@bbclearningenglish “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." John Keats Thank you so much for this amazing lesson. I am ever so taken with the sophisticated English love of all things beauty. In Munich we have the amazing "Victorian House", my favourite English tea room to delve into the English culture on a sunny afternoon. Take care, from 🦋 M. with love

Hello I am enjoying a cup of tea right now, in the morning, in Vietnam. In my living place, growing tea is a way that local people earn their income. In fact, tea here is very famous in the country thanks to the atmosphere and the soil. There are 2 kinds of tea. The first one is the qualified tea, with daily take care of them. The local people utilise fertilizer and manure to make the tea grow successfully. The second one is local people leave tea trees that grow naturally in the hills. Of course, the tea leaves don't look as good as the first one. However, you will feel authentic enjoying a cup of tea (bitter at first and then a bit sweet in your mouth). Thanks for reading.

From 2006😮😮😮😮 I feel the background music is kinda old-fashioned. But the content is very interesting❤. And it is definitely interesting to know what was happening in 2006 in London ☺️.
