Here's something funny...I’ve sat on this bench several times not knowing that the bench belongs to a tea house. I actually have several pics too. Well...now I know! And now you know & can sample teas from @tecompany ! ☕️ They have a little outdoor seating area as well & just opened their tea room for takeaway treats & teas. As I dug deeper into this shop I realized their name “Te” is very familiar. The reason it’s so familiar to me is that “Te” means tea in Hokkien, a Chinese dialect originating from Southern Fujian. That’s where my ancestors came from. It’s a dialect used by many. The origin of the language dates back to the Hoklo people. The language is spoken predominantly in Taiwan, mainland China, and many parts of Southeast Asia. I grew up in a family who drinks tea daily. It was part of my childhood. I had my first taste of tea at the age of 4. I used to dunk Marie Biscuits in my tea. It was a daily thing & the memory stuck with me. No..no...I did not grow up in a pretentious household. Tea was & is a part of my culture. Hmm...now that I look back I think my great grandparents, grandparents had tea with every meal. It was an everyday thing. I remember waking up when my grandma was up, at 4am & sat with her while she had toast & a hot cup of tea. I would just stare at her...didn’t talk, just sat there and used to remember thinking 🤔 “I wonder what grandma is thinking?” Lol...maybe she was thinking “stop staring” lol 😂!!! Looking back, those were precious and priceless moments. ❤️ So my love of teas came way before coffee & till today, I love having a nice hot cup of tea. Ok, there you have it...my little story on my ancestral language, how I was introduced to tea and a little glimpse of my grandma. Happy Friday everyone!! Enjoy the start to your weekend!!😁🧡 . . . . . . #stopmotion #cafehopping #westvillagenyc #westvillagelife #thisisnewyorkcity #westvillage #greenwichvillagenyc #greenwichvillage #timeoutnewyork #picturesofnewyork #made_in_ny #streetsofnewyork #prettycitynewyork #newyorkarea #coffeecakescafe #facadelovers #facade #urbansketchers #made_in_ny #chasing_facades」10月30日 22時42分
