I was out of town for a few days. I was at a restaurant for breakfast and the menu stated hot tea – a variety of Harney and Sons tea bags. I thought why not. I have been away from tea for a few days and Harney’s is good, even in the bag. So I ordered tea expecting to get a little teapot of hot water and a container that contains a variety of tea bags. Instead I got a cup of hot water and two of these lipton tea bags. It was the only tea they had. I was quite disappointed but I still wanted tea so I stuck with it.
The tea was quite astringent. I could taste orange pekoe but it also seemed like it was mixed with something else, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. There was a sweetness but it was also bitter at the same time. It didn’t really hit the spot but it was better than nothing I guess.

You took it better than I would have if it said H&S on the menu. Lipton iced is acceptable. I rather have Diet Coke, milk, juice, dish water, than this hot.
H&S and lipton are for sure different, this the proof tea is the unloved child of the restaurant card because they just don’t TEA (a contrario of the tea rooms :) ) and consider a tea is just a tea…
You’re nicer than me! I would have asked for something else like hot chocolate. I don’t like it when things aren’t as advertised.
Ha ha. I just really wants some kind of tea at the moment so I took whatever I could get. I was back at the same restaurant two days later and just ordered coffee.
