He maybe the greatest writer, but I think the kind of tea he based his comments on was more limited than even what I have now. Our understanding of the world has changed so much from even when I was a high school kid reading Animal Farm in the full version the first time. To me, Chinese tea is amazing. I have not ventured into a lot of choices yet, but such selections as Congou Rustic, White Peony Classic Floral and April Mist have transformed my previous understanding of what tea is. The information about tea making in this site has helped me to rethink how I should make tea with these different tealeaves. Otherwise I may not be able to experience their real taste.

I have much to know about tea yet but definitely with what I have learned now, I cannot agree with George Orwell.
