English tea more available?
Is it just me or is true English tea becoming more available at the local supermarket? I can buy both PG Tips and Harrogate Yorkshire Gold and Red in 40 bag boxes easily now at prices lower than on the Internet, i.e., around $4.50 a box. No shipping cost either.

Maybe people are starting to realise that drinking Lipton tea is akin to drinking colored water.

PG Tips is sold all over here, and one place has yorkshire tea and somin' else...haven't seen tetleys though..

I can get PG tips in a number of locations around me, which is great, as its the only real Brit thing I crave on a daily basis. I usually pay $6.99 for 80 at Cost Plus.
