The small panel slid away, revealing a steaming cup of fresh tea. He slid it out carefully and bringing it to his nose, inhaled the pleasant fragrance. Green Tea. He sat down to enjoy it in a nearby chair.
How will it taste, he thought with trepidation. He had never consumed 'Erth' sustenance before. Only one way to find out though, he supposed. Lifting the cup above his eyes he began to slowly pour the liquid down his face, savoring the flavor as it flowed across his taste receptors, absorbing in through his flesh.
It was sublime, far superior to anything he had had from the replicator before. Which was saying something; the thing could botch even the simplest Kolacth recipe. Suddenly he regretted not having tried any of these 'Ethnic' sustenances, before. Wiping his face with a cleansing cloth, he leaned back into the chair to relax.
He examined the small label on the bottom of the cup: Erth Sustenance, 'Green Tea'. Recipe Source: 'Twinings'. Type: Ethnic, Extinct.
Looking out past the stars, he wondered what kind of place 'Erth' had been. Surely it had been a wondrous place, full of life and zest, to have created such beautiful sustenance.
