Sorry to be negative but it took them 8 months to notify me my two packets of tea were ready for collection in Buenos Aires a 6 hour round trip away. As long as I first paid the release fee.
The system is a joke.

Good thing tea is not a perishable good.

Still waiting to see if it appears for sale on Mercado Libre...cheaper than having to travel to Buenos Aires and back.

I like this tea which is perfectly acceptable if you use two tea bags.

Green Hills is my local favourite.
But I am sitting on 480 Tetley tea bags to be started when I finish my stash of Typhoo....

So do you go by period or do you select a different tea blend according to your mood/needs?
I am not very fond of tea because I do not like the rubber feeling they leave on the mouth, but certainly I do not have the skills to make proper tea and must be doing something wrong to get it.

Earl Grey is an acquired taste and for me too it leaves a slightly rubbery feel.
Most Brits drink what is known as English Breakfast tea, usually in tea bags and bought in bulk like mate is down here.

English Breakfast tea is my lifetime favorite. Any blend of Assam and Darjeeling. Irish Breakfast also delicious. Fortnum and Mason’s Royal Blend is, well, fit for royalty, by definition!
Depending on the brand, Earl Grey can have a refreshing citrusy overtone from actual bergamot, OR an off taste from chemical “bergamot.” Fortnum and Mason use the real thing, and if I’m remembering correctly, Twinings does as well.
(Reluctantly) Leaving loose teas behind, tea bags are my everyday coin of the realm. Lipton is bitter. Tetley is far better. Typhoo not often found in the US.

I think we brought about 1500 tea bags back from the UK in September, which should last till my next visit in Jan or Feb.

Very expensive though especially with the amount I drink. I now use Taragui loose tea. Three teaspoons to the pot does the trick as long as you give it several minutes to infuse. Have yet to taste anything better...even Liptons tea bags can't beat it.

I totally understand where you are coming from , my friend.
A little bit less in every bag makes for a very happy shareholder.
And the tea drinker we will not notice, unless he is tea drinker from birth.

Trust the Argies to fall short by 1gr. No wonder the tea's as weak as dishwater here.

I drink Dilmah brand, which is imported from Sri Lanka, and available at New Garden.
It is 2 grams per bag. There are several varieties, and it is also sold in bulk by weight. To quote UK Man , I couldn't be arsed to weigh bulk leaves.
Here is the full range: https://newgarden.com.ar/catalogsearch/result/?q=dilmah
I usually drink the Earl Grey and English breakfast. I'd be curious to try the Ceylon one.

My missus got a pizza flour delivered from them this morning. See the food and drink thread and let me know if it's any good.
I have seen that post of yours and I don't know that pizza flour brand. I would never buy a flour that costs 5 dollars per kilo. I am too ignorant to see the difference vs. regular flour that costs less than 1 dollar per kilo, I am afraid.

It's imported from Italy. Not that that'll make any difference to the outcome I suspect.

Argie pizza flour is pretty decent , to be honest.
And a lot cheaper!
