The only restaurant I recall having a decent cup of tea was
in Boston Pizza. They brought the tea in an actual glazed white
teapot instead of those horrid metal ones that drip everywhere
when you go to pour the tea into the cup.

I was impressed.

Actually now that I think about it I did have some wonderful Jasmine
tea in a Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Hamilton (Ontario) once.
The teapot and cups came to the table as soon as you sat down and was
free of charge.

I am tempted to go back there just for the tea. I wasn't crazy about
the food.
