching for a really good apricot tea. 3/5

#7 - Cherry Almond from Lovejoy's (18 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 3-4 minutes, add honey and cream to taste. I spent a lot of time last year trying to use up teas and get them out of my collection, didn't I? This one wasn't old; I just wasn't happy with it, and it appears to have been discontinued. I have since replaced it with Adagio's cherry marzipan oolong, which is excellent. 3/5

#8 - Earl Grey Lavender from Adagio (17 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 2-3 minutes, add honey to taste, good with or without cream. I love an Earl Grey, and this one has been a staple of my year-round collection for quite some time. I've run out for now, and am experimenting with other Earl Grey blends, but I am sure I will buy more eventually. 4/5

#9 - Chocolate Raspberry Pu-ehr from the Lolo Sweets Barn (16 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 3-4 minutes, add honey and cream to taste. This one has long been a household favorite and staple of my Autumn/Winter collection, but it has sadly been discontinued. Fortunately, I have managed to find a suitable replacement in Lovejoy's delightful chocolate raspberry tea. 4/5

#10 - Irish Whiskey Cream from Tea & Absinthe (15 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 3-4 minutes, add honey and cream to taste. This is a rising star of my Autumn/Winter collection, and a new household favorite. If you are a fan of Irish Cream liqueurs, you will love this tea. 5/5

#10 - Monk's Earl Grey from Ilomaa Forest Farm (15 cups) - 1 heaping teaspoon of this black tea + 12 oz. boiling water, brewed for 2-3 minutes, add honey to taste, good with or without cream. A twist on the traditional Earl Grey, with added floral and spice flavors. It looks like this one is only available in Canada, so we probably won't be getting more anytime soon, but it is very nice. 4/5

Special Halloween Party Event

Chapter 14 [END]: Wonderful Memories

This is a rough translation of the story. You may encounter minor errors on the way, please be understanding and considerate (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠) With that being said, enjoy reading!

ITALICS - Narration; BOLD ITALIC - Dialogues

My ears caught the sounds of a piano performance from the cafeteria while walking down the first floor hallway one day… When I peeked inside the room, I saw Kitty playing the piano with Berrien standing by her side.

[~~♪]

Kitty: Ufufu ♪ How was Kitty’s piano performance?

Berrien: It was an amazing performance.

I didn't know Kitty-chan is that skilled at playing the piano.

Kitty; Thank you ♪ I'm happy you like it ♪

Oh? The one over there is…

Ah…

Berrien: So you're here, Aruji-sama.

Forgive me for not noticing you earlier.

Kitty: Hello!

Hello, were you playing the piano?

Kitty: Yes!

I talked about how I love to play piano, and he allowed me to play ♪

Berrien: Kitty-chan’s performance was truly magnificent.

She told me she has practiced a lot of times before.

That's amazing, Kitty-chan.

Kitty: Thank you! Berrien-san, arujisan ♪

Berrien: Fufu, speaking of which… Aruji-sama, you came by the right time.

The truth is… I am planning on holding a tea party if you come back.

Tea party?

Berrien: Yes. And of course along with Kitty-chan too.

It's a rare opportunity for us to meet like this after all. I thought it'd be great to deepen our bond using this chance…

Thank you, Berrien.

Kitty: I can have a tea party with arujisan?

That's wonderful!

Berrien: The weather today is pleasant as well… I'll guide us all to the conservatory.

Both me and Kitty-chan arrived at the conservatory after that. Berrien left the room, saying he'll prepare for the tea party… And he soon returned after.

Berrien: Forgive me for keeping you waiting. I brought tea and sweets.

Kitty: Wah! The cutlery is so pretty ♪

Berrien: Fufu, I'm grateful for your kind compliment.

I have prepared each of Aruji-sama and Kitty-chan's favorite sweets today…

All the treats are made by all the first floor butlers.

Kitty: Ah! There are also my favorite apple pies ♪

You do like apple pies after all.

Kitty: Yes, that's right ♪

Berrien: I have prepared all kinds of teas for today.

We'll start off with tea that is most suited for apple pies, “apple tea”...

We can't leave out Darjeeling during this period, since it has a certain autumnal feeling to it…

There are also a lot more… Please choose whichever you like.

Kitty: Thank you so much for holding a magnificent tea party like this!

Kitty is so happy right now!

I'm glad I came to play in this world!

And I'm glad to know that.

Berrien: Fufu, Aruji-sama, Kitty-chan. Please take your time and enjoy them then.

- A little later on -

Kitty: M~mm, so delicious ♪

I love Mama’s homemade apple pies the most… But I also love this apple pie!

Please try it too arujisan ♪

…Mm! Delicious!

Berrien: I'm pleased to know you enjoy it.

Please enjoy it together with the apple tea too.

You can indulge yourself in the apple aroma even further…

Kitty: Wow, so good!

The tea Berrien brewed is so superb.

Berrien: It is my honor to hear your compliments.

How about Berrien having fun with us too?

Berrien: No, I'm that of a butler.

I can't sit together with my master and their guest…

What do you think, Kitty-chan?

Kitty: Kitty welcomes Berrien-san too if that's what arujisan want ♪

I want to talk more with him!

See, both of us are okay with it.

Berrien: I know this before, but you are truly kind, Aruji-sama.

And thank you Kitty-chan for allowing me too.

Pardon me for including myself then.

The three of us had a fun tea party like that.

- After a while -

Kitty: Fufu ♪ What a wonderful tea time it was!

It was.

Kitty: Mmm… Kitty feels sad that we have to part ways.

Berrien: Elvira-sama has said that the effect will dissipate after a few weeks after all…

If that's the case, then it isn't strange that our parting day is close.

I'm going to feel lonely…

Berrien: Aruji-sama… Indeed.

Which is exactly why we strive to create precious memories with them for the final time.

We'll see them off with joyful memories, rather than sorrowful ones!

You're right.

Kitty: Ah! That's right!

Is something the matter?

Kitty: Kitty has a nice idea ♪

The three of us should do a piano performance during the Halloween Ball ♪

Huh!?

Berrien: A piano performance by us… Fufu, that sounds exciting.

I'm worried since we don't have enough time in our hands though…

Berrien: Please be at ease. I'll prepare a simple score for Aruji-sama to perform.

I'll accompany you to practice too, of course.

I'll try my best then… I guess?

Kitty: Thank you! Arujisan ♪

I'm sure it'll be a wonderful memory!

I'm still a bit uncertain…

Kitty-chan gently held my hands after I said that.

Kitty: Don't worry! It'll definitely turn out okay ♪

(C-Cute…)

Kitty: Let's do our best!

Alright, I'm feeling motivated…

- A few days later -

[

It was the day of the Halloween Ball. Everyone gathered at the place designated for today. There weren't only Halloween desserts on top of the table… But they also served dishes like fish and meat. I participated and performed a song and dance. I also did the piano performance with Kitty-chan and Berrien. Because I was on stage multiple times… the butlers who were clueless have a surprised look on their faces. This surprise feels “Halloween-like” too… And so it turned into a fun party filled with laughter… It's just that when everyone is waltzing, Berry, Cherry, and Lato played a prank and things started to get chaotic… But that little incident also turned into a wonderful memory.

- A few hours later -

Just when the Halloween party is about to approach its end… Kitty-chan and her friends started to emit faint lights out of the blue.

Kitty: Huh?

This is…

Berrien: At a time like this…?

Miyaji: This means that… it's time for us to part.

Cinnamon-kun, I'm grateful for the enjoyable times we've spent.

Cinnamon: I'm the one who's grateful for our fun times~! See you again! Miyaji-san!

Lono: Take care, Purin.

Purin: See you~! Lono-kun ♪

Lamli; Bye-bye! Kuromi-chan!

Kuromi: This isn't a farewell! It definitely isn't! I swear on it!

Ammon: Melody-chan, take care of yourself.

Melody: Okay ♡ Take care of yourself too, Ammon-kun ♪

Hangyodon: Good bye, Hanamaru-san.

Hanamaru: Let's have baths and hot pot again the next time we meet.

Cogimyun: Shiro-kun, bye-bye myun…

Shiro: Yes.

Bellen: Shiro, shouldn't you say something more?

Shiro: There's no need to say a lifetime farewell. This doesn't mean we'll never be able to see each other again.

Pekkle: Bellen-san, see you again!

Bellen: Yes. We'll definitely see each other again.

Keroppi: Nac-san, let's sing together again!

Nac: Yes, certainly.

Flure: Berry, Cherry, see you.

Lato: Our prank was a big success. Show me your magic next time too.

Cherry: This party wasn't half bad, it was pretty fun ♡

Berry: We'll do a more awesome prank the next time we meet again!

Mell: Bastien-san, see you again ♡

Bastien: Yeah, see you.

Kuririn: Thank you for all your help, Teddy-kun!

Teddy: You're welcome! Let's meet again!

Lucas: Pochacco-kun, I'll bring you to more places in the future ♪

Pochacco: Ehehe, I'm excited to see it~♪ I'll be sure to come again~!

Haures: See you again… Sam, Badtz-Maru.

Sam: Good bye, Haures-san!

Badtz-Maru: Uuh…

Sam: Badtz, are you crying?

Badtz-Maru: I didn't! Something got into my eyes, that's all!

Boschi; Hmph, that's so… You really can't be straightforward at all.

Piano: It was a lot of fun ♡ Let's play together again, Yuhan-kun ♪

Yuhan: Fufu… Yes, let's play again.

Kiki: Bye-bye, Fennesz-san ☆

Lala: I'm sure we'll see each other again ☆

Fennesz: Yes, one day for sure…

Berrien: I absolutely won't forget our meeting.

Kitty; Kitty too ♪ Thank you, Berrien-san! Thank you, every butlers ♪

And thank you, arujisan ♪

See you, Kitty-chan.

Kitty: We'll play together again! It's a promise!

Yes, I promise you.

I shook hands with Kitty-chan as I said that. Cinnamon, Purin… and the others around me also come to greet me.

See you again, everyone.

After I said that… Kitty-chan and the others went back to their world at the same time. This year's Halloween has turned to a very… very, very wonderful memory. I'm sure this will be an unforgettable event in my whole life.

Pairing: Nanami Kento x Reader

Genre: Smut, no hurt just comfort, fix it fic

Word Count: 3089

Warnings: PWP, mild ddlg, soft dom Nanami, plus size reader, female bodied reader, use of the word 'cunt', no protection, pussy eating, 69, pet names, very cutesey shit.

Summary: Days after the incident at Shibuya, your lover and you finally get a day of rest. But Nanami and you have missed each others company, and you take the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with each other.

A/N: I reject the canon. The canon does not get to have my man Nanami Kento. This is a purely self indulgent fic. It takes place after the incident at Shibuya but veers off after the burning. Nanami Kento LIVES. He is very much alive, in our arms, being loved and worshiped. Mahito? Idk them. This goes out to all the girlies that -- like me -- have lost their sanity a little bit over this man.

There’s a faint fragrance of tea when you open your eyes. The morning light scatters through the windows which have been opened to let the crisp autumn air in. Pink curtains flutter in the breeze – the ones you insisted on having when you saw them in the shop window. You reach out to the other side of the bed and feel the sheets, the warmth of its recent occupant fast fading. 

You swing your legs over the edge and find your fluffy slippers. Another impulse buy, but this time, not yours. His. He’d noticed how you always hated your toes being cold especially when you just got out from under the covers. So, when he saw them in a shop while out on a mission, he’d picked them up for you. After swiftly brushing your teeth in the adjoining bathroom, you head outside. The warmth of the kitchen beckons you, as well as the promise of finding him, so you make your way there, picking at the remnants of sleep from your eyes. 

Your lover, Nanami Kento, stands at the stove with his back to you. “Tea’s almost ready my love.” He says, without turning. Of course, he heard you coming! His senses are as sharp as a cats. You pad up to him and put your arms around his waist feeling the broad expanse of his back against your chest.

“You should’ve woken me” Your voice is soft and still laden with sleep. He loves hearing you like this. Smushing your face into his back you take a long, deep breath. His scent is comforting to you. Like home. Like love. Like tea and biscuits. 

“I was just about to.” He replies. You can feel him moving. He’s pouring out the tea. Black Darjeeling with a spoon of honey. The perfect drink for this weather you think to yourself. You kiss his broad back, as he picks up the mugs and slides one arm over your head, manoeuvring you to come and nestle against his side. Even though it’s not winter yet, there’s a chill in the air, but Nanami foregoes a tee, opting to stay barechested. You hope he doesn’t fall sick, but know that his body runs hot, so for him, it’s nothing really to be in just his sweatpants. The incident in Shibuya had left its scars. He called his left side ‘scary’. He’d been healed of course – physically, but sometimes, you thought, there was still some healing left to be done. He would cover himself as much as possible whenever he was outside, so truth be told, for him to even show you this… The first few days had been the toughest. The fear, the pain that wasn’t really there but still was, the covering up. It had taken a lot of kisses – a lot of love, to get to this. A place where he knew you appreciated him, regardless of the way his skin looked. But a reminder every now and then never hurt.  

The two of you don’t speak much, but you don’t need to really. Five years into a relationship, some things become as smooth as breathing. Morning routines on holidays are one of these very things. Sipping tea, watching the birds fly in the sky as it gets bluer. The kitchen windows are like a small portal to a different world at this time of the day. Outside, you can both hear the people waking up and starting to walk around, up and down the street in front of the apartment. But up here, the two of you are in a little bubble of your own. You turn your head and lay a kiss on Nanami’s chest. He hums a deep rumble that you feel, despite it being soft. A kiss on your head. Another on your forehead. Nanami’s mug set back down on the counter. He places a finger right under your chin and gently tilts your head up; just enough – that he can now lower his and kiss your lips. You melt into his touch. “Min-min…” Things had been getting harder, you know this. The curses were getting tougher, the hours longer, and the time for rest was practically nonexistent. The two of you had barely had any time for each other, so today was precious. Who even knew what the future would bring��� 

Nanami backs you into the counter. His hand runs down your arm and takes the mug you’re still holding to place it safely away. His lips don’t leave yours for a moment. Gentle, drawn-out touches soon turn harder and more desperate. 

“I’ve missed you baby girl.” he breathes, crashing his lips into yours. You run your hands through his hair pulling him closer. 

“I know,” you gasp out half breathless, “I’ve missed you too. So much!” He pushes his thigh between your legs and rubs his knee against your clothed crotch. 

“We don’t have anything important to do today. Do we?”

“Whatever it is, it can wait. You’re more important anyway…” 

“More than even, breakfast?” 

“Fuck breakfast…” 

He chuckles. “Good. ‘Cause there’s only one thing I want to eat right now.” Your breath hitches in your throat as Nanami says this, then dips down. It’s a good thing he had you lean against something because your knees buckle and it's all you can do to grab the smooth marble behind you for some support. With one hand pushing up the oversized tee you were wearing in lieu of pyjamas, the other circled round to grab your ass. He began to lay soft kisses all along your inner thigh; palming at your breast, eliciting a wanton moan from you which served to spur him on further. How long had it been since he had touched you like this? Been rested enough to even think about playing with you. You can’t remember. One of his favourite things to do is to trail his tongue along the lightning bolt-like marks across the fat of your thighs. He loves to feel the way you shiver at the touch. He doesn’t do this for long though – or rather, he can’t. The gentle licks soon turn to bites. His fingers toy with your nipple. You feel his nose poke at your skin while he’s biting and nipping at the fat of your thighs. They’ll be littered with dark purple marks tomorrow.  He tugs down at the boyshorts you’re wearing and starts to lick at your folds. His left hand switches to the other breast and you raise your hand to place it on top of his. He laps at the wetness that’s formed through his ministrations; his tongue going a little deeper with each lick. 

“Minmin…” There it is again. Your special name for him. No one else would dare to call him that. Not even Gojo and Itadori, to whom he begrudgingly allowed a ‘Nanamin’. He focuses on you. Your shaky breaths, the faint quivering of your thighs, your fingers clenching the countertop. With every new lick, you clasp a little tighter. A single bead of your slick runs down your inner thigh and he smirks. 

“Having trouble staying upright, my love?” His deep voice comes from between your legs. Your whimper is all the answer he needs. He straightens up and leads you to the living room couch. “I want to do this properly. I’ve missed tasting you so much.” he tells you with a sigh. 

You nod, getting on your toes to kiss him. “I wanna taste you too Ken…” comes the whisper against his lips. “Fuck, lie down please,” you beg. 

He grabs your face squeezing your cheeks and plants a small peck on your lips. “You have a filthy mouth miss. I think we need to take care of that.” 

That makes you giggle and him smile. He knows you swear like a sailor and sometimes in the bedroom, you would be punished for it. However, that didn’t seem to be the case this time. No. This time he was allowing you to have what you wanted. How could he deny his sweet girl after all? He lies back on the couch, shifting a cushion to support his head, and pulls your ass toward him. You carefully straddle his chest taking care not to knee him in the process and start to palm at his crotch. He’s already half-hard. Probably has been since he started working on you; ridiculously turned on by your bare flesh. You pull the band of his sweatpants off while he continues licking you. The new position opens you up to him much better and he hums appreciatively. “You have such a pretty pussy baby girl.” His hands grab your asscheeks forcing you closer. There’s a shift in the dynamic. You can feel it. Hands, a little rougher. Voice, a little lower. 

“It’s all for you daddy...” You offer to your dom. It may have been a while since you had had a chance to play but these were responses, now ingrained in you. 

“Good girl.” 

You know you can’t play around now. No more soft touches and teasing. Your tongue out, you lick a strip up Nanami’s length. He groans into your pussy and pushes his tongue further. You keep, licking and sucking his cock, feeling it grow to full hardness. Nanami’s fingers gently prod at your hole. “Put it in daddy!” You whine to him, needing more. “Please!” And he obliges, slowly pushing in one thick finger. You keen and drool against his length. Nanami has the sexiest hands. And his fingers are long and thick. Perfect preparation for the fat shaft in front of you. 

“Take me in your mouth baby girl,” he tells you encouragingly. So you do. Taking his cock in your mouth you begin to pump it in and out, following the rhythm he creates with his fingers. In and out, working his way deeper and deeper into your cunt. His tongue reaches to your clit and touches the nub softly. It feels almost electric.  Your lips stretch around Nanami's wideness taking him in right to the base till you gag on him. You take care not to touch him with your teeth except to perhaps gently graze. His tongue laps at your folds and he rubs your clit with two fingers. You can feel a familiar sensation building. Something that you’ve only felt alone for a while now but that feels heightened with your partner here. Without realising it your hips roll, pushing into his mouth and making his nose bump against your nub. Its filthy, you’re dripping down his face but he can’t stop either. He jerks his hips up to bury his cock down your throat. Your whole body clenches, desperately trying to keep it in. Keep in buried. You lift a hand and fondle his balls, feeling him twitch slightly in your mouth. His pace doesn’t change though. Steady as ever, knowing just how to make you cum. A little faster exactly as you like. 

You cum first. With a sharp intake of breath and a strangled cry for your daddy. Your body twitches as you ride out your high on his face. Nanami’s cock lies in your hand engorged and throbbing for release. Without waiting for a word from you Nanami taps your ass signalling you to get off. He sits upright on the couch and removes his sweatpants folding them and putting them on the coffee table in front of you. Then, he pulls you onto his lap facing him. “Sit on it darling.” he orders. You follow. Your legs feel like jelly. You’re grateful for his supportive hand making sure you get onto the couch and are in position with your trembling cunt right above him.

“Do we need lube?” He asks you. You don’t think so, but with how large Nanami is its always better to be safe than sorry.

“I dont wanna stop and I’m pretty wet but it wouldnt be a bad idea.” you tell him. He kisses you. 

“Wait here.” he says. Nanami helps you sit on the couch and strides into your bedroom to fetch it from his night stand. If you could have, you'd have followed him but you don’t quite trust your legs to move your body right now. Your complaint doesn't last long though, because when Nanami returns, you’re blessed with a view of an adonis. Long legs, muscular torso, strong arms. Your breath hitches in your throat and tears prick at your eyes. 

You put your arms out and gasp out, “You’re so fucking beautiful Minmin.” Your voice brimming with pride and adoration. Your words strike close to Nanami’s heart. He is not a man easily swayed by praise. But from your lips, he would drink every word like a parched man. You knew how much it would mean to him especially after the incident at Shibuya too; he knew you were not one to lie. To you, he truly was beautiful – the world be damned that’s all that mattered. He stalks over to you on the couch, his hand encircling your throat. Its not dangerous, but comforting. A way of showing his claim over his lover. His lips crash into yours and you can tast yourself on his face. He kisses you with fervour. His tongue glides into your mouth in a delicate dance with yours, and you reciprocate intoxicated by the heat and heaviness of his hands on you. 

Nanami sits down pulling you onto him once again. He makes quick work of the oversized tee you still had on. Throwing it this time, onto some surface – you did not care to notice. His lips drop down to your neck, and you feel dizzy, your whole body seems to thrum with anticipation. With one hand he deftly flicks open the lube squirting out a well sized dollop onto his cock, the other wraps around you to hold you in place. Then, throwing the bottle aside he lifts your hips and helps you sit, slowly pushing his rock-like shaft into you, inch by inch. The lube is cold to the touch and contrasts against the heat of your worked out cunt, but you are grateful for it. The feeling of the stretch as he pushs further and further in is deliciously tight,  bordering on being painful. Your fingers card his blonde hair as you slowly adjust to his length and girth. Every inch of you feels stuffed. Nanami’s lips suck and nibble at the skin of your throat. His arms hold you close making sure you won’t fall over. You move your hips. A passionate raw fucking is what the both of you want now. No niceties, no politeness. You’re both overcome with need and affection – making for a dangerous blend. Nanamis mouth drops to your breast. His lips encircle a nipple and he sucks and bites, drawing out gasps from you. He can feel your cunt convulsing around his cock with every move you make. Up. Down. Up. Down. You know his orgasm is slowly building. He thrusts up into you, driving his cock deep. Slamming against your clit. The pleasure you feel is terrible and judging by the blissed out expression on his face he feels the same way. You swear there is nothing in the whole world left but just the two of you. In that moment it becomes too much for him. Nanami lifts you up in his strong arms. Your fat thighs, spilling over his them. He keeps licking and sucking at your breasts leaving marks wherever his teeth can reach, as he carries you into the bedroom almost slamming you onto the bed as he fucks into you, splitting you open on his cock. You see stars as he buries himself into the hilt, frantic, slamming in over and over. You grab his  hair and tug on it – a silent plea for him to come up – to kiss you. He growls feeling the pull. Nanami bucks into you and kneads at your breast as he captures your lips once again. You feel his hands coax your legs up and you’re forced to spread them wider apart to accommodate his broad body. Your tummy jiggles every time he slams into you and you start to feel yourself coming to a peak once more. Nanami holds the flesh of your thighs and fucks you with a steady pace. 

“My pretty girl. My good girl.” His voice is barely over a whisper but you hear the words over your whines and moans. “I’m gonna cum babygirl. Where do you want it?” he asks. 

“Inside. Please!” you beg. You need to be filled by him. You want the feeling of him emptying inside your cunt. Nanami’s cock spasms inside your hole. You feel his release spill inside you, coating your walls. 

He lies down beside you breathing heavily. His chest rising and falling, glistening with sweat. The blissed out expression on your faces along with the heady scent of sex in the room makes the two of you feel warm. It’s intoxicating. You crawl into his open arms and nuzzle against his side, and he captures you in an embrace. “I fucking love you old man…” you whisper to him. 

He laughs. “I love you too baby girl.” Your fingers trail against the pink skin of his scars. And you lay kiss after kiss on his body as your hand wanders. There’s a smile on Nanami's face. His heart is full. Full of you, and your love… 

˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖

When the two of you leave the bedroom the sun has risen higher in the sky. But that’s alright… You cuddled together, then had a quick warm shower. Nanami’s arms enveloping you helping you wash your hair, and of course, cleaning the mess he made. Your two cups of tea lie forgotten in the kitchen. As you enter you laugh. “Hey, we never even finished our tea!” 

Nanami smiles. “I’ll get us some more. Oh and I’ve –” he waves his phone at you, “– ordered some brunch. Sandwiches.” 

You curl up on the couch and he bring you both the freshly brewed tea cuddling into your lap. Whenever he did this you couldn’t help but feel like one of those people with a big dog who didn’t really know how big he is. Of course, you didn’t mind. He’s here. With you. Safe and protected. Nothing can hurt him here. 

He looks at you adoringly. “Baby, how about we take a trip to Kuantan? I hear they have lovely beaches.”

The End.

Natsuki: Truth to be told, the phone call that I had when we were having a teatime before was actually about this job. Haruka: Eh…really? Natsuki: That's right.

Event Translation - Spotlight ~St Flora Side~ (Part 3)

Muku: This peach tea smells lovely!

Homare: Indeed. The Darjeeling tea is likewise very delicious.

Yuki: Anyway, back to what we were talking about. Don't act pompous and just say it.

Homare: Of course.

Now then, I shall tell you the story of my oh-so painfully beautiful memories of the Chorus Contest!

When I was in middle school, I was active in the Chorus Club, making use of my gorgeous soprano.

Everyone listened to my singing with rapt attention.

Of course, I too loved my own singing.

However, a short while after entering high school, my voice grew hoarse for some reason, and I wasn't able to sing in soprano.

At first I thought I had caught a cold, but my voice never quite returned.

Right. It wasn't a cold… my voice was breaking.

"Has it finally happened…?"

My gorgeous soprano was gone, and I retired from the Chorus Club.

I was a canary who'd lost his song…

But even so, I had to participate in the Chorus Contest.

I can't stay sad forever-

With that in mind, I faced the contest with my heart and soul.

And as a result, although the grand prize escaped me, I came to think my current voice wasn't so bad…

No, rather, I came to think it was even better.

Homare: Like the leaves changing colour in autumn, change comes to everyone equally.

It can certainly be perplexing at times. But, there is no need to be sad.

They are all our precious, lovable selves…

The Chorus Contest held in my first year of high school taught me that, and so I find it especially memorable.

Yuki: Your voice changing can't be helped, but it's just like you to pick yourself right back up.

Muku: I think that's a wonderful memory! Plus, I love the singing voice you have now.

Homare: Ooh, if you're going to say that, I suppose I have no choice… I shall sing a song for you right now!

Muku: Th-that's…

Yuki: Absolutely not.

Homare: Hm, really? Another time, then.

Yuki: More importantly, don't you have any, Muku? Y'know, memories of the Chorus Contest.

Muku: Eh, me!?

Homare: If it's alright, I too would like to hear what you have to say.

Muku: Umm…

There was something that left an impression on me, during one of the contests in middle school…

Muku: (I have to return the textbook I borrowed from one of the kids in the class next door.)

Ah… I can hear singing.

(Are they practicing for the Chorus Contest? I might interrupt them if I go in now…)

(Wait, they stopped…?)

Female Student: C'mon, boys! Take this more seriously!

Male Student A: The third years are gonna win the grand prize anyway, practicing is pointless.

Male Student B: Yeah yeah, you've gotta be stupid to take this seriously.

Female Student: What was that!?

Muku: (Awawa, it sounds like they're having an argument!)

(Things might get physical at this rate…! What should I do!?)

Yuki: Losers.

Male Student A: Hah? So you're siding with the girls, huh, Rurikawa?

Male Student B: You really are just like one.

Yuki: I don't see what gender has to do with this.

I just think people who can only make excuses when they're scared of losing are uncool. That's all.

Male Student A: …Tch.

Male Student B: Hmph…

Muku: --

What's your flavor of tea?

In a quiet corner of their home, Michele and Memphis sat together, as they often did in the evenings. The room was warm with the scent of Darjeeling tea, their mugs resting on the worn wooden magazine table between them. Outside, the autumn leaves whispered against the window, carried by a soft wind.

“You know,” Memphis began, staring at his tea as if the answer might swirl up from its depths, “sometimes I wonder if everything we’re trying to understand about existence is like chasing the horizon. The closer you get, the further it moves.

”Michele smiled gently, leaning back into the sofa. “Perhaps it’s not about catching the horizon. Maybe it’s about finding beauty in the chase.

”He glanced at her, his brow furrowed. “But don’t you find it maddening? The theory of everything—the idea that there’s a single explanation for why all of this exists. The universe, life, thought… even us.

”She tilted her head thoughtfully. “Do you think the big bang already contained all the potential futures? Like a seed holds a tree, every branch and leaf predetermined before it even sprouts?

”Memphis chuckled. “So, you’re asking if life was inevitable? If we were always meant to be here, pondering questions like this over tea?”

“And,” she added with a playful glint in her eye, “if the universe wanted to create beings who could look back at it and say, ‘Hey, what’s the deal with all this?"

They both laughed, a warm, easy sound that carried the weight of decades spent together.

“But what if we’re the only life ever to exist?” Memphis asked softly, his voice turning serious. “What if all this—every star, every galaxy—exists just for us to wonder about it?”

“That’s terrifying,” Michele admitted. “But isn’t it just as scary to think we might not be alone? That there could be beings out there—aliens—far more advanced than we are? What would they think of us? Would we even matter to them?

”Memphis sipped his tea and gazed out the window, where the night sky stretched endlessly above. “I think the scariest thing is the unknown. But that’s also where the wonder lies. Every time we think we’ve peeled back a layer of truth, we find another veil underneath. Like… why are there so many languages? Did humanity once share one tongue, or did we invent different ones to feel less alone?”

“Or because the planet wanted us to,” Michele mused, her voice almost a whisper. “Maybe Earth created humans as a way to grow its own consciousness. We’re just worker bees in its hive."

Memphis raised an eyebrow. “Then who’s the queen? God?

”Michele shrugged. “Maybe. Or maybe it’s turtles all the way down."

Memphis laughed again, but it was softer this time, tinged with the awe that often accompanied these conversations. “And if God exists, does God believe in something greater too? Is there a reason even for God’s existence?”

“Maybe God was created by a question,” Michele offered, her words delicate. “A question so powerful it needed to become an answer.

”They sat in silence for a moment, their thoughts spinning out like galaxies in their minds. The warmth of the room seemed to hold them gently, a small sanctuary amid the vastness of their ponderings.

Memphis reached for her hand, and she met him halfway. “You know,” he said, his voice steady, “I don’t think we’ll ever have all the answers. But I’m glad I get to ask these questions with you."

Michele smiled, her eyes soft and filled with love. “Maybe that’s the point. To have someone to wonder with."

As the night deepened, they stayed there, hand in hand, their hearts and minds tethered by the same unyielding curiosity that had drawn them together so many years ago. Through the veils of reality and learned truths, they searched not for answers but for each other, and in that, they found meaning enough.

Regional Specialties: Discovering the Unique Tea Varieties Across India

India, renowned for its diverse tea culture, offers an array of tea varieties that reflect its rich geography and varied climates. From the misty hills of Darjeeling to the tropical plains of Assam, each region produces teas with distinct flavors, aromas, and characteristics. Exploring the unique tea varieties across India provides a fascinating insight into how local conditions and traditions influence tea production. Here’s a journey through some of India’s most celebrated regional چای کرک, each showcasing its own special qualities and heritage.

Darjeeling: The Champagne of Teas

Nestled in the Himalayan foothills, Darjeeling is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest teas. Often referred to as the "Champagne of Teas," Darjeeling tea is celebrated for its delicate, nuanced flavors and floral aroma. The tea is grown at elevations ranging from 600 to 2,000 meters, where the cool, misty climate and rich soil contribute to its unique profile.

Darjeeling tea is typically categorized into three flushes or harvests. The First Flush, harvested in early spring, yields a light, floral tea with a subtle astringency. The Second Flush, picked in late spring to early summer, produces a more robust, full-bodied tea with the distinctive muscatel flavor. The Autumnal Flush offers a richer, smoother taste. Each flush has its own character, providing tea enthusiasts with a diverse range of flavors throughout the year.

Assam: The Bold and Malty Brew

Located in northeastern India, Assam is the largest tea-growing region in the country, known for its bold, robust teas. The region’s low-lying, tropical climate, combined with rich, alluvial soil, creates ideal conditions for producing strong, malty teas. Assam tea is characterized by its brisk, full-bodied flavor and dark amber liquor, making it a popular choice for breakfast blends and masala chai.

Assam tea comes in both orthodox and CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) varieties. Orthodox Assam tea is hand-processed, resulting in larger, whole leaves and a more nuanced flavor. CTC Assam tea, on the other hand, is machine-processed, producing smaller, crushed leaves that brew quickly and are commonly used in tea bags. The boldness of Assam tea pairs well with milk and sugar, enhancing its rich flavor.

Nilgiri: The Southern Gem

In the southern part of India, the Nilgiri Hills, located in Tamil Nadu, produce Nilgiri tea, known for its smooth, aromatic, and slightly fruity flavor. Grown at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 meters, Nilgiri tea benefits from a cooler climate and well-drained soil. The tea’s clarity and bright, golden color make it a favorite for iced teas and blends.

Nilgiri tea is harvested year-round, providing a consistent flavor profile throughout the seasons. Its smoothness and subtle sweetness make it an excellent choice for those who prefer a lighter, more refined cup of tea. The versatility of Nilgiri tea also makes it a popular base for flavored and blended teas.

Kangra: The Hidden Treasure

The Kangra Valley in Himachal Pradesh, located in the western Himalayas, produces a lesser-known but equally intriguing tea. Kangra tea, grown at high altitudes in a cool, temperate climate, is noted for its light, crisp flavor with floral and muscatel notes. The region’s unique terroir imparts a distinct character to the tea, which is often compared to Darjeeling but with its own unique twist.

Kangra tea is typically processed using orthodox methods, resulting in whole, well-shaped leaves that brew to a bright, golden liquor. The tea’s delicate flavor and aroma make it a delightful choice for those who appreciate lighter, more refined teas.

Munnar: The Tea Gardens of Kerala

In the southern state of Kerala, the Munnar region is renowned for its scenic tea estates and high-quality tea. Munnar tea is grown at altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 meters, where the cool, misty climate and rich soil contribute to its unique flavor profile. Munnar tea is characterized by its bright, brisk taste with hints of fruitiness and a slightly floral aroma.

The tea produced in Munnar is primarily orthodox, with large, well-processed leaves that produce a clean, refreshing cup. The region’s tea estates also focus on sustainable and organic farming practices, contributing to the high quality and purity of the tea. Munnar tea is often enjoyed plain or with a touch of milk, highlighting its natural flavors.

The Diversity of Indian Tea

India’s tea regions each bring their own unique qualities to the table, reflecting the country’s diverse landscapes and climates. From the floral elegance of Darjeeling to the robust strength of Assam, the smoothness of Nilgiri, the crispness of Kangra, and the freshness of Munnar, Indian teas offer a wide range of flavors and experiences.

Understanding these regional specialties provides a deeper appreciation for the artistry and tradition of tea production in India. Each tea variety is a testament to the influence of its environment, culture, and production methods, offering a rich tapestry of flavors for tea enthusiasts to explore and enjoy. Whether you’re a seasoned tea drinker or new to the world of Indian teas, discovering these regional specialties is a journey worth taking, one cup at a time.
