Supermarket tea is lacklustre at best, tea flavoured pesticides at worst.

I've had several people curse me out a bit for introducing them to good tea. Once they've had high quality tea, properly prepared, they recognise the swill used in their office for what it is.

I fully understand way people don't like tea, if their only exposure is poorly prepared ultra cheap rubbish.

This is why I buy my loose leaf from the bulk store. I don't want to get a taste.

I wasted so much money getting fancy with coffee. The last thing I need is to replicate that with something as elegant as tea.
