Read it the way you would read a room you once loved.
不是味道的清單 — 是一連串你以為自己早已忘記的畫面。

Like an old song playing in another room: you cannot make out the words, yet you know exactly who is singing.

By the third steep, someone always remembers their father.
喝到第三泡，會有人想起自己的父親。
Cool jasmine, river silver, the breath of cedar — a forest exhaling under a full moon.
