摘要

James labe sits before a long wooden table in a large room free of distracting scents and sounds. In front of him rest a dozen glazed cups, filtered water and various vessels made of glass, clay and porcelain. A waste bucket waits on the side. He takes a sip from the shot-glass-size cup and lets it rest in his mouth a bit. He allows the gold-colored liquid to coat the back of his throat and exhales slowly through his nose. "There are notes of cinnamon and berry," he pronounces. "And definitely an undertone of honey."
