I agree, a herbal infusion is not tea. I do like a cup of "flavoured tea" on occasion and I find Murchies' Hyatt Blend or Orange spice to be the best I've found anywhere so far.

I use a Japanese iron teapot for tea at home. In addition to using boiling water to pour onto the tea leaves I warm up the pot first with boiling water.

BTW, interested Lug tea drinkers coming to the Spring shoot can find Murchies just a few blocks east of the Empress Hotel or in downtown Vancouver. Well worth a visit. For the coffee drinkers, Murchies offers several types, my wife is partial to their Columbia Overroast. I don't drink coffee myself so I can't comment.

Regards,

Greg
