I do agree on the points people are making about the plot/romance being all over the place, but the most frustrating thing for me is how many pages are dedicated to talking about tea!!
I’m at chapter 51 and it’s chapter after chapter people testing different kinds of tea and going “ahh it’s aromatic”, “ahh it’s fruity”, “omg it’s so fragrant" it’s so repetitive and getting boring tbh
Compared to all the other plot points that could be explored, like her character development and all the issues she had, her job, or the fact that she’s from a different world, or building a relationship with her husband/friends etc etc, it’s going nope let’s mostly talk about different kinds of tea!! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

    After a I passed chapter 50 I started ignoring the scenes about tea and peoples reactions on tea...... Its getting boring and for me, its a waste of time to read. I mean their reactions are always the same.

    This is satire right? This book is literally called 50 teas and the only reason why their relationship happened was due to the fact that she asked the duke for tea

    That’s what everyone is saying my dude that’s the problem, every thing magically gets solved by drinking tea or just gets brushed off!
    I don’t care that there’s information about tea, but the issue is “the title” literally outweighs anything else (drama, romance and the non existent fantasy)
    In fact the genre prolly should be something like food/drink/history/horticulture

    Hm? I mean, this story about tea, right? "The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes"

    Yessss, I've begun skimming tho the chapters because of this! I understand that the title is literally about tea but thats that, it's just something to grab your attention and give you a little taste it's not something that should be constantly focused on at least this far in the story because at this point this whole story is about tea, literally if we cut out the chunks that talk about tea we would be reading basically a comic strip in the funny section of a news paper (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
    Please give us more character development if you wanna talk about tea, make a small section at the bottom of the story for that, where you can reference back to each tea that's brought up and give it deeper facts and stories. That way you can have your tea facts and whoever likes learning about it can still have a chance to read about tea

    LMAO I feel so conflicted cuz I actually enjoy, in an unexpected and really deep way, all the talk about tea and I LOVE the colors and drawings for teas... AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE TEA IRL PLS, but now I wanna try tea all because of this. BUT. I agree with all these comments and I can't stop laughing cuz y'all right, hence I'm conflicted

    Oh well, in the end it's a relaxing story with not so many complications nor dramas, too happy and easy going but that's soothing and necessary from time to time. Like a good and relaxing cup of tea... Jkjkjk

    I’m the opposite actually! I drink tea every day, can’t live without it
    True it’s an easy read and the tea art is nice too :)
