    Sounds like they are trying. They are bringing in all sorts of people who build these-- would think they, of any state, could afford it.

    Well Yorkshire Gold comes in tea bags as well (probably could get Assam and Darjeeling bags as well, no doubt imported). You can also get your own tea bags.
