Mimi's grandmother Waipo loves liangcha tea, but the muddy looking concoction tastes too bitter for Mimi! It scalds her lips and sours her tongue! So she spits it down the sink, feeds it to the dog, and pours it in the pond. She's determined to never sip it again!
But when Waipo discovers Mimi's wastefulness, she prepares a new batch of liangcha—and this time she serves it with a special ingredient passed down from her own grandmother. Will Mimi's tastebuds learn to like her grandmother's special drink?
With beautiful illustrations that invite readers in, Bitter Tea and Rock Candy is the ultimate story about sharing traditions with love and patience. Perfect for brewing that precious bond between child and grandparent!
