Expat Life - A Cup of Tea
New Expat arrivals be warned! Often a cup of tea in a restaurant here will mean a Lipton tea bag which is a far cry from a PG Tips or Tetley tea bag of the UK! Forewarned is forearmed!
However tea has been having a revolution in USA and no longer does a cup of tea mean a cup of tea. If I'm offered tea in England everybody means English Breakfast tea. So simple.
In New Jersey tea comes in an array of, to be honest, quite fabulous alternatives. There is green tea, white tea, herbal tea, jasmine tea, peppermint tea, pumpkin spice tea etc. They are available in supermarkets and can be quite a refreshing change to the usual cup of Tetley!
Teavana is a Tea store owned by Starbucks which can be found in some upscale malls - like Short Hills Mall nearby and they offer tea in every flavor you could dream of.
Time for tea!
