Tea

There are, I am sure, some well-traveled tea drinkers in this community. I didn't become a fan of tea until I'd been living in Ireland for a while, where the tea is often wonderful, so I don't know what the tea situation is in the US. I seem to remember some awful stuff having a Lipton label, but are any good teas to be found in America, or does Lipton now have a good variety: anything like Bewley's several ones, for example?

As a sometime tea drinker, I can state unequivocally that there=20 are some good teas here and that none of them are labeled Lipton.

Isn't it the way that it's brewed that's more important? The Irish drink more tea than the English. My young cousins, when I visited, would pore it on their corn

Critical factors:-
Leaf tea or bags are fine, but...
* decent tea - Twinnings, but not Liptons, especially those pathetic tiny yellow bags you get in countries where tea isn't popular (which is understandable if Liptons is all you can get there) * make in a pot - ceramic,not metal;
* fresh-drawn water;
* (most important) water is boiling vigorously as

Yes. I find it drinkable, but it is not by favourite. I generally drink Bewley's "Finest Regency Tea". I don't believe it can found in America, but I know their
