tea people should just skip this entry, seriously.

I'm really enjoying this tea drinking. It's so practical. Last night, as usual, I poured left over tea - mostly Irish Breakfast, I think, over ice. I had some left. This morning I had Constant Comment and there were maybe two fingers left. So I mixed it with the leftover from last night and reheated it just now and it was amazingly tasty!

I'm giving serious thought to moving my coffee pot out to the storage closet. I do love the look of less counter space clutter.

I have - and like - the Starbucks instant coffee in those cute little coffee straw thingies. If I need a cup of coffee, I can totally use those.

This is good.

if in your travels you ever come across PG Tips brand tea, grab a box. It's by far my favourite day-to-day tea. Smooth, flavourful, never bitter. Also an equally tasty Dcaf version.

Hard to find, not worth paying stoopid $ for (box should run $5 or less), but puts Twinnings et al to shame.

Thank you! PG Tips is now entered in to my phone shopping list!

PG Tips is actually pretty easy to find. Perennial Tea in the market has it , and so do some of the more gourmet shops. I wouldnt be surprised if Uwajimaya did too,

I love tea. We have a healthy coffee habit, too, but I drink tea (both iced and hot) year round.

One weekend when you're feeling adventuresome, walk down to the market and go to Market Spice. They're in the middle of the market, on the top floor, right before that part that starts going down into the lower floors? They sell both loose and bagged, and their prices are excellent.

If you'd rather the tea come to you, I highly recommend http://www.englishteastore.com/. Their prices are fantastic, especially for loose tea, shipping is okayish (though if you get on their mailing list, they sometimes have free shipping coupons), and their house brands taste great,

Warning, once you start getting into tea beyond just a box of Earl Grey or Irish Breakfast from the grocery store, it can get addictive. :)

(If you are feeling really fancy, go hit Teavana in Pacific Place or Bell Square, but be warned, they're expensive. Fun to go sample at, though. Adaigo Tea (http://www.adagio.com/) has good samples and it's usually pretty easy to get a $5 coupon for them, but honestly, when you have Market Spice right down the hill from you, there's not a lot of reason for ordering tea online. :) )
