After seeing it used twice here, i gotta ask. Isn’t it called tea essence?? “
It probably originates from the word “essence,” but is simply referred to as tea “sense” (could it be Yiddish for essence?)
I also want to comment as SL”Ch mentioned, if one believes that someone’s poseik paskened “wrong,” it really behooves us to not criticize immediately, but to say we do not understand the p’sak. Several years ago I made mention of something here and was immediately attacked by a few posters who basically called me a mechalleles yom tov (not in those terms). A couple of (must be older, of my own generation) posters came to defend my position (with raayos), but the others were adamant that I was doing the wrong thing. It was of no interest to the naysayers, that my Rov, a well-known and respected Poseik ZT”L, was the one who personally instructed me in doing what I did (something which frum people were able to still do at one time decades ago, but no longer may). They were going for blood. I ALMOST lost my temper then, but I believe I remained true to my belief that one may disagree without being disagreeable.
The bottom line is one may not have all the pertinent facts, and as learned as one may be, another person’s Rov may be even more so and know of legitimate heterim of which you are unaware, or even that the halacha is not precisely as you believe it to be. That is why we have rabbonim.
Stop second-guessing everyone’s halachaic authorities, and be concerned with how well you follow your own Rov’s piskei halacha. At the very least, don’t tell someone his Rov is wrong, though there is nothing wrong with expressing that you hold differently. While rabbonim can and do sometimes err (possibly due to not being given all the facts crucial to coming up with a final p’sak), most follow a specific m’halach, and know what they are saying and doing when asked a Shailah.
