Three days running, Gwak Sun-deok keeps asking why the tea tastes different. The water's the same, the leaves are the same. I suppose this is what happens when your hand shakes less.
Don't go blaming the tea water. The time you spend sitting by the hearth grows longer by the day.
A tea house whose taste changes finds its guests changing too. If any of them drift my way, I'll take them in kindly.
