Tea: Taylors of Harrogate

Electric Politics$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ometimes there's nothing quite so good as a cup of tea. Unfortunately, these days mass market teas sold in the U.S. seem to be made up mainly of leftover sweepings from teahouses around the world, after smart foreign buyers have snapped up the quality merchandise. To be honest, most teas sold in the U.S. — even supposedly fancy brands — make me physically sick. Seriously, I mean sick. Not to mention that they scarcely taste like tea. It's possible to order real tea, actual clusters of tea leaves in little pouches, at astronomical prices, but then you're practically talking tea ceremony, not just a cuppa in the morning. Enter Yorkshire tea, by Taylors of Harrogate. It's delightful with a very complex black tea flavor. Perky. Old fashioned tea bags. You know that the tea leaves were carefully sorted and handled responsibly. Delicious!
Damn! Those pesky Brits been pinching all the lovely bits and leaving all the shwag to stupid Americans who would rather drink Text deleted. Diet Coke anyway.

The best tea in the world/ all grown organicly on 1 farm in north Queensland Australia:

That British crap is sourced from wherever. It's like comparing blended whisky to single malt. Nerada is the best of single malt; in the tea world.
