[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that commercially-grown tea can tend to have a chalky aftertaste.

After doing a bit of research I have leased around 1/4 acre in Ceylon, near Badulla. It had never been farmed before so I knew it was free of pesticide residue. For a few hundred dollars some village women have cleared and planted a few dozen bushes, which are more than sufficient to satisfy my hot beverage needs.

Yes, it is a little more trouble than barrelling down to Safeway in your Explorer, but this is the only way you control the elevation, harvest time etc. to ensure the perfect cup of tea.[/quote]

Do you even live in this universe?  Talk about Princess and the Pea.

Thanks, Alice Waters.  Way to be totally oblivious.

I don't understand the vitriol this post has engendered.
If it is a crime to demand quality, then I guess yes, I am guilty. Let them take me away.
But I can assure you that I am far from oblivious. I am very conscious of the results of my actions.  Thanks to my investment, several Tamil ladies now have some hard cash in their pockets to spend on their food or healthcare needs or what-have-you.  Ladies, I might add, who may have a way with tea, but have very few other marketable skills.

Now, I think you owe me an apology.[/quote]

I adore you.  Please post more often.[/quote]
