well why are there loads of commercials for tea bags but none for tea leaves?? Quite simply, it's advertising for connesiuers (can't spell) why don't we see adverts for different types of wine? or differents types of REAL cheese or different types of pasta??
As I've found most ppl in this country don't drink real coffee! Aside from the people who frequent places like costa coffee, and even then its not really filter coffee, more of an espresso. the best coffee in my eyes is either 100% arabica or 100% columbian makes for delicious coffee, and tbh the best ive ever found was at Tescos and its also got almost the best price =P
PeelerPal,
you are missing the point, coffee beans and instant coffee are totally different in the way they are processed, the way they are used to make the finished product and most importantly, the way they taste.
Loose tea leaves and tea bags are the same thing, except one is in a bag and both produce essentially the same tasting brew (unless you are a tea expert).
I have seen plenty of ads for wine, cheese and pasta but not one for coffee beans.
