Cafe's Breakfast Tea More Than Acceptable

Ever since I gave up smoking I have been drinking a great deal of water in a tall glass with a straw. I find this arrangement to be as close to the ideal as possible. The result is that I am drinking a good deal less tea, which used to be my preferred beverage while at home. Nevertheless, I still enjoy drinking the occasional cup of tea, which I prefer with the addition of a liberal dose of sugar and two per cent milk.

So it was when I found myself running low on Tetley's Orange Pekoe blend, I made a mental note reminding myself to pick up some more at the local convenience store. This is more expensive than going to a grocery store, but as I don't drive and the store is a fair distance away, it is the best strategy available to me. The only problem was that I happen to be low on cash. My solution to this quandary was to ransack my refrigerator in the hopes of finding some alternative. As it happens, I do have a number of tea blends that would do in a pinch, but nothing that struck my fancy.

Undaunted, I continued to burrow in my kitchen, looking for an acceptable alternative. And in due course I was rewarded by the sight of some English Breakfast tea that came from Destination Cafe, a blend that I have never tried before. So I proceeded to prepare my new found treasure in the normal fashion.

The result was more than satisfactory: The tea was delicious, a more than acceptable alternative to the usual brands.

It would be interesting to learn more about the origins of this tea. I need to make a mental note to learn more about this blend.
