Two Thermal Mugs of Tea

Megan's husband* Dr. Paul has introduced Todd & Holland Tea to his British friends on his base in Afghanistan. It turns out our tea is quite a hit with the English at tea time. "It's great an American can teach an Englishman about tea!" quips Dr. Jon. Earl Grey is his current favorite.
