You'd be familiar with the feeling that people are plotting against you by giving you teas flavoured with flowers (except for osmanthus!) and fruits, rather than the traditional tea you asked for?
I feel this where I have my lunch.
Maybe they were giving me green tea flavoured with vanilla rather than the sencha I asked for?
Or maybe again, they have vanilla flavoured sencha these days?
Now that it food for thought.Perhaps that is the Nancy Reagan effect?
Is this tea with flavours some modern thing?
Speaking of Nancy Reagan, I read Patty Davis's book (which I felt at the time was pretty strong) and then I read her mothers (how do apostrophes work....I need help), which surprised me by showing so much more grace.
But I digress.Tetleys have the Vietnamese tea market sewn up.
Sometimes it was difficult to get a pot of green tea, or whatever the local stuff is.
It's nice to read stories about Vietnamese dissidents.....
living in the hills, drinking too much alcohol, but lots of green tea next morning.
