Hello Kerry,
Absolutely no problem finding good tasting tea.
The problem in restaurants is that the teabag usually arrives on the side of your cup and you have to add it to luke warm water. You are also are served long-life milk.
No problem when catering for yourself as you can buy great tea and half-and-half milk from supermarkets.
Enjoy!

Just take them with you. You can find english tea out there but it is more pricey so just take your own.

You are allowed to take teabags with you (we always put them in the suitcase).
I don't think we could last a day without our beloved Yorkshire teabags!![msnwink]
I always take a big box of PG Tips and a jar of Nescafe[msnwink]

We take our PG tips with us too, make the tea using bottled water, as it tastes better and reduced fat milk, tastes just like home then.[msnsmile2]
We take our own, but it is available in Publix and Walmart. Think hubby thinks he'll get withdrawal symptoms if he has to wait while we go shopping[msnwink]

When we first started going to Florida we always took our own tea - but you can easily buy it in the supermarkets now.

when in Fl I usually get various green teas, I partiularly like the Tazo tea which starbucks sell in the UK but I can get it at Publix, I usually bring a few boxes back to the UK.
Tea heavan in the Florida Mall also do a good range of loose tea all that's missing for the perfect brew is the Yorkshire water.[msntongue]

I always take PG tips tea bags with me, can't find a decent tea in Florida unless you pay an arm and a leg for British brands

Tea bags are always on the top of my list, of things to pack. [msnwink]
We always take our tea and Nescafe Gold Blend. Even though you can buy them, they still don't taste the same.

Nescafe Tasters Choice looks, tastes and smells exactly the same as Nescafe Gold Blend[msnsmile2]

We always take tea bags and some cereals you are unable to get over there , also Tayto crisps because our crisps eaters dont like the US varieties . I dont mind taking these things out with me because I will not be taking them home just lots of Florida bargains .
