I am a bit at a loss after reading this post. It failed to make an argument as to what “good tea” is or why I should care. Personally, I like drinking tea from flavoured tea bags (after letting them sit for like 15 minutes) or lemon-ginger tea. How is tea better after following your recommendations?
This previous post of mine might be helpful context. I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum—if you already enjoy the thing you’re doing with tea, that’s fine. I’m not sure how to argue for claims like “it tastes better”. I guess I could try to conduct a survey to see how strong inter-rater agreement is on the question of whether properly brewed high-quality loose leaf tea is better than the average teabag, but this wouldn’t bear much on flavored teas, which I consider to exist in a separate magisterium.
