It was. As I commented in an earlier post, this might have been clearer
with either a . or a ; to sperate the sentence fragments. With the comma,
it led me to bleieve the two thoughts were connected, thus: "if the tea is
good, then your home is impressive". In light of the quote (with which I
wasn't familiar), what you have is fine, eccept for the note on punctuation
(and that's mostly stylistic, I think, since these are both fragments).
