Name: Té (茶)
| Originating in the Minnan dialects of Fujian province, the pronunciation of the character '茶' - tea - is "té", in the Amoy dialect. Amoy (Xiamen) was an important port, and so the word "tea" in Dutch, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Hungarian and Latin is based on the pronunciation "té". |
Gender: Genderfluid (she/her and they/them)
What does this plumie love to collect and why?:
To put it simply, tea! Té's collection is an attempt at gathering together every type of tea in the world. She's pretty close already, and would describe herself as a 'tea connoisseur'! This Plumerian loves to discover the lush cultural backgrounds, rituals and histories of the drink we take for granted. Her big goal is, of course, the legendary first flush Da Hong Pao, from the oolong family, which grows in the high altitude of China's Fujian province where the leaves are picked from three legendary bushes. It is extremely rare and globally recognised as the most expensive tea in the world. Té would one day love to complete her collection of tea-related things by drinking Da Hong Pao. Of course, she'd have to keep a little someplace special as well, like a precious locket... Or a bank vault, more likely. It is more expensive than gold, after all.
