What do you know about tea? What is there left for you to learn? In this episode we talk about how we can share information and learn from each other. The tea community in the western world is largely virtual for many reasons (tea lovers seem few and far between, Covid imposed isolation, etc), thus a lot of conversations happen virtually. We want to look at how we talk about tea online, how we address truth, untruth, misinformation, and outright lies in the tea world. We share a personal experience that has resulted in our growth, and encourage everyone to maintain a growth-oriented mindset.
In this episode, we talk about the Chinese idiom 盲人摸象,blind men feeling an elephant, and delve into the neuroscience of brainwaves and information processing. We mention the podcast Collective Insights (particularly the episode on Nerofeedback) and Ian McGilchrist (his book The Master and His Emissary).
Next week we will get back into white tea, so enjoy this impromptu in-betweenisode!
