This standard basically dictates how to prepare 'tea' so that an expert tea taster can evaluate its quality. At the end of the day the tests are subjective. It never amazes me how many of these tests and standards have been produced and in many cases stop progress. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if there was a 'Standard for Web Applications' although things came close enough with accessibility laws.
