While I'm thankful the British are making this effort- have you noticed how many tea-indifferent cranks have commented. hsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118616887446192686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-77512453543656418962013-02-08T22:49:42.760-08:002013-02-08T22:49:42.760-08:00Teabags in flights, the British should invent thos...Teabags in flights, the British should invent those:<br />http://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2013/02/food-and-drink-planes?fsrc=rssHector Konomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626796917703400559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-16342519622880260172012-11-30T20:50:20.445-08:002012-11-30T20:50:20.445-08:00Tazo definitely was a pioneer in tea marketing to ...Tazo definitely was a pioneer in tea marketing to upcharge their tea.

I remember when our then owner first brought their 'brand new' products to sell. They had those few blends, Awake, Zen... something else... Thinking about this is really making me feel old. Anyway, all that rattle to say, I am not 100% certain of why the use of French, though MarshalN's suggestion may be part of it. However the owner, Steve Smith, is a big marketer/entrepeneur, who lived in/still lives in France. They may very well be using French for little more than his love for French things. I seem to remember thinking that the product back then was a marketers wet dream, so I can't imagine it has changed all that much...discipleofthetealeafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951770887062358879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-4477606121109304572012-11-28T01:14:40.315-08:002012-11-28T01:14:40.315-08:00Ah, tea on a plane is always a risky endeavour :) ...Ah, tea on a plane is always a risky endeavour :) and no, I can't imagine Las Vegas having a vibrant tea culture!
