Subject: [Leica] Ted's not from america ...

My preference is loose Earl Grey tea from Twinnings. The paper may have
been the problem with Heather's preference. The round Tetley "bags" look
like they are made from a different sort of "paper".

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!
