My point is, I'm not about to join the Yorkshire Tea Forum and claim that Darjeeling "is better" based on casual drinking by me and my friends. I wouldn't present such perceptions as anything other than, well, perceptions. Why? The Yorkshire Tea lovers could point out, quite rightly, that such perceptions were caused by the water in my region, the non-standard way I prepare my tea, and so on. Or even my expectations given I know which tea I'm tasting. To unravel some of these conundrums requires a more rigorous test which accounts for them. These demands would seem reasonable to me.
But I'm not interested in converting Yorkshire tea lovers, or selling Darjeeling, or writing professional tea reviews, so there is no hurry. In the meantime I'm able just to enjoy my tea. :) If I want to do any more than enjoy, though, I will need to dig deeper as to why my perception is what it is.
