Hi.
I just wanted to right and set the record straight on something. I recognise that my recent post about fine teas offended some people, and I'm sorry for that. I didn't mean to appear like a capitalist jock, although, couching my enquiry in economic terms didn't help my case. I'm not rich, if that's what you're thinking, I'm just a student. The tea I drink comes from the supermarket and gets brewed ina mug, so I'm by no means knowledgeable. In fact, I know nothing. That's why I came here, I was just looking for some advice really. If I just wanted the most expensive tea, I could have gone shopping and picked the pricyest one off the shelf. What I was really trying to say was, what's a good tea, a fine tea, a respected tea, an impressive tea, and if it's costly, I'm willing to cover that in order to acquire something really wonderful. That's the way round I meant it, not what's a pricey tea because it's bound to be good, but, rather, what's a wonderful tea and I guess it'll therefore be pricey. I didn't mean to appear ignorant, although I now see that's how it came across. I just wanted to know what teas people respect, people who know about these things, unlike myself. I didn't want to just buy the most expensive thing off the shelf, I wanted to know what you guys go for, seeing as it seems like you know a thing or two. So I'm sorry, Ripon, if I offended you, I didn't mean to, I'm not some spoilt brat, I'm just looking to find something that isn't PG Tips for a change. I thought you might be able to help. Thanks. |
