@Albania1308 Those are just raws that was ripped from kakao and they usually have humongous watermarks so... I'll just wait patiently 🙂

Hey! I love your story and the art always draws my eyes! Great work! Also quick question, in the story, how long has she and the duke been married before she asked to have tea? Just wondering and thanks again for the intriguing story! :)

The Duke doesn't seem all that bad? Just not really there... and well, yeah, a bit of a jerk for not really caring what his wife wants... or assuming she only wants jewels or dresses. But I mean, he's not as bad as other jerk MLs, imo.

Also, I can't help relating to Chloe, since I'm so shy/timid just like her, and I just want to be liked by everyone. My personality is really passive... sigh.

I really like it! <3
And I really want to see more interactions between the duke and the duchess. And when will the duchess take back the household from underlings??? Come on, you can do it!

Seems like a 'revenge fantasy' type with a twist. It has potential but it might not age too well, I can see them taking way too long to resolve this or not knowing what to do after they resolve it. It can be really nice if they explore more the arranged marriage aspect of it, or maybe they'll start selling tea and this could add another life to the plot. We'll see but I like the art and exposition so far.

Many thanks for the translation.

This series does not seem particularly good, irrespective of the mangling of tea history and culture just for an office lady's fantasy and applying korean cultural norms onto historical european high society is fraught with obstacles.
By england she probably means london or the south east, any place that sits over limestone has a problem with hard water from all the dissolved minerals, there is actually regional variation in tea brand popularity because of how they react to the water.

there are some quite interesting theories on the cultural effect of tea brewing as a means to make water drinkable instead of beer and the building of large cities.
Alan Macfarlane is always worth a listen to.

For a moment I thought this series would be inspired by Catherine of Braganza. The queen that made England love tea.

Lol the Duke is intrigued! Now he'll try it and fall for her! I love that she's slowly collecting people loyal to her, Ellie, the knights, the butler. Join Team Duchess! We've got tea!

Duchess may have to fired that falling noble head-maid if she wants peace in the mansion. Now she need to find a way to make money with her recipes. So she can stand own her own two feet with the Duke.
