Default At Sea with No Tea

Always good to check out the Lipton's every ten years or so. See if
they've gotten better or worse, see if your taste buds have changed,
see why more people don't drink tea. I've gotten out my Aldi's brand
tea bags that are at least a year old. They're not as bad now, sort of
like coffee colored water. The cigarette smell has gone out of them.
I won't try them hot again, but I've got them soaking for iced tea.
