Keeps an aroma journal of purchased teas and distinguishes batches using personal labels.
Cultural context
Fragrant Sample Sorter / Collection
Aroma journal: a short ink-blue top, a white apron with two pockets at different heights and a sage-green lower garment. Raises a small open tea caddy towards the face; the lid is attached and the dry tea stays inside. One elbow points outwards, while a second, closed sample is secured in a pocket.
An invitation to tea: a lavender-grey quilted jacket with a rounded collar and cream trousers. Offers a closed packet of jasmine tea to the side, supporting it from below with a paw. Smiles towards the viewer; no apron or production gesture.
The jasmine-leaf maker pauses while separating flowers after scenting. Both paws support a wide sieve of dark tea and remaining pale petals, with terracotta overalls leaving room to move.
00 / Original form
A tall, rounded white tea droplet with a narrowing chin; one small, thick, closed leaf loop at the back of the crown. A short capsule-shaped torso and small paws. Large, attentive grey-jade eyes.
