This is the great thing about blogs -- they are about the stuff we never think about. Like this little gem:
AnnArborIndia. From the title you can probably guess what it's about. This particular post focuses on India's tea, and where to get it in Ann Arbor.
Excerpt:
I asked Lisa about her customer base.
Characterizing her customers in general, Lisa says, "Most of my
customers are foodies, wine drinkers and connoisseurs of specialty items
in general." However, her typical customer comes in with only enough
information to ask for either black or green tea. At that point, Lisa or
Andrew who works at TeaHaus full time, makes suggestions. The number
one bestseller is Earl Grey, followed by Indian Chai which can be in two
forms - one with the masala or spices already blended in with the tea
and the other where the masala is added separately. More Indians come to
her shop now and they are a little more discerning than the average
customer. I found it very interesting that she has noticed that for some
Indians, walking into her shop and discovering this world of tea from
India is a moment of regaining pride in the old country. As I had
mentioned in my last post, many Indians are not very aware of the finer
distinctions between the different varieties of tea, so it takes a tea
shop in Ann Arbor to open this world for some! All power to
globalization!
