Gourmet Tea

Most of the tea consumed is  mass market packaged tea like Lipton, Tetly etc.
They cater for billions of people world wide. However,
they are run of the mill stuff even though the companies will have you  believe
that's the best there is !

But in the recent times the tea market has woken up for the loss of quality in bagged tea.
Now people  want to buy a good quality,
good old loose tea leaves.
That's due to recent  promotion of tea by the tea councils of the
Western countries and a spate of great health benefit news
which emerged in the media.
