Not for all the tea in China

[misteral]

My A-level students arrived back in classes today, just two weeks after the rest of the country. Such are the perks of teaching at a place that has mainly international students. And one of these students, a very polite young man from China, gave me a gift. Some proper, authentic Chinese tea leaves

Is there a teacher's lounge or some other sort of communal area where you work? At previous work places, people would leave treats out for everyone to enjoy. Maybe you could leave the tea there?

That's pretty much what I'd planned to do, actually.

Give them to me?

[misteral]

Sure. Let me know when you're coming round to collect it.

At least you weren't given coffee in a teapot

I see what you did there.
