Comments on: Are you getting the best value with your tea? http://leafboxtea.com/248/are-you-getting-the-best-value-with-your-tea/ Digital café for tea drinkers Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:35:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: lahikmajoe http://leafboxtea.com/248/are-you-getting-the-best-value-with-your-tea/#comment-7 lahikmajoe Sat, 10 Apr 2010 01:19:58 +0000 http://leafboxtea.com/?p=248#comment-7 This is a well thought out argument, and I appreciate the time it clearly took you to put idea to page. I'm of a few minds on the topics you bring up. First of all, the places in America I visit are upscale, tourist destinations where many Brits and Asians travel. That means the supermarkets there have a decent selection of tea on offer. When I've been places like Kerrville, Texas or Athens, Ohio, they at least have loose-leaf Twinings, and I live. I suffer through, but I survive. Somehow. About the cafes, I don't know what I think about this. Part of me wants to believe we need a Starbucks of tea, but maybe not. I guess I agree with you, Pete, that the selection in the supermarket is crucial. Maybe the most important thing. Good questions raised. Thanks for this.
