'Gosh! Do rich people spend money to suffer like that?'
Eevonne shut her lips as tightly as she could.
"Is it very bitter?" Ruth asked, smiling.
Eevonne nodded. "I'm sorry, Missus Ford and Miss Mann. I. It's not that I haven't had coffee before. It's just that the coffee that I had before was those with milk and plenty of sugar added. This is my first time having such pure and bitter coffee without anything added at all..."
Ruth smiled again. "Pay attention to the back of your tongue now then. Is it still... bitter?"
When Eevonne was talking, she already
sensed it. Why did she feel that a little bit of aroma was slowly emerging from the back of her tongue?
There...was even a little bit of sweetness. It was not the kind that was too strong.
Instead, it was very subtle and it made you reflect on the taste. However, when you truly were to pay attention to the aftertaste, you would not be able to catch it. It would make a person...space out. It would also slowly make a person happy. It was really good.
Eevonne looked at Ruth and Sabrina with her eyes widened. "What...what is the brand of this coffee? Why is it so delicious?"
Sabrina smiled. "Doesn't it taste bitter at first but then sweet after that? Also, the sweetness at the end makes you want to keep savoring it?"
Eevonne nodded. "Mm-hmm. Yes."
