A master of tea, a connoisseur, he makes you appreciate your tea much more....even if you're drinking lower quality tea with acid rain, chemically treated water! People like him make the world a more interesting and enjoyable place. Tea of course, was a significant driving factor in the current shape of the geopolitical map.

Quite fascinating.... i would very much like to start drinking this Tea sounds Amazing, plus the fact that black tea has been raped of most of its goodness, youtube teaches so much if 1 should look in the right direction. :)
