Dex is a monk. They've spent their life dedicated to their work in the garden. But lately they've been waking up tired. Tired of the monotony of their life. So they set out to become a tea monk and meet some interesting characters along the way.
I absolutely loved this story. The characters were so lovingly crafted that they seemed to jump off the page. The world was intricate and beautiful. I will say there wasn't much world-building in terms of the gods but it didn't detract at all from my understanding of the book. The discussions of the human condition and what humans believe in necessary for them to live and thrive were extremely interesting and thought-provoking. Definitely give this a read, it was so cozy too!
