I never buy tea bags. Once I started drinking loose tea regularly I found I couldn't drink the tea-bag tea. Confining tea in bags is a lot like keeping a bird in a cage. Believe it or not, I even take a tea pot and a jar of loose tea when camping and festivaling. I actually blend my own because I love Darjeeling but it's a little too weak so I mix it with Assam. Since I like smoked food I thought I ought to try blending with a bit of Lapsang Souchong, but Tesco doesn't sell that loose.

I heard something on the radio the other day about China tea and decided I ought to give green tea another try. The only time I tried it it was too bitter for me but there is a much greater variety around now that it is trendy. Of course....no loose green tea in Tesco. Anyone know anything about white tea? They had that in Tesco....in bags.
