    Bromley Estate Tea

    Wandering aimlessly through the supermarket the other day, I chanced upon a brand of tea that is new to me. It was very reasonably priced, at $2 per hundred bags, and was all black teas.

    I am a mostly coffee drinker, and the coffee I prefer is rich and very strong Colombian. When I do tea (except among my Chinese friends, who prefer very light Chinese teas), I like it brewed dark and strong. The trouble with a lot of teas on the market, it often gets "woody" before it gets to the color I prefer. This Bromley stuff very quickly produces a deep, dark and flavorful cup.

    Especially good with few tsps of honey. If you are a tea freak, you might look for it. You can buy it online, but it seems only in 500 bag quantities for about eighteen bucks. Not bad if you like it.

    Number 1 daughter in California has run out of teabags, she likes a strong brew, a trait inherited from her parents, generally something like PG Tips which is a popular British brand. For some reason they are not easy to obtain so well suggest Bromley otherwise I have the impression we'll have to send some, if the authorities will allow of course.

    Normally our brew is made with loose tea in a Bodum teapot but I do like some green tea on a hot day.

    Suggest to your daughter that she try to find a Fresh and Easy Market somewhere nearby. They are a U.S. division of the huge British Tesco supermarket chain and always carry a good selection of items for Limey ex-pats.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I have one hell of a time finding a store that sells loose tea, other than the Asian markets which sell loose Chinese tea by the pound. I like Chinese teas, but I much prefer a good, strong brew of black or pekoe (which I am told is the same tea but from a different part of the bush). All I can find hereabouts are bags. OK for a cuppa, but not ideal for a pot IMO.

    Alas, these folks are not in your vicinity, but they proudly advertise that they do NOT SELL TEA BAGS.
    My wife uses their products to drain the piggy bank, but that they are worth every penny.

    Thanx, Dale. I shall give them a shout -- a cyber shout, of course.
