Twinings Anybody?

I got a lovely surprise in the mail today from Ros. When I opened the bag it had a lovely teacosy and there was a box of Twinings Special Tea Selection with 60 individually wrapped sachets of tea.....but hold on, there is more.....a letter from Quarantine to advise they have quarantined the two packets of Lady Grey tea that has lemon and orange in them. Now I am bamboozled here. I am reading the box of ingredients and it states that the tea is "infused" and "flavoured" with orange, lemon and bergamot. Are these people that work there just stupid or do that just not have any common sense. How can you confuse those words with the fact that this tea does not have orange and lemons pieces in the teabags? So, I ring them. I discussed this with "Paul" who tells me he can see that its says it is "infused" and that it does have "flavouring" but because it states that it has 3% orange peel and 3% lemon peel it doesn't matter that it says its infused or flavoured with these things. I tell "Paul" to feel free to open one of the teabags to confirm if it has pieces of orange or lemon peel in it..but NO, he won't do that....can you hear me getting annoyed....agghhhh....so I ask him for an email address so I can put a complaint in as I am not happy!!! So....I have put my case forward via email with links to websites with the ingredients and the references of "infused" and "flavoured"......and I will fight on for my Lady Grey teabags.....yes, I am stubborn and I don't care that it might only be a few teabags....its the fact that some of these people need to use some damn common sense...for goodness sake...we can buy these teas in our own damn shops.....they don't get quarantined!!!

I also received in the mail some lovely goodies from Linda...these lovely ladies have been so thoughtful sending me a little something to say thanks for hosting the FRIENDS swap. You know it was really my pleasure to do this and to meet so many great new friends. I really have enjoyed the friendship part of this swap. This cute little owl is going to have a magnet put on the back and put on my fridge. There is a coaster with teabags in the pocket and a teaspoon. Then she has made what I believe is a recipe holder that I can hang on a hook in the kitchen to have the recipe cards handy....oh and a cute bookmark. I do love Mary Englebriet stuff.
