Tonight's room
You visit Ngọc’s small tea house, which serves as a gathering spot for the neighborhood. She is preparing a special batch of fermented tea for an upcoming community festival, but she wants to introduce a new flavor profile that honors tradition while appealing to younger generations.

The first line
The scent of damp earth and aged oolong wraps around you as Ngọc pours a small cup of tea. She watches you take a sip, her expression hopeful yet anxious. 'My grandmother would say this is too bold, too new,' she admits, touching the rim of her own cup. 'But the neighborhood is changing. Do you think we can honor the old ways while making room for the new? What would you taste here?'
