I like the tiny little tea leaves in Tetley. Red Rose is a staple in NY diners. It is brought to your table in bag form along with a luke warm cup of water. Nasty stuff. I did not mean to offend. My "It figures" simply meant that only crappy tea would grow in the Canadian climate.It was a feeble attempt at humor. I avoid herbal teas except when the local Genovese gives away a thermos mug with two boxes. Then I buy peppermint. I brew my tea in a pre-warmed pot and allow it to steep for exactly 1.5 minutes. Serve it with lemon and a touch of honey.
