I have always enjoyed a nice hot cup of tea in the morning, then I move on to coffee once I’ve left the house and entered the real world of coffee lovers. My mother always bought and used Lipton tea bags, so that is what I have become attached to and used to all these years. I have a good friend that is urging her friends and family to start buy the Red Rose of tea bags because they have those little Wade figures in them that are becoming a big collectors item, and she would like us to turn her onto the ones that we get for free in the tea bag box along with their hundred or so tea bags.

So last time I went to the grocery store I found the Red Rose tea bags easily enough and put a box in my shopping cart along with the other groceries that I purchased for the week. These tea bags are a bit cheaper than Lipton even though they have a little figurine included, which I thought was pretty cool. It is most unfortunate that the next morning I fixed myself my morning cup of hot tea and the taste just didn’t cut the mustard and I was very disappointed with my purchase. So it looks like I’ll be giving my friend the little cow that I received in the box and I’ll be informing her of my decision to stick with Lipton and she will have to find someone else to turn her onto her little Wades in the future.
