Horrifying Ommission

May 19th, 2009

I was conducting some gentle perusing of the internet when I came across a web directory at searchsight.com. A web directory similar to many others offering search of their huge database and also enabling people to submit their site.

So I thought – nothing ventured nothing gained. I’ll add Wonders of Tea. So as is the custom with such sites I go to the submission page shown below.

No tea

Notice anything missing? No tea category!

How on earth can these people miss one of the greatest beverages ever conceived and yet they’ll include muddy water (aka coffee)?

Absolutely unbelievable.

Fantastic Site for Tea

August 15th, 2005

I discovered a very good tea site which has a large array of interesting information on tea and various tips on tea making. You can visit it here:

Tea Info

I must disagree with one of the points they make though as it’s a little unfair:

1. Good tea is not to be found in supermarkets. Tea from supermarkets tastes plain and bitter. High quality teas are sweet, complex and fragrant.

He later goes on to say that Twinnings lose leaf tea is the only supermarket tea worth touching. Now I can understand him saying this with green tea as its a muchg more delicate yet vcaried and rich flavour. Black tea on the other hand is a variety that holds its flavour well regrdless of whether its in a bag or not – although I’m not saying that bag tea is as good or better but I am saying that to put down all supermarket bagged tea is a little unfair.
