Maybe they'll pay you in stock options?

What kind of content and what do you pay?

One review fits all. It's your tastebuds. Your wallet just determines

Yunnan black gold makes me feel like I should start my own cartel.

I am a tea sommelier with one of the largest premium tea distributor
outside of China. If you are serious about tea contents and the right
contents, email me at .

Greg,

Is "Greg.thepunisher" an indication of the level of your professionalism in
this regard?

Michael

Don't worry about monikers the real clue is 'tea sommelier' because
there is no such accreditation besides self aggrandizement. Travelogue
on CCTV last night explored the Honghe Province in Yunnan. Those
mountainous stepped rice paddies were impressive:

Nothing I see in the schedule for exploring other parts of Yunnan.

I might be willing to write some text, but I would need more details.

oooooo this is a bit mean. My local tea shop is going to start a "tea
sommelier" program which I am thinking of doing... hmm...

Wow! I just thought I'd see what people were discussing about tea.
What's with all the wild replies? I was the first person named a tea
sommelier and while I never asked for the title, it did reflect my
credentials and professional activities. I still train and consult for
multinational tea and hospitality companies.

Anyway, what does macaonghus have in mind?

Hey, if they can have "dope sommeliers" in Amsterdam, I don't see why not.

Hmmm, Sommelier, OK, how high is the bar set to obtain that title?
Why would anyone pay $45 for an unknown type of puerh from an unknown
factory made from unknown leaf? I would expect any Tea professional to
give a better description of puerh than you do on the 2 you sell. You
don't even list the most basic of information like whether it is shu
or sheng, and the two are vastly different. I would also expect to see
the factory listed that produced the cake and preferably where the
leaf was harvested like Yiwu or Nannuo, not to mention whether it is
cultivated or wild leaf. No knowledgeable person would ever buy puerh
based on your descriptions.

Kattie,

Not mean at all, just realistic. It's essentially a money making scam, and
an unfortunate way commercial people have of establishing a mediocre
standard in order to sell more mediocre tea. Sorry, but that's my view, and
I agree with Jim.

You want to gain tea experience? Drink tea, and drink tea with others who
know tea. Stay clear of titles and people who charge for the privilege of
their company.

And what pray tell are your credentials and professional activities? Wait,
wait, don't tell me; just tell me what tea you drink and talk about it.
