I realize this is really a "loose leaf tea thread", but can someone recommend to me some excellent individually wrapped bag tea? I've been living on a steady diet of Bigelow tea (mostly black & black + flavor) for about two years now, but I'd like to expand out and see what else there is. I have a steeper, but loose leaf really isn't my thing. I looked through the OP and this was the only individually wrapped stuff I could find, which seems pricey @ $0.40 ea. Compare to $0.10 ea for Bigelow. I'm sure there's a wide variety on Amazon, but choice overload creeps in and it helps to get some direction on the subject. http://www.adagio.com/teabags/index.html

Fryhtaning posted:Just out of curiosity, what makes loose leaf "not your thing"? Flavor? Effort needed to brew a cup? Cost? There may be some misconceptions you're having on one of those notes. Effort. I drink probably 6 cups of tea at work a day, and we have a shared kitchen/break room area. I'd rather not be known as "the guy who leaves his tea poo poo in the sink all the time". There's actually a wide variety of loose leaf tea equipment tucked away in the cupboards, but not being known as "that guy" & getting promoted regularly > ultra high quality tea. I know myself pretty well, and as much as I hate consumerist, disposable culture, this is one area of my life that I'm OK with making an exception for. I know if I used the proper loose leaf tea, looking at my kitchen sink right now, I'd leave a huge mess in the kitchen at least 2-3 times a month, and that's something I have to avoid. Pre-wrapped tea stays fresh for long periods of time and has a very high convenience factor, which is a major plus in an office environment. Cpt.Wacky posted:Twinnings is decent for bagged. Tazo is OK too but I find the different flavors are hit and miss. Oh brilliant, I've found a use for the $50+ in starbucks gift cards I've accumulated over the years! What are some of the flavors I should avoid with Tazo?

surrender posted:Any recommendations for an electric kettle, preferably around $80 or lower and available on Amazon? We ordered this kettle from Amazon for my office/department, three 20-something coffee and tea addicts pretty much had this thing running 12 hours a day for six months with zero issues. Looks like it's going for $70 right now. Amazon's selection has improved dramatically in the last 18 months, but at the time it was one of the best in terms of water volume/power/features (adjustable, accurate digital thermostat). 1.5L is enough water for two personal size french presses.
