The paper may have been the problem with Heather's preference. The round Tetley "bags" look like they are made from a different sort of "paper".

Well Jeffrey PMFJI but tea is a whole big subject! If you really like tea don't use bags at all - the paper has a faint taste and the tea quality used in bags is lower than that used in loose tea even of the same brand. It is odd but as a travelling tea drinker about the only tea I see in the "non tea drinking" countries is the undrinkable yellow label Liptons stuff. When I lived and worked in France I never found a local source of drinkable tea, whether this is because of local taste, marketing or just low turnover resulting in staleness I don't know. I am on my way to Montreal on Friday to visit my Aunt and then to work at the Canadian GP then over to Indianapolis for the US GP. I will be taking my own tea bags with me to Indy!
