    Teabags?


    Can anyone recommend a decent tea? (preferably not ones bought from the UK!!!) As all the teabags we've used so far are like dishwater!

    Thanks, Janet.

    You can get British type tea in Publix on the 'ethnic food' section! Best thing is to get everyone who comes over that you know to bring you loads.

    I gave up on Tea Janet!!! Though not addicted back at home to be fair! I use the excuse of the warm weather and wondering around Tourist areas,theme Parks,or being on the beach as my reason for drinking lots of water!!! Believe it or not....I lose weight when we are there, even when there is so much good stuff to eat while in Florida

    Hi Janet,
    There's a small "British shop" at Old Town on the 192 that has UK items that you can not get elsewhere but the problem is that you will probably have to pay around double what you would expect to pay in the UK! I am sure I saw Taylors "Yorkshire Tea" , PG and Typhoo there last time. After reading your post again I wasn't sure whether you meant British tea as you said
    "Preferably not ones bought from the UK". If you are looking for an American tea you may be in for a long search. Our relatives there are always thankful of fresh supplies when we visit.

    My wife insists on packing her own Tetley Tea bags for all our US trips, including Orlando. She refuses to drink any tea bought there.

    sorry for confusion. I meant not relying on relatives and friends bringing them over for us from the UK. We may switch to coffee although i dont mind drinking water, but do like a cuppa first thing. Will try old town. Thanks for replies.

    we are not really bothered about english tea bags, if there is a good american tea bag that has a bit of colour in it, that would help.
