How many times have you gone to a five star restaurant for a delicious meal with someone special or to celebrate a special occasion and had the enjoyment ruined by a bad cup of tea.?
It seems in America, no one knows how to brew a fine cup of tea. Usually you are presented with a tea box with a limited selection of bagged tea and then that sorry looking bag is slopped into a luke warm cup of water.
The end result is a terrible cup of tea and a disappointing evening.
Even the best restaurants use bagged tea and fail to steep the tea properly and a large amount of your money is wasted.
Now, when I make a reservation at a five star restaurant the first question is what type of tea do they prepare and how do they prepare it. I hang up on a lot of restaurants.

There was an American on the TeaChat forums not long ago who seemed suprised to find a good tea shop in England.
I was gob-smacked!! In England we've been drinking tea since before America was born!
Tea is a religion and that was plain blasphemous.
Hello Goug,
You are absolutely right! To a great extent the English people, The Honorable East India Company, and Parliament created the tea industry in the west.
Only England increased demand and streamlined lines of supply through Hong Kong and had the might to enforce its will in the 19th century.
The tea drinking world owes a debt.
