So where do they usually get their tea? I find Sri Lankan tea a good cup and in several brands. Is it one or a few companies like Twinings? What is the holdup? Did the cargo shipping company get caught with “contraband” on board or what?

@cherokeepatti Houthi rebels on shipping vessels in the Red Sea are delaying shipping.

@Nimbus If it’s bad enough they can air-lift tea to England can’t they, maybe charge an extra $1 equivalent per box of tea for it. Either that or start growing some herbs in pots in your gardens there. Not the same as black and green teas though, but still some tasty drinks.
