Hotels also offer them on the complimentary tea tray....now you're lucky if you get one Tetley amongst the horrors.
HIDDY something is going wrong, I know it, I agree with you again. These things taste as though someone poured Fruit Squash into a cup of tea by accident. I think that they are all vile and the vilest of all is Camomile. These concoctions are fine if you want to cleanse your bowels or urinary tract but if you actually want a cup of tea then have one - these infusions are not for me either.
I have to say that tea with lemon can be very refreshing but since I discovered Punjana tea in Scotland I buy it whenever I can. My husband likes his tea preferably to look as with the contents of the chimney and not that I have been teasing the gnats. Milk? None of your UHT thank you. Ugh! Takes me back to my charter days with those horrid little packets.
