The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes - Ch. 5

I'm skeptical of Ellie's claim that beverage cultures only took off in Europe because European water was bad. I don't think there's any culture on real Earth that doesn't have some kind of traditional herbal tea drink. And the Camellia sinensis tea plant that grew popular in Europe came from East Asia, where it was already a popular recreational drink.
 
I don’t know if I’m a huge fan of this one.

It seems rather unbelievable that common maids are just talking to a duchess in this manner even one that they think they can bully.
 
the hard water / soft water thing took me by surprise

in my neck of the woods people go out of their way to specifically avoid drinking soft water

my house has a water softener but a separate tap for "drinking water" aka hard water because most people i know think soft water tastes disgusting
 
Let me get this straight: the head maid can't do her work, because the most inexperienced one is missing? Even though she knew, that Elle was ordered by the duchess?

The next one won't end with a simple slap.
 
I like the premise of this story but it's just absurd for one head maid to be this rude to their master — more so a duchess.
 
@dankdevice I’ve never drank hard or soft water side by side, so I don’t know the difference (in fact, I have no idea what kind of water is available in my area that I’m drinking) but I think some people don’t like drinking hard water because it tastes metallic or something
 
Someone go get me a switch off a tree.

I can’t wait for her to prover her worth.
 
Hmmm, drinking hard water is better for the body than soft water as it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium. While soft water is better for cleaning and your appliances/glasses. Not sure why the author is spreading false information....
 
So... am I the only one who wants Chloe (or the Duke) to replace all the maids? For better maids, ones who actually do their job and don't disrespect or bully their employer/the duchess. 😑

I seriously hope that, at least Mrs. Miller gets replaced.
 
That maid is so stuck up her own nose. Time for another slap....:sigh: look at me, this manhwa is making me violent. Oh whatever, let's slap a b#tch.
 
@daallday I do wish the MC had a bit more backbone since that person deserves a straight jab to first break her nose then the slap.
 
She should make Ellie her handmaid/lady's maid/personal maid. If I'm correct the maid in charge of the lady is independent to the rest of the staff, only following orders from the head of the household. Boom. Problem solved.
