I can't even use Lipton's for iced tea any more.

There's a great podcast called "Eat This World" where the host discusses the 
history of various foods, interviews chefs, etc. The episode on tea was 
interesting.

Sir Thomas Lipton wanted to move tea from a highbrow drink to the masses and 
sent out little silk sachets full of tea to markets to get the word out. 
People started steeping the whole sachet in boiling water, and the tea bag 
was invented, unintentionally.
