All they have on this cruise is Bigelow. It’s pretty flavorless and not that good and lacking flavor. I use 2 bags in a 6oz cup. The Earl Grey is the best but nothing good. I wish they had constant comment. I don’t know who drinks this stuff. But I probably have about 4-6 cups a day.

Constant comment is nice. I keep a box of it around at all times along.

Grab a box of TyPhoo on your return and let me know what you think.

Got this off the Bay the other day, only a couple of pounds. Mainly about Chinese tea, but that's okay as I want to learn more about green, white tea etc. It's also fairly old, so no silly modern teas in it :lol:

That's pretty cool, Ric. I remember years ago having a Chinese (?) cuppa someplace where the blob of tea unfolded in my cup like a flower blossom. It was pretty cool, too.

I've never had one out, just at home. I'm not sure what you had, I've only tried green tea in bags really, but do find it very refreshing.

It is from Connecticut. It's my favorite.

The reasons for my current Steed and Peel fascination need not concern you. I did come across this, however:

100 ozs of black tea a day has turned my tongue brown. So with some googling I found out that adding some milk or cream gets rid of the tannins/oils that stains your tongue. Or steeping the bags less. So I started doing a splash of half n half and it is almost dessert like. Good stuff. No sugar for me since I just started Keto again but I can see the appeal.
