@gingkoseto – I can see you dropped by here on Tea Trade, how are you? It’s been so long since we last chatted. How are things going for you? So good to see your name pop up again.

Ladies – I will have to cancel Thursday’s Ladies night, members of the tribe aren’t well. Next week? @iheartteas @jopj @thepurrfectcup @teaformeplease @teapages @gingkoseto et al.

replying to an update doesn’t require a computer, your phone will do..

I’m not actually able to do it with my phone. It requires logging in and an extreme amount of zooming which is a big drain on my battery. When I’m on the go (which is a lot of the time) preserving battery life is very important. If something urgent, I will almost always receive and reply to tweets right away.

Oops, sorry meant to delete my comment @teaformeplease. Was just testing how (badly) it works from my phone. Pete told me that Tea Trade is not set up for that at all. So, forget my phone comment please.

Waiting for @gingkoseto‘s latest blog post to appear on the front page for @thedevotea to see. I know he likes catching all the latest posts over there, whereas I go to the activity stream first. Anyway, note to myself: it was published 9 hours ago, so I want to see when it turns up.

Calling all Tea Trade Ladies – also including @iheartteas @jopj @teaformeplease @teapages @thepurrfectcup @gingkoseto we’ll have a hangout on Thursday at 9:00 again. I can imagine that Katrina might be busy with the sicknesses, and Courtney has game night, but anyone is welcome.

Thanks @gingkoseto â I think @xavier and @bram would find this interesting too. Are you saying that (artificially) expensive tea makes the consumer believe the tea has got to be worth more and taste better?-
People seem to have the intuition (me include, though I’m often, but not always able to correct it) that price is based on honest markers. So better quality, more rare, harder to get/produce etc. If the market was honest this would usually be a justified reasoning. Unfortunately this is not always the case. I would expect that the placebo effect…[Read more]

i guess most price inflation in this country is not due to dishonest, but due to charging high service fee, or making package more expensive than fee, or having high operational cost due to advertisement costs. a $20 tea could easily be honestly worth $100 if the shop were opened at the 5th ave. in NYC, and the owner would go bankruptcy if they…[Read more]
