_whine_ You have a tea trolley!? I’d give my firstborn child to have a tea trolley! Is your company hiring?

The best I ever get is a co-worker running down to the local coffee shop and bringing me back tea in a styrofoam cup. They charge $2 for lukewarm water and a No Brand teabag, attatched to a plastic strip (which ALWAYS comes off) dispiritedly bobbing in the cup, shedding those little tea leaf crumbles. It’s enough to make a civilized woman cry.

I dislike teabags as a whole. I prefer to make loose tea, blasphemously enough, in a coffee pot reserved for that purpose.

And while I hate lemon as well, the worst thing I have ever seen was what I was served in France when I ordered a tea: a can of tea with ORANGE JUICE in it . . . the resturant had no other. I was appalled, but figured that it must have been a joke that they play on unsuspecting tourists. No one could actually drink that stuff.

Great thread and I appreciate the links. Thanks **Tapioca Dextrin** and **Maeglin**.

I just ordered the green tea sampler and brewer from Adagio.

Is it true you shot a waitress in Reno… just because she brought you an Arnold Palmer by mistake?
