What would you tell your novice self about tea

[rdl]

"Now and then its good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy"
- Guillaume Apollinaire
drinking tea does not make me happy, being happy makes me drink tea.
Happiness is the host, tea is a guest and as host I would never embarrass my guest, no matter the grade or quality of tea. Drinking is a path from sustaining life to the sublime; if your obsession is the latter, don't lose your sense of happiness because of the former.
