Hallo tea drinkers all.
Now you get me where I live, Ron. I am an unabashed tea-addict, drink liters
of the stuff, and most probably my innards are coated with a thick black
layer of tannins. I even was called "theeorgel" ( the organ that plays on
tea rather than air ) by my Mother. Tell me, where (in Seattle) do you get
Red Rose teabags in a plastic bag? I used to be able to get large bags of
tea here imported from Canada,(Larry's) but have not seen them for ages.
Bartell's has cartons on sale once in a while for 2 for $ 5,00 Since I am a
Dutch cheapskate I'd love the information. Not that I want to raise a storm
in a teacup, but......... Yours in orange (pekoe) Jacqueline

Hi, Jacqueline!

I don't know about Bainbridge Island, but I can find the tea at most
supermarkets - Albertson's, Safeway, QFC, etc.  Why not call your local
markets and ask them?  If all else fails, I'd be happy to send you a big,
ol' bag of it.  Or you could see if there's an online ordering service.

Go looking for a loose white and red plastic bag on the tea shelves.

And orange pecoe to you too!

Regards from California,
Reinhard/Ron
