I am going to be bad this year : P
Starting off with: "Who the hack is the tea master/teacher for vibrantdragon?"
Anyone guess....

I am just guessing, but I assume it is someone he knows who works in the tea industry in China. I figure that he/she means "master" as they use the term in Indian tea making, more like a foreman at a factory than a teacher like Stéphane's Tea Parker.

I don't think you are being bad at all. I wondered at the term myself. I think it is the first time he/she has referred to a tea master. Usually it is just "a friend."

Happy New Year to you Sal! Wishing all a good healthy tea drinking year.

But Sal.... Most, if not all of his/her's commends and idea are way off... I'm afraid.

Happy and prosperous New Year to you too, my friend.

The advantage of ignorance is that I believed Vibrantdragon. Unfortunately, that is also the disadvantage. :(

You should post a clear, explicit, polite rebuttal as a correction. I'm sure most readers already recognize that there is something a little strange about V.D., but on this forum sometimes sounding foreign makes a poster sound like they know more.

My linguistics master said you shouldn't give people more credit because they sound a little foreign, it still catches me out though.

On the other hand calling them V.D is just plain mean Sal.

I was going to change my user name to Sencha ToDay, but I was afraid what Sal might call me. :wink:
