When I first reviewed this here: http://gluttonette.com/?p=396, I know I found it on Lupicia’s website, but as I executed my attack on the WVF Lupicia earlier this week, the very nice and patient man helping me told me it had been discontinued.
Definitely a sad day, because this tea really gives me massive travel nostalgia, and it manages to remain at a solid 85 in spite of the mistreatment I put it through in terms of varying cup sizes and steeping times and water temperatures.
Everyone’s always very nice about getting me hot water, even on really short flights, but it’s strange how surprised many people are that I bring my own tea. Like, what could possibly be better than the oversteeped, lukewarm English Breakfast we serve? Is it liquid gold?
I now have one last bag left, and I will give it a proper send-off sometime soon.
