Interesting that for someone who claims not to like flavored teas,
half of the ones you listed are - jasmine, rose, and black currant
in the Prince of Wales.

But aside from that comment, I can "tolerate" Bigelows or Constant
Comment. God knows, at conferences they're often the closest thing
to tea on the beverage cart.

But Stash and Tazo are on my "I'd rather die of thirst" list. I
just do not like the flavors as they taste artificial.

Now, my Mariage Freres teas are a different story.
