Full of local color, a botanist's world, the politics of the era. And
more about tea that I ever know could exist!

(idiomatic expression "Not for all the tea in China" = I wouldn't do
it no matter what the reward)

I've been drinking "Emperor's Tea" -- top-grade mountain-grown
Taiwane$e green tea for years.

What's your favorite?

Hi Higgs,

The wife and I adore Choice Organic Black Tea:

Know a lot of people that adobe green tea. I never
could abide it: tastes too much like the inside of
a lawn mover bag.

Guess no one else likes tea on the group. Tea is a wonderful
indulgence
