To all those who kindly suggested that one can buy tea on the internet, please reread my post. I am aware that it can be found, and have a couple of possible sources bookmarked, but do note also that I mentioned that the best tea I have in the house is left over from a purchase ca 1980. Those were not large tins (3-7/8 oz each)

If I ordered 4 oz of each of three or four decent teas, my descendents would be fighting over what's left of them four generations from now. (If they didn't try to smoke them.)

I do look fairly often to see what's available at places that claim to sell "tea." If I should happen to find something that looks pleasant, I might buy some, but thus far there just hasn't been anything in the local market that's even remotely interesting, much less a wicked temptation. (Truly evil temptations are welcome, but don't seem to come along very often any more.)

If I'd order on the web, I'd probably forget what it was - or why I thought I wanted it - by the time it arrived.

I've had my cup 'a coffee (or 7 or 8 today) so I think I'll go discuss the matter with my ol' friend Jack (of the Daniels clan).

But thanks for being thoughtful.

John
