They refused to give me a reason for changing it.


Probably that no one understood what white tea was. Green tea, yes.


I think they did. They might not have known what green tea was then in
the mid 1990s. I think everyone knew what black and white tea/coffee
meant and had done for some time as they'd been a staff socail club 10
years before I took over.


But only right to change it into something everyone would understand.
You've got to move with the times.
