Change your mind, new tea origins are coming…
Its time to change your mind and stop comparing teas back to original varietals and accept them as their own. As in wine, we don’t drink wine from California and say– “this is not as good as wine from France” rather, we accept it as being different and we bask in the colors of this difference. In tea we should be doing the same — the tea leaves are a product of terroir and the hands that picked and processed them. We are going to see more and more countries “try” tea in the near future.

Totally agree! Comparing a black tea to a green tea is like comparing apples to oranges
. Best statement I’ve seen all day!
