They boiled it for three minutes, (using a timer!) strained it into a small cup and served it to me... Fortunately, it was a 'small' cup.

That should stop soon. Probably not soon enough for you, but soon.

I went to another TK Maxx (hoping they didn't sell it) to buy a few more Ceylon tins. It took me 45 minutes to shuffle there in the darkness after work. I was not disappointed
They still had 3 tins of Pure Ceylon Leaf Tea and 1 tin of Tea Room Blend Leaf Tea. I bought all Ceylon tins

Is it as expensive there as here? I've decided to travel back into Kyoto today and purchase that tin of Ceylon that I saw yesterday. I mean, it really is ridiculously expensive (roughly $40 USD for 125gm) compared to the rest of the Taylors line, but I guess it's worth it. I do like it better than the Fortnum & Mason Ceylon. I'll put an O2 absorber packet into the F&M tin so that tea will stay fresh for years. Then when I run out of the Taylors I'll have that to fall back on.
