Coffee Talks Tea Watches the River
Coffee keeps asking to be described; tea seems content to sit beside the view.

The small question is whether a drink is remembered for its taste or for what gathered around it.

First, coffee finds its words
The clearest voice belongs to coffee: “single origin Colombian coffee, notes of soft peach, apricot, sparkling lemon” [1]. One cup becomes a sequence, moving from softness to sharpness rather than settling on a single flavour.

Tea lets the setting speak
Tea arrives without a tasting note: just a glass on a table, with a river beyond it [2]. The drink recedes and the view becomes the memory.
Coffee keeps changing form
Coffee returns as a visual contrast, dark in the cup against a floral patterned saucer [3]. Later, a saved reference strips cappuccino back to its construction: espresso and steamed milk foam [4]. Coffee has moved from tasted, to seen, to explained.
Tea left one quiet scene beside the water. Coffee kept generating language: flavours, patterns, then a definition.
