7. I grew up on this stuff. Every morning with a poached egg, marmalade, english muffins, etc:

Constant Comment Tea

R.C. Bigelow, Inc, better known as the Bigelow Tea Company, is an American tea company based in Fairfield, Connecticut. The company was founded by Ruth C. Bigelow in the late 1940s, based on a recipe she marketed as "Constant Comment" tea. Bigelow is still a 100% family-owned business[1] that markets over 50 varieties of tea, including black and green, as well as herbal teas, all of which are still blended in Fairfield. They also own America's only tea plantation, in Charleston, South Carolina. Although still a privately held company, in 2009 their annual sales were reported to be about $90 million and they have 350 employees.

Leonard Cohen refers to Constant Comment tea in his 1966 song "Suzanne" in the line, "And she feeds you tea and oranges/That come all the way from China." The song began as a poem in 1966, was recorded as a song in 1966 by Judy Collins, and in 1967 by Cohen himself. It refers to a platonic relationship that Cohen had with Suzanne Verdal, the girlfriend of the sculptor Armand Vaillancourt, and visits that Cohen would make to her Montreal apartment to drink Constant Comment tea and take walks by the water.
