When I really got interested in teas,
I started buying greater varietys of loose teas.

Then, "the Great China Food Scare" occurred.

I began to wonder;
These teas are grown/prepared
in some of the more obscure parts of the globe.
Who ensures their purity ? their safety ?
What are you really getting in that box of "GoodLuck Tea" ?

Maybe I'm being over sensitive,
but thats when I switched to TWININGS......
???

Twinings is good, but go ahead and give Bigelow's a try.

I like their Earl Gray's more than Twinings. YMMV as always!

I don't think a lot of Chinese tea makes it to the US, most is from
India, Ceylon, and thereabouts. PG Tips is a good tea, I've been
told... I don't drink pond water.

PG Tip IS a good tea! We drink it every morning. Good flavor and you
can make it nice and strong, unlike some teas which take forever to
steep and it's still not terribly strong., It's the best-selling tea
in England, so I can't be alone in this opinion.

If you can find it (international aisle or World Market), I'd
recommend giving it a try!

you're pouring boiling water over it, no? i should imagine that would take
care of most problems.

I bought it for someone as a gift. Amazon has great deals and free
shippiing.
