  • You should try more loose leaf teas.

    The bag itself will limit the leaf length, and both bagging, transport and storage in the bag degrades teas at a very accelerated rate.

    See if you can find a tea with at least 4 cm (half a finger length, or about 1.5") leaf length and compare, preferably with an enthusiast brewing it to get the most flavor out of it. A popular variant is Silver needles.

    That’s where you’ll start getting complex and changing flavor profiles from the tea itself, it’s not for everyone, but well worth a try.






  • I’m starting to think that the correct way to address these types of things is with a simple, possibly even loving, “that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard”.

    A lot of poorly reasoned opinions and ideas come from socially validated sources, they parrot the opinions of people they identify with. Showing that you won’t agree to get along, might work as a counter both to their spewing the shit as well as maybe letting them question why they hold that belief.

    Might also make them stop coming to you with these types of opinions, which may or may not be what you want.
