Well Jeffrey PMFJI but tea is a whole big subject! If you really like 
tea don't use bags at all - the paper has a faint taste and the tea 
quality used in bags is lower than that used in loose tea even of the 
same brand.
It is odd but as a travelling tea drinker about the only tea I see in 
the "non tea drinking" countries is the undrinkable yellow label 
Liptons stuff. When I lived and worked in France I never found a local 
source of drinkable tea, whether this is because of local taste, 
marketing or just low turnover resulting in staleness I don't know. I 
am on my way to Montreal on Friday to visit my Aunt and then to work at 
the Canadian GP then over to Indianapolis for the US GP. I will be 
taking my own tea bags with me to Indy!
