Melody knew that since Truman allowed her to choose freely, any tea she picked would definitely be new. 

Given this, even if it was tricky to distinguish between old and new tea, she could still make the right call. 

Everyone quickly caught on, but many believed she was only able to make that choice because the Moore family had made it easy for her. 

If Melody had been given a random selection of teas, they thought, she likely would not be able to tell the difference between old and new. 

This just reinforced the idea that Melody was not as skilled as Amanda. 

Amanda glanced at Melody’s chosen tea, a flicker of disdain crossing her face. 

Hmph, just as I thought–no real talent there. 

After choosing their teas, Amanda took the lead in brewing. 

The tea–brewing art of the Aetherian empire differed from modern practices. The Aetherian era, which focused on “civil governance,” saw a rise in the literati culture, which promoted the Four Arts: tea brewing, flower arranging, incense burning, and painting. 

Of these, tea brewing had reached its pinnacle, with an emphasis on elegance and refinement. 

Amanda began the intricate process of preparing the tea–crushing the leaves, grinding, sieving, storing the powder, arranging the tea tray, stirring, and brewing. 

Each movement was careful and deliberate, turning the process into a mesmerizing display of Aetherian tea culture. 

Her graceful, precise motions had everyone in awe. 

“Amanda truly is Old Mr. Jenson’s granddaughter. Her tea brewing skills are like something out of at textbook. The aroma is rich and sweet–it’s captivating, even without tasting it!” 

“Such meticulous technique! It’s no wonder modern people find it hard to immerse themselves in this kind of process.” 

“What is Melody doing? Did she mess up the steps? I’ve never seen anyone brew tea like this–according to historical records, this method doesn’t exist…‘

Meanwhile, people started noticing Melody’s brewing method, which looked completely different. 

At first, when Melody skipped the initial grinding step, everyone assumed she had made a mistake. 

As experts in tea culture, they recognized the traditional methods.

Chapter 193 Melody’s Unconventional Methods 

What kind of messy tea brewing method is this? 

She’s really a country bumpkin–can she even handle these tools properly? 

In the second step, Melody started grinding the tea.

Everyone watched closely, assuming she had noticed Amanda’s proper technique and was now “copying” her steps. 

Then came the third step–sieving the tea–followed by warming the cup and brewing. 

Wait, these steps are completely different from Amanda’s! 

Their initial disdain began to shift into a more serious curiosity. 

“Why did she start pouring water so soon?” 

“She’s pouring water again. Does she even know what she’s doing?” 

“Her steps are odd, but the fragrance is spreading … This is strange!” 

“It feels like there’s a pattern to her technique, though. Let’s keep watching.” 

The crowd continued observing, now unsure of what to expect. 

Even the old man who had been quietly inspecting the celadon cups Amanda had handed out now turned his attention to Melody, his expression brightening. 

Meanwhile, Truman, rubbing the corner of the table absentmindedly, found himself more nervous watching Melody than he would be if he were brewing the tea himself. 

Melody remained poised, her face calm as she stirred the tea paste with a whisk, her slender wrist gradually increasing in strength. 

When she poured water the first time, she did so in a circular motion along the cup’s edge, smoothly blending the tea.
