eternal light Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I always think of that song "Paint It Black" as being about World War II. During the war they endured shortages so Lipton tea bags were in common use, but after the war people began to find loose leaf tea more available in the markets. One English woman from a more recent generation who I met told me she avoids tea bags whenever possible in favor of freshly boiled hot water poured over loose leaf tea.

You can always taste the paper. We only drink loose leaf (though we have to import it directly from England so that it isn't stale/weak/generally crap). Generally it's Taylors Assam plus English or Scottish breakfast, and sometimes UK Twinings (same kinds), but we've just discovered that Waitrose loose English breakfast is the absolute best--I brought a box back with me this past week. Sadly, they don't ship. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattmc1973 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 This is pretty funny, it's a video from The Onion News Network (they do fake news stories, like The Daily Show and Stephen Colbert). The tagline is "Queen Elizabeth II Will Leave Behind Long Legacy Of Waving"... Queen Elizabeth's Greatest Waving Moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetley is not awful if it's quite fresh--it's what a lot of hotels and b&bs have, but I usually leave it and buy my own tea at the local store. I like a very malty tea myself, but also some fragrance, hence the Assam/English breakfast mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
