cheap tea is cheap tea,,,"Orange Pekoe & Pekoe & cut black tea" means the small, outer leaves and the floor sweepings!....The choice leaves are the larger leaves from lower on the plant...

I have brewed loose tea for 40 years, and have tried most ways to get 'good' tea....Only thing is, I NEVER pollute it with milk. 'Maybe' a little sugar or lemon...depending
