Barbarians the lot of them. Barely counts as piss in a cup.
Twinning's is, naturally, the only way forth. Although The East India Company makes a nice brew these days :biggrin:

Easy to do since Americans don't drink much tea and I believe they' already sell Tetley, PG tips and Yorkshire Tea (they are on target and walmart site) already but they're imported so cost a lot more.

My American e-friends got chatting about chocolate they like and many enjoy those Ritter sport bars but theyre made in Germany so cost like $4 compared to £1 here.

I do not see what harm it would do being sold in America. After all, there are plenty of American things, such as McDonald's, in the UK.

Tetley is not tea, it's a thin soup.

There are ones that I would pay that much for, but definitely not theirs...

Twinning's! How plebian.

Personally I do most of my shopping on Amazon/Morrisons now for same day so I tend to purchase Morrison's 'the best' range. They have some great stuff actually, so does M&S.

Good money in tea though now if you can grow it. There's a farm in Scotland in which grows some and sells at about 120 per box. Definitely something to add to Rakas Corp and its efforts to grow wine and tea, slap a big British flag all over and sell it to nationalists everywhere. :tongue:

Being the geek that I am, I have to say that it is "Twining's" not " Twinning's".

I buy Tetley British blend teabags in Walmart.
That said, I don't drink the stuff - I give it to my spouse. :biggrin:

I'm not sharing my Yorkshire tea with her. :tongue:

There is a company growing tea down in Cornwall too. I don't know why tea has never really been grown commercially in the UK, our climate is actually ideal for the Camelia sinensis plant, mild winters and warm, humid summers with plentiful rainfall. There seems to be a persistant myth that it won't grow in this country, but it does, and if somebody spent a few years trialing and developing cultivars perfectly adapted to local climate and soil conditions, we could start producing some really fine quality teas in this country.

All this talk is kind of making me want to start my own tea farm.....
