Okay I can't deny that this completely works

I threw out the Red Rose shit, and ordered a big box of Yorkshire tea from Amazon.

I shall be brewing it for at least 4 minutes in boiling water, and drinking at least 4 cups a day.

Saxons, man. ...Saxons.

What I find particularly nauseating is that the red rose is the symbol of Lancashire, and these twatbastards named their tea after it.

So it's the Outback Steakhouse of tea brands, then?

I assume it's important to use bottled water.

When I lived in San Francisco, the tap water was yech. When I lived in Tucson, we had a system installed because the water was so hard and full of minerals -- also tasted yech. Here in Portland (suburb of), the water tastes relatively good, but not as good as the areas that get their water from the Bull Run reservoir.

I use tap water for coffee. I suppose if I were to try the tea stuff, I'd be required to use bottled water for purity.

We have good enough tap here, so that's all I use.

I have never used bottled water for tea in my life. I suppose if you're going to drink it out of a Mason Jar or sieve it through a Japanese silk purse or something, then you might want to boil it first so that you can be absolutely sure that the revolting taste has nothing to do with the water.

Other than that, I wouldn't bother.
