It was Ceylon breakfast tea from Upton's. Not very high quality.
I suspect a high-grade tea would be better suited, except the
leaf is the wrong size for an espresso machine. The breakfast tea
was practically dust. Maybe using a mortar and pestle would do
the trick, or a coffee grinder. If you try it, I wouldn't use too
much tea, since it expands, whereas coffee doesn't.
