The term "teavangelist"
 
Could the oldtimers tell me...has this term actually been around for awhile?
Because I hadn't heard of it and thought I was pretty cute thinking it up
but now I see it has spread to other people and other lists and I don't know
if that was before or after I thought I had my brilliant flash of
inspiration....;)

Melinda....drinking Majuligher Assam, listening to Varese.

Melinda,

As far as I can see you are the sole inventor of this term, or at least the
popularizer of it, whichin any event gives you copyright claim. You need to
state your fee for its use. I suggest you charge the barest minimal token
amount, but do not allow people to use it free because that could be
tantamount to giving up your claim.

I approve Varese. Assam, I'm not so sure.

Hope this helps.

Michael

I saw this term on this website: www.mingcha.com.hk
I don't know if it was invented by them.

Alright, I wasn't going to say this, but if you absolutely must know, I
invented this term in 1957, and I have turned over all rights to Melinda.
All others are upstarts. Pay her, not me.

Hmm...well if there's no tea to be had in it than I suppose I turn it over
to public domain. ;)

Pu'er pu'er me...I assam'ed it had not been thought of yet....

You were so close. I was waiting for the light to turn on. Okay you
can use my TEAEVANGELISTA or TEAVANGELISTA both for free which is the
first time either have been used anywhere on the Internet. However you
don't preach you pontificate. Anybody else has to pay me for
copyrights.

Of course I do. I forgot to say it. But, you knew it.

I have been using the term "Teavangelist" as my job
title. I see no reason why this cannot be shared. We can
all spread the good word about good tea.
