For hanging on the wall, surely it'd look better in calligraphy! ;-)

With my rather rudimentary Putonghua (un)skills -- though given the
tea that provoked the comment, Japanese is probably more appropriate,
but I know even less Japanese than I do Chinese --, I came up with:

一輩å*�太寶貴飲低劣茶

In case the UTF-8 doesn't come out, that should be yi1 bei4 zi3 tai4
bao3 gui4 yin3 di1 lie4 cha2; I was aiming for "one lifetime [is] too
precious [to] drink inferior tea". How bad is my grammar/word choice,
and how far off was I from how someone who knows Chinese might
actually phrase the sentiment? :-)

I can read the UTF-8 characters loud and clear. There is no such
thing as a good tea or bad tea only idiosyncratic personality quirks.
If the only tea sold on the planet tomorrow was Liptons I could live
with it but choice is good. Hey Martha when you start doing time
learn how to make a pot of tea or bandanas with the suggested phrase.

Did you have some point that wasn't completely obvious?

In broken Japanese (proverbs don't need grammar, do they ?) :

çŸ*ã�„人生下å“�茶ä¸�è¦�。

Short walls, short sayings. This one won't fit here.
At the entrance, I've just written 目茶苦茶(mecha kucha) as a warning.
Whatever you imagine that means, that's exactly that. My grand-mother would
say that here "A cow wouldn't find her little one.". But that's far beyond.

Seriously, when I have read Flush had drunk "shincha" this week, I have
though 芽茶苦茶 (mecha kucha ). This one means "tea in germ, bitter tea".
In Japan, the shincha (= "new tea") season is supposed to start around the
end of April. So the product is not available now. Even frozen, it'd be a
bit old as shincha. It still can be enjoyed as sencha. I though someone else
was going to tell it.

I'll come to tell you when they start selling the new tea in Osaka.
Yesterday, it was snowing a little.

I was hoping you could translate that into Chinese. Since you didn't
I guess you missed the point.
