I'm just wondering about the general preference out there.
In general I prefer Indian tea to Chinese; my latest obession has been
the Tarajulie Assam, it's delicious all day, morning, noon, and
night. *And I love spicy chai with hints of cumin.
However China has caught my tongue lately as well, a light Keemun that
has a mellow sweetness.
Maybe my palate is shifting?

Look, I'm just talking about tea and I wanted to know about what
others in this group like.
I didn't say anything about what brand of tea.
I thought we were welcome to talk about tea, in general, as long as it
doesn't include advertisement. *I'm trying to abide by the rules and
talk about tea! Sheesh.
Just forget it.

Look, if you really are here to join in tea discussions, we'd most
likely be happy to have you here. However, when your very first post
is a blatant advertisement, it does become suspicious.
This circumstance arises periodically and we have suffered through
innumerable forms of advertising, oft disguised as interest in teas
that are, coincidentally, marketed by the poster.
I would suggest, as has been suggested herein previously, that you do
a bit of researching and check out posts in the archives regarding the
collective attitudes here toward advertising and essentially, covert
behavior.
It should be obvious to you, in those posts and replies, that no one
here is interested in being part of a thinly hidden marketing survey.
Had your post been one of sincere curiosity and not one following an
advertising ploy, you most likely would not have received the
responses you did.
