Tea in the UK?

[cindybelle]

Does anyone know if they sell packaged tea in any UK shops? My SIL loves tea and asked for some for Christmas. She has been overseas a lot and I'm sure would love some tea from over there.

I could never handle such long flights.....that's why I love Epcot....I can visit lots of countries all in a day

I remember seeing a shop that sold tea in Epcot a few weeks ago. I cannot remember, however, the name of the brand of tea, but they had a entire shop of this tea. Sorry, I cannot be of more help. I can see the box of the tea, but cannot remember the name.

I think they sell Twinings tea in the UK pavillion.

Thanks for the info!! I would have been suprised if they didn't carry any. I'll be keeping an eye out during my trip in a couple of weeks

i'm coming out from the uk tomorrow, if you want me to bring some over for you i'll be happy to (plus it'll probably be cheaper). pm me if you do.

The Publix Supermarkets have an 'ethnic section' that sell UK tea bags and there is a store at Old Town in Kissimmee that sells British groceries too - both ARE expensive though.

Yes, they do sell Twinings tea in the UK at Epcot. They also sell tea in China and Japan at Epcot. China and Japan had many different brand when I was there a few weeks ago.

We can find Twinnings at most of our local grocery stores so i'm not sure how "special" it would be. Maybe try Japan?

My DD13 and I just did the "Art of Brewing Tea" seminar at EPCOT last week. The hostess, who was a Twinings representative, said that they stock several teas at the EPCOT shop that are not sold anywhere else in the US. One that I particularly remember is the Christmas Tea. The selection of teas at the shop is very good and they offer both loose and bagged teas.
