In my opinion, being a tea snob is not about thinking you’re better than someone else just because you happen to know more about a particular subject.
It is simply being passionate about something.
The same holds true for tea.
It is being able to appreciate and identify quality. It is taking time out of this fast paced, stressful life, to stop and smell the roses (or mm’m is that lavender with earl grey?)
Fine teas are a luxury that anyone can afford. Besides, it is the second most consumed beverage (behind water) in the entire world.
So go ahead, become a snob. The world could use a bit more passion in it. If you’re the typical American who has yet to venture beyond the commercial grade iced teas, now’s your chance to branch out, expand your horizons! You might just find tea awakens some passions.
A recent trend magazine quotes ”Tea fits into this trend because a buying market that is interested in higher quality, is open to learning about the benefits of loose leaf tea. They are even excited about becoming a tea snob.”
This is good news for me, I clearly fall into the tea snobbery category. Passion is the tool that moves me, and the world of tea is exciting, and fascinating.
I’m always interested in finding out more about tea, and sharing my new discoveries with others.
