There's nothing wrong with enjoying them. The other night I was eating prok
rinds and Dr. Pepper, and enjoyed them very much. However, I don't confuse
pork rinds with foie gras, which I enjoy much more, and which is of a much
higher quality.
Lipton and Red Rose are inexpensive teas. They are not high quality, or
even medium-quality. I use Lipton for iced tea, though, and if I'm sick,
I'll sometimes make a cup for nostalgia's sake.
Enjoy your tea. You might however want to try higher quality teas on
occasion.
