i think that demanding and relying on product consistency is a road that ultimately leads to disappointment. even coca cola is not immune to change.

it's doubly difficult with natural products. you can't expect every fuji apple you eat to taste the same. there's flavor variation in a single tree. obviously, a lot can be done with blending to chase consistency, but you can't rely on companies to forever forgo tweaking. you can't even rely on them to stay in business.

have you tried other kinds of teas? unflavored ones? it's liberating to just get a new tea and try to enjoy it for what it is and experience surprise instead of chasing consistency every time.

but i wish you luck with finding an earl gray that's close enough to what you were drinking before. i know i'd be pissed if the sandwich bread i grew up on got discontinued. i don't even think it's the best bread or anything, but i still eat it all the time out of nostalgia.
