I never tire of rereading this story,it makes me laugh all over again:)

I love this story. It's fun to get back every few months to read it again.

Lu cha...
Doesn't that just mean stove tea?
Whaaaa?

Hey, I don't know if anyone reads this anymore, but I figured, what the heck. I'll comment.

I just want you to know I have been searching for this story for almost 2 years. I remember reading it in high school and it was just AMAZING. It was so hilarious to me. And it really inspired me to keep on writing, so I could make stories that were just as good.

Today I write for my university newspaper and am a freelance writer on the side.

So yeah, I just wanted to say, thanks. You rock. I'll never forget these stories :)

This kind of story is not usually my cup of tea (pun intended), and I love tea. I prefer a more plot-driven story, and this did not have much of a plot until near the end. However, I kept with it because I _loved_ the writing style. I love the humor, vocabulary, description, characters... especially the characters. I probably identify most with Simon because of the way you built the story around him. I really like Vincent. I adore Raghupati. There is no one I wish you had left out. Isaac and Daniel (and maybe sometimes Philippe) made good villains. I thought it was wonderful that you rehabilitated Richard. One of the best parts for me was your inclusion of Chinese culture. Over on the fanfiction site, I pray someone will write about Harry Potter in China instead of ANOTHER forced marriage contract. (I have read about Harry in Mexico and in India and loved both of those.)

I will probably head to Jungle Jim's (Google it!) to see if I can get some of the teas you mentioned! And I will start reading your other story as soon as I post this. Thank you for writing!

Love It! Amazing story! Favorite Character is Luis and Raghupati ! Xian is awesome too!

AWSOME STORY!My fave charachter has to be Luis (though Simon and Raghupati tie for a close second XD) It was really funny and really well written too! I'd love to see a sequel, but even more, i think it would be cool to see what the charachters look like...too bad i can't help, my best drawings are stick-people XD but anyways, keep up the good work !D

I never thought I'd ever read the phrase 'If I'm too drunk to drive the tortoise' and I applaud you for coming up with it. Nay, I bow. As for my favorite character, Luis, of course! Witty characters are like a drug-one can't get enough, one can't stop reading. I'm almost annoyed that the story has come to a close. I suppose I'll just have to raid your other story.

Im absolutley hooked on this story. I'm only on the first chapter but I can't wait to read more.

I like the characters and the way you make them interact, It makes for really interesting reading!

Psychosomatic is my favourite word! But it is sadly under-used. :(

i would have to say my favourite character is Raghupati...although he's quickly becoming replaced with Xian! Luis is of course a brilliant creation. I definitely think this could merit a sequel. The humour is captivating, there are just a few spelling/grammar things here and there, but nothing really. I love it :)

Yay! I honestly loved this story. I really enjoy Fantasy/Humor, and your story (as well as the other I just read) perked me right up after a run of bad fantasy novels. I can't think of any constructive criticism right now, but I'd be a bad person to ask; I'm blinded by humor, as I -always- think it's great. Still, you are now one of my favorite authors. w

I really want to congratulate you for Asian references -other- than Japanese. (What is it with the obsession with Japanese culture, and no remembrance of Chinese?) Also, I ordered some Lapsang Souchong because of all the references you made to it. Feel proud.

This was a very enjoyable story. The characters are well-developed and very entertaining, and the only criticism I can offer is that in the middle the plot did drag a bit, as amusing as daily life at Chateau Tisane is. This portion also focused on the character development more, so it wasn't anything major. I just thought that I'd point that out for future reference, since you mentioned you would appreciate constructive criticism.

Since you asked: my favorite character has to be Raghupati. _ I want a pet sea turtle now!

Your story is hilarious! It's well written as well. My favourite character(s) are definitely Luis and Qiang. I seriously hope you write more stories.

haha. this story is just too delightful... love the characters to pieces! the tone reminds me slightly of diana w. jones, but not enough to sound derivative of it.
