This comment sounds very snobbish to me. If OP likes his tea simple without ceremonies, reciting poetry, or measuring temperature of water to 0.1°C precision it gives you no logical reason to claim he's not smart, or enlightened enough.
OP is allowed to do so. But if he/she insists that anyone who recognizes further depth to the topic is wrong or stupid, then responding to that doesn’t make me a snob.
I re-read the comment in question with great attention, and found nothing OP insists on except for being left alone with his tea. Quote: "Use the combinations you enjoy"
