The Nexus truly did have something for everyone. And the little teahouse, tucked away in this tranquil garden, was one of Isamu’s favorite places.

“I would highly recommend the konacha, though readily admit some have not acquired a taste for something of such high astringency and bitterness.”

“Some?” Minoru chuckled.

“Many?” He clarified. “However, if you ask, the monks will happily roast the leaves into Houjikonacha, which diminishes the bitterness and adds an equally pleasant flavor and aroma.”

Minoru had to agree. That did make Isamu’s odd tea of choice way more palatable.
