I agree with this point. I learned more about tea in 5 days from a knowledgeable pro than I did from buying $1,000 worth of tea from dozens of online merchants.Victoria wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 12:20 pmbradenl123 before embarking on extensive purchases for the year, I would take up Baisao’s offer and visit him for a few tea sessions. There is nothing like learning from a pro. Baisao can teach you about tea and teaware. He’s just an hour away from you too. He was lucky to have had a teacher himself, so I’m sure would like to share this knowledge. Here in Los Angeles, one of our tea club members studied with a tea master in Malasia, his knowledge base is something we all soak up every time we are together. The difference between having studied with a teacher and not is clear.
Although, drinking lots of tea is ultimately how you find what you like.
