Dialog in Filipino (AUGUST 2024):
C: Naunahan tayo ni Mina. Nabili na pala niya ang bahay na ito.
N: Naghanap lang daw siya sa internet. Marami raw na mga bakanteng bahay o tinatawag na akiya na mura, lalo na iyong mga nasa malalayong lugar.
C: Pero maganda na rito sa Uji! Napakasarap ng matcha rito dahil sa paraan nila ng pagtatanim.
N: Balita ko ay dating tea master ang may-ari nito, kaya raw magdadala sila ng mga turista para sa “Sado” or tea ceremony.
C: Umpisahan na natin ang paglilinis. Dapat ay handa tayo sa pagdagsa ng mga turista.
N: Nasaan ang mga walis tambo at mga basahan?
C: Heto na .. Pinakyaw ko na ang mga natitirang walis tambo sa Bautista, Pangasinan.
N: Mautak ka talaga! Mainam pangwalis ng mga dahon ng tsaa ang tambo na gawa sa tuyong talahib dahil pino at malambot.
C: Uy, nagtext si Mina. Pabalik na raw siya at ibinili tayo ng ilang meryenda … matcha tea at matcha croissant.
N: Dali! Wala pa tayong nawawalisan!

Dialog in English (AUGUST 2024):
C: Mina was step ahead of us. She already bought this house.
N: She just searched the internet. There are many vacant houses or the so-called “akiya” that are cheap, especially those in far-flung places.
C: But it’s already good here in Uji. The matcha tea here is very delicious because of their way in cultivating it!
N: I heard that the former owner of this house was a tea master, that’s why they are going to bring tourists here to experience “Sado” or tea ceremony.
C: Let’s start cleaning this place. We must be ready for the influx of tourists.
N: Where are the whisk brooms and dust cloth?
C: Here you are! I bought all the remaining whisk brooms in Bautista, Pangasinan.
N: You are really brainy! Whisk brooms made from the dried tall grasses are good for sweeping tea leaves because it’s fine and soft.
C: Hey, Mina texted. She’s on the way back here and she bought us some snacks…. matcha tea and matcha croissant
N: Come on! We haven’t swept anything yet!
