You've recently said that in a PM to me :).
(not a very mysterious déja vu, this one)

The tea stock of an average dutch supermarket. Took this picture this afternoon
The tea I was looking for (chamomile) has been out of stock for weeks now :(.

That's really not a lot of tea to choose from. Over here we have shelves and shelves and walls and walls of different teas in our supermarkets! Which is how I have developed quite an obsession. And chamomile is one of the most common ones!

I think earl grey is most common here.
This supermarket has quite a large amount of tea compared to others.

Haha, show your supermarket :).

Really? We just must really love tea here, must be the British in us...
I promise to take a picture of our tea selection next time at the supermarket, it looks basically the same as yours but x4.

Haha, that's very welcome.

Would it be a good idea to open a 'show your...'-topic and show something different that's easy to take a picture of like every week? Just a thought.
Seems fun to me, but then I'm always overly interested in the way common life in other countries goes...

Everybody here drinks tea. I just think the dutch aren't into much variety?
I heard some americans on TV a couple of years ago who were baffled that the Dutch don't mind having bread with cheese for lunch. Neither do I, I love cheese :)

Do you black tea drinkers add milk or sugar? Maybe it's just me, but I never add either, especially not to Earl Grey.

At home I currently have available: Green tea, peppermint tea, camomile tea, lemongrass, white, black, earl grey, english breakfast, apple, cinnamon and plum, peach, vanilla, ginger and... probably more but I can't remember.

I love tea.

I can't help but be reminded of this :D

:love:

And I usually don't add milk or sugar either! Occasionally I will add a little bit of sugar or honey if I make it too strong... but usually go without.

The character in that vid is surely a newb. Many if not most of those sound like infusions, not tea. ;)

Teas of course have to have Camellia sinensis in them.
