Default Tea choices in supermarkets

Over the past year or so I've noticed that most local supermarket
chains are now selling imported tea from the UK and Ireland - brands
such as PG Tips, Lyons, Barry's, and Bewley's - at not unreasonable
prices. There on the shelf, right next to the Lipton and Red Rose.
They are actually becoming commonplace now. While these brands might
not be the pinnacle of tea drinking, they are abundantly superior to
their US counterparts, so I wholeheartedly welcome this trend and hope
it continues.

That being said, often there are still better deals on the Internet. I
ordered some PG Tips from Amazon recently and it averaged about $3.50
per 250 grams. Shipping was free if the order exceeded $50, as I
recall.
