Sense of relief

[oursin]

Have been looking for Yogi Lemon Ginger Tea in several shops now and failing to find it: what I did find was Green Tea with Lemon and Ginger *NEW*.

DO.NOT.WANT

(Green Tea, for all your monkey hallucination requirements... and even not going that far, have found it perhaps a leeetle over-stimulating.)

I was worried that, as in the case of so many other products, manufacturers cannot be content with a successful item but have to change it or mess around with it or just discontinue it.

But no: going to Yogi Tea website they still list Lemon and Ginger tout court, no green tea, not chai, so it looks as though I have just been unlucky in the shops I looked in.

Okay, there are other brands of Lemon Ginger tea, but this is the nicest, for my taste.

In other consumerist business, have grassed up PC World to the Consumers' Association and Camden Trading Standards Department (since the branch in question is in Camden).

They sell Yogi tea in the health food shop near work - would you like me to see if they have that sort?

Thanks, but I have a few possible sources that I shall be passing myself during the course of the next week or so.

Failing that, you also know someone who lives around the corner from them and has a valid excuse to make requests of their business sales department. *cough* Let me know if you can't sort out a local supply.

Herself was once in daycare with a grandchild of one of the original yogis. They are a colorful local establishment and in recent years have engaged in melodramatic civil lawsuits as the first generation dies off.

I rely on that tea for sore throats and upset stomachs.

Not to destroy a beautiful theory with an ugly fact, but green tea has less caffeine than black tea. Supposedly it does have compounds that can make you hallucinate if you drink it by the gallon, but I can't think of any reason why ordinary quantities should be over-stimulating.

Not that this helps you in anyway, but coincidence:

Just yesterday in the local organic supermarket my kid proudly offered me a box and I didn't buy it! Instead I bought a Higher Living variety pack because shallow me likes the design and I wanted to try something new.
