Constant Comment has changed over the years. It was much better back in the ‘60s. The orange, clove, and cinnamon were more pronounced back then and the tea was stronger,. When you saw/felt the teabag, you could feel the ‘chunks’ of orange peel and spices in it. Now it’s all homogenized, pasteurized, emulsified, granulated, and standardized.. To get the same equivalent you need two or three teabags.. ;-)

My Mother drank it back when I was younger than 34. That’s how I know these things. (Because I asked her what those lumps in the teabag were. Today’s version has no palpable lumps.. ;-)

Today’s trivia - where is the only tea plantation in the United States located?

I must agree with all of that statement. Yep. You’re right on all of it!

I wouldn’t even hazard a guess about the U.S tea plantation.
