USA, little from canada, a good number from UK, and small number from the rest: germany, australia, taiwan, etc... 1 from russia Pretty much standard, most of mine are the same. Health, weight loss, green tea. I get a few real searches by Chinese tea name, and I also get water heater water temp searches for some unknown reason Google sends 'em my way to what I can only guess is total disappointment. I find this to be the same in everyday life in the U.S. Almost everyone who approaches me, finds out about me, or sees my tea only has those same ideas: health, weight loss, green tea. It's kind of disheartening, and especially for them when I blow a few holes in that magical panacea they have in their heads. I wish it wasn't that way, and I always stress the fact that tea is special for many real reasons and that any benefits are icing on the cake. Sometimes they respond favorably, other times I am an idiot because they have a friend who was cured of terminal cancer while being saved from shark attack all because they had a cup of green tea that morning. To each their own, I just wish the average "sheeple" in the U.S. could find their own brain beyond the marketing departments of some company. - Dominic |

The tea can displace other drinks that aren't so good - sodas, beer, sugared instant teas, wine, spirits. In this sense water would be just as good, if not better, but it's taste is boring for most people. But I see what you mean! -andrei - Dominic |

Oddly enough, the Half-Dipper gets a lot of traffic for people
searching for the phrase "Crusty Jugglers". In fact, of the 59,000 Google hits for "Crusty Jugglers", the Half- Dipper is ranked #1. I'm not sure if that's something to be happy about... "Lincang puer" and "confucian tea house beijing" are the highest- ranked searches concerning tea, after "Half Dipper"-related phrases. My personal favourites from the list of searches a i. "nastiest ingredients in cigarettes" ii. "toodlepip origins" iii. "urine tasting" iv. "it is the hour of the dragon" Toodlepip, Hobbes |
