Tea

[Miss Z]

I'm not a huge fan of tea, particularly fruit teas. However I recently tried a ginger, galangal and turmeric tea - strangely very relaxing!

I also like plain English Breakfast tea. A good one is Yorkshire Tea. I usually get 80 bags of those when I'm in England, but I've recently seen it in a supermarket here.

I too like Yorkshire tea! Although I try to stick with the Red Rose, and buy its lesser known rival, Lancashire tea! I just love the old fashioned map of my home county on the box, especially when I'm away in London.

Whittards are probably the best here in London, their shop in Covent Garden is fantastic.

I haven't come across that one, yet. Do you find there's a lot of difference? I got an English Breakfast tea from Harvey Nics one year, that was good, too. Oh, one place I'd love to shopping for an unlimited amount, is Fortnum and Mason - and I wish BIBA was still open.

In all honesty I find there's barely any difference in taste, it's really just a question of personal allegiance.

I bet the Harvey Nics' tea was indeed rather good!
