The term "teavangelist"

Mar 15, 2005 6 Replies

Could the oldtimers tell me...has this term actually been around for awhile? Because I hadn't heard of it and thought I was pretty cute thinking it up but now I see it has spread to other people and other lists and I don't know if that was before or after I thought I had my brilliant flash of inspiration....;)



Melinda....drinking Majuligher Assam, listening to Varese.

Melinda,

As far as I can see you are the sole inventor of this term, or at least the popularizer of it, whichin any event gives you copyright claim. You need to state your fee for its use. I suggest you charge the barest minimal token amount, but do not allow people to use it free because that could be tantamount to giving up your claim.

I approve Varese. Assam, I'm not so sure.

Hope this helps.

I saw this term on this website:

I don't know if it was invented by them.

[Joanne on "teavangelist," presumably]

Alright, I wasn't going to say this, but if you absolutely must know, I invented this term in 1957, and I have turned over all rights to Melinda. All others are upstarts. Pay her, not me.

Hehehe. Good one, Jim!

I have been using the term "Teavangelist" as my job title. I see no reason why this cannot be shared. We can all spread the good word about good tea.
