The thing is the average tea you get pretty much anywhere in the world is made FAR below how good it could be. If you want to make really good tea, you need to buy much better tea and learn gong fu cha, the Chinese way to prepare it. Imho.

The stuff that many people make and call tea is a real embarrassment.

Supermarket tea is lacklustre at best, tea flavoured pesticides at worst.

I've had several people curse me out a bit for introducing them to good tea. Once they've had high quality tea, properly prepared, they recognise the swill used in their office for what it is.

I fully understand way people don't like tea, if their only exposure is poorly prepared ultra cheap rubbish.

This is why I buy my loose leaf from the bulk store. I don't want to get a taste.

I wasted so much money getting fancy with coffee. The last thing I need is to replicate that with something as elegant as tea.

Speaking personally
