Maybe I'm being nitpicky but the character who has been drinking primarily oolong tea saying he gave up caffeine for health reasons doesn't make a lot of sense. Oolong tea has less caffeine than coffee (nearly half the amount), but it's still between black and green tea caffeine content wise.

Not sure about the writing in this one, there's a lot of needless repetition. The back cover summary hasn't been entirely accurate either.

Does "a plain black tea" mean something different in England because she offered him three teas that aren't black tea 🤨
