My old lady pickiness about the tea I drink has gotten worse as I aged. Whenever I travel I would always take a stash of good Canadian Red Rose tea bags in my carry-on. Good quality tea is particularly hard to find in the United States. Lately, though, I’ve noticed that the Red Rose blend doesn’t pack the same punch as it once did. Maybe it’s my aging tastebuds, but are they putting fewer tea leaves in each bag or compromising on quality?

I have now switched allegiance to England’s most popular brand—Yorkshire tea. After sampling their premium Yorkshire Gold I have now converted. It’s available at most grocery stores but if they don’t have the premium “Gold” then it’s available on Amazon. B’bye Red Rose.
