Morning Prep in Tainan
Mist rests on the narrow alleyway behind a traditional Tainan tea house, softening the sharp edges of aged brick and faded blue tiles. A street vendor, bundled in a thick wool sweater, tends to a row of large ceramic stoneware crocks used for fermenting tea leaves, their surfaces slick with condensation. Beside him, a simple wooden step stool holds a stack of clean porcelain bowls, ready for the morning rush. The damp air mutes the colors, turning the scene into a study of grays and muted earth tones, while the faint glow of a single overhead bulb reflects off the wet cobblestones. A discarded plastic bag rests near the crocks, caught in the quiet rhythm of pre-dawn preparation.
