Locals, from a tea culture, are still adjusting to a beverage that initially tastes like traditional medicine prescribed by a cruel doctor.

After all, a sign of a successful economy is thousands of people commuting, unable to start their day without paper cups in hand. Careful, though, the beverage you're about to enjoy is extremely hot!
