TIA for your ideas!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): writeaway, sylvie malich (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I was really spoilt for choice here. Unfortunately I can only select one answer, but I would like to thank everybody for the most helpful contributions.
writeaway Nov 2, 2008:
Since this is marketing/copywriting, and not really a terminology question, in the context of brainstorming, it would be helpful to know what your own ideas are so far.

Drinking tea

Hello,

I am not sure I would say "Teegenuss" is the equivalent of "enjoyment of drinking tea" as the term "Alkoholgenuss" is not the synonym of the "enjoyment of drinking alcohol" either (similar to "Fleischgenuss" simply meaning the eating of meat.

In my experience a lot of German words are not translated into English and it is the same here.

I would translate as follows (and thus omitting the "enjoyment" side of things here):

Discover the mildly flavoured teas from Southafrica.


Peer comment(s):

agree Donal Murphy-Bokern

neutral Stephen Sadie : sorry, if this is praising the tea i would understand the enjoyment to be relevant
21 mins
neutral Claire Cox : I agree with Stephen; I think the enjoyment/pleasure side of it is important - especially if this is intended for a UK market, where I think we're still a nation of passionate tea drinkers!
