Scottish tea scandal
I like living in Scotland, don't get me wrong, but sometimes
national pride can take a weird path. While I have been living here,
I have always bought Scottish Tea. I am not sure what I was thinking.
I have never been to the highlands, so perhaps there are mighty
tea groves up there, however ...
I just happened to actually read the packet for Scottish tea.
It is designed to be drunk with Scottish water, but the tea comes from
Kenya. What? I can't remember buying English tea, when I was living
in England or the US. I usually just get the supermarket generic
brand. Given the amount of tea I drink in a day this makes fiscal sense.
I am not sure why I am complaing, I actually buy Scottish tea, because
I like the blue colour of the box.
