Summary
The Esteemed Lady of the Tea Garden
After being unadopted three times, Camellia is determined to stand on her own and applies for a position at the famous Bloomberry Tea Garden. Though there are unsavory rumors surrounding the owner, Brandon Worthing, the people of his estate treat her surprisingly well, as if she’s a noble lady instead of a mere employee. But regardless of these puzzling circumstances, Camellia flourishes in her new role as a tea maker, moving people’s hearts with her special blends. Little does she know that there’s a reason why Brandon hired her, and that their history goes back much further than she thought…

A story for the tea-obsessed!
If you love a story where they confront & resolve every other challenge through their specially brewed teas- this is for you! If you don’t care about the story’s main focus being tea and NOT on the character’s past connections to each other who one doesn’t remember or it’s other super natural elements- this is for YOU! Those’re the reasons I ended up disappointed because I thought this story was going an entirely different route up until chapter 7-9 or so. And that’s why I’m leaving this warning to save the time of anyone else whose cup of tea it isn’t (yeah, pun intended! I feel like it’s perfectly fitting of this overly tea focused story)

(I originally wrote this below one of the chapters but to give people a better idea of what to expect before they start reading)-
I knew this story was obsessed with tea but didn’t realize it would be the main focus even more than the supernatural part of the plot!
I was staying for that part- if I had known sooner they were gonna hastily stick the answers to that supernatural stuff that I care about more randomly here and there, I probably wouldn’t have even read this far, it felt chopped up and like it’s not the main focus, like bad writing in movies & shows when they randomly squeeze in such important details instead of giving them proper place before quickly moving on- most stories for smooth flow do it in the intro OR if they don’t- have a proper explanation all at once when they do the big reveal- this story dropped only half of one major part out of nowhere where it didn’t even completely make sense before moving on.
I wish they’d prioritized the supernatural stuff over the tea but this author is clearly obsessed with tea which hey I’m not blaming them, they can do what want it is their story, I’m just disappointed- it felt like they could’ve done so much more with this story and like it was going somewhere else.
