A Quick Tea Survey for our Tealoving Friends!

[OchameTaiken]

Hey all,

I am trying to get a little input from all of our tea aficionado friends for some research I am doing for the University of Shizuoka.

I hate to bother anybody, so I just put together a quick little survey in order to get people's input and insight into their tea-drinking personalities. It's really actually a fun little survey, and takes maybe 6 minutes or so. I figure we all enjoy talking about our tea-drinking here!

Right now, this is devoted specifically to our tea friends in the United States. But it doesn't matter if you're an avid tea drinker, tea-newbie, or even in the industry. It's purely academic, not a business survey!

Any help would be really wonderful! Of course, you may feel free to share it with any of your tea friends in the US.

Thanks guys!

You'll get quite a sampling bias by posting this on a forum for tea enthusiasts! People here are obsessed with tea. But I doubt most Americans have experienced tea beyond the cardboard-tasting water that comes from powder in a little bag.

And done! I wonder how I voted?

Will you share the results with us?

[OchameTaiken]

Thanks for the responses.

I'm not too worried about sampling bias. I need to hear from serious tea-nuts just as much as I need to hear from average folk.
I'm getting it sent out to plenty of less tea-obsessed demographics as well. But this is strictly an informal Q&A, to supplement the real bulk of the research.

I could probably share some results if we get a good turn out. If anybody has questions...

[Mr. Usaji]

I did the survey, and it turns out I actually don't know much about my own tea-drinking habits.

I've started drinking hojicha at night (I'm drinking it right now!) but I don't know if that's "green tea."

Ok, done!
