Who Is This For
I still remember walking into my first tea shop in Chinatown. Walls lined with tins, none of them labeled in English, and a shopkeeper who asked me what kind of tea I wanted. I said 'green tea.' He laughed — gently — and told me there were over a hundred kinds of green tea alone. I walked out with a bag of something I couldn't pronounce and no idea what I'd just bought. That confusion stuck with me, and it's exactly why this section exists. I want you to never feel that lost.
