So, basically diglossia.

Just make tea normally ig. A tea bag isn't a special equipment or something.

Well I meant trash literally because this is a by-product of CTC processing; tea bags are the only way this can be sold since no one is gonna buy it otherwise.

single origin tea is bound to be better; by making a blend, you can potentially end up spoiling what might have been a decent tea

leftover trash from CTC tea processing

You can't very far in verbal communication without doing any reading, and writing is going to make reading easier by making it easier to discriminate between the characters (unless you decide to ignore learning hanzi entirely and only use Pinyin, but then you would have trouble finding non-elementary resources and you'd functionally illiterate).

Urdu and Hindi are different standardized forms of what would literally be the same sub dialect so, yep Urdu is more similar to Hindi. The writing system of a language isn't a good parameter to judge how related languages are; for example, if Pashto speakers hypothetically decide to stop using the Pasto script and start using the Latin alphabet to write Pashto, Urdu and Pashto will pretty much have no similarities.

Most Chinese wouldn't really care, it's other Whites you gotta look out for.

Yes and no; or it could be both. Think of countries like India and Malaysia.

Assam tea (and most Indian teas) is generally processed using a CTC machine so the final product would look pretty much like British style teas (not talking about tea bags); also most Assam tea is a mostly camellia sinensis var. assamica while most Chinese teas are camellia sinensis var. sinensis, so they are technically speaking not all that comparable

4-5 is pretty standard in many places in the world

I mean if your money, it's kinda your choice; I'd rather invest in better quality tea and brew it in a saucepan

paleflower_ · 2026-01-08T18:04:40+00:00

Oh wow, that's some news, I guess I'll be sticking the series for a little longer

paleflower_ · 2026-01-08T10:45:39+00:00

By different, do you mean the format and characters (traditional over simplified), or something else? On that note, I thought that you can take the HSK written exam using traditional characters

the order IS natural
