I love most teas but do favor Tetley. Where I live now, outside of Charleston, on John's Island I think, they have the only tea co in America growing tea. They give tours, I went to check it out. It was a private co and it was lost to a big co (biglow tea). They used to sell Charleston Tea in the local stores but I can t find it now. It was very good tea, very fresh. sharet

I got a chuckle out of your reminiscing. Then, re-read where you live now. I have an uncle in Mount Pleasant -- he's with MUSC. How funny!

If you could visit him for a week in Feb/March you would think you were on another planet! Cold snow in Buffalo, flowers blooming all over in Mt pleasant! sharet

I have had the same problem. I generally enjoy the iced tea that I get in restraunts but couldn't find any that tasted good brewed at home. I have recently discovered Blue Diamond tea bags and they are just the ticket for me. Of course everyone's taste buds are different.

I have also changed the way that I "brew" my tea for iced tea after listening to an interview with a tea expert on NPR.
His recommendation was to put regular (not "cold brew" style) tea bags into a pitcher of cold water and then placing that in the fridge to brew slowly (overnight or at least 8 hours). Because it is cold brewed you don't end up with any bitterness. It last a long time in the fridge after making it and it never seems to get too strong, even if I forget to take the tea bag out for a couple of days. Sun tea is supposed to be a big no-no because the temp is perfect for the growth of bacteria.
