As far as I can tell, Darjeeling and regular old Irish breakfast tea essentially taste the same. But the former is more expensive. I think I've been scammed by Big Tea. (self.showerthoughts)

I'm on a weekend vacation and forgot to bring my tea and the international grocery didn't have it, so I settled for Darjeeling. I can barely notice the difference. It's so subtle that it might as well just be a different tea brand.

We accidentally built an empire looking for new seasonings! It got so bad we started naming our new dishes after where we stole the flavours from!

If you want to salt the tea, that's your business, but at least heat the water first!

Fine. But I’m using the microwave to do it!

Acceptable. We understand that America lacks the infrastructure to support advanced equipment, like the 3kw electric kettle.
