I am being robbed!
Paying through the nose as we do for anything in Sainsburys is always a trial. Yet when I make tea and discover the mug is full of dust because the bag is burst I get annoyed. When I discover a dozen such bags are either empty or emptying across my floor, then I get annoyed again.
So it has been with this box of tea.
This cheap tea, better than most others, I have consumed for years. Never have I found so many tea bags flinging dust across the kitchen. Don't these providers realise I am poor? Don't they realise I am also mean? Don't they realise that when I make tea I expect to find a brown colour in the mug, not whiteness covered with black spots of dust. There is already enough dust in this house, there is no requirement for tea to add to that.
Bah!

We might know that the bags contain only what my mother referred to as 'sweepings', but to make the situation all too clear is, to say the least, tactless.
Fly, I must say I prefer the 'sweepings.' The fuss re tea leaves is too much, and they taste the same, no matter what they say.
Getting any sort of decent tea here is miracle. I found Ceylon teabags - labelled as such - which have been good, but the source has dried up.
Fly, A man has been selling foreign tea dressed up as 'Scottish Tea' to big hotels etc. Now he has been done for fraud! :)
I've started to use leaf tea. The Trades Descriptions Act means they can't put only dust in boxes of leaf tea.
Jenny, This is good, but takes so much time.
