A sipdown! (M: 2, Y: 22) Prompt: A tea you won’t repurchase

Family pot tea

Why I won’t repurchase? Two reasons. First of all, it’s a flavour profile that did not impressed me. Second reason is a bit more unusual, and that are customs issues. UK based companies are outside-EU and clearing it through customs and exchange post office is… just like a small nightmare. It is better recently though, but I will try to find some EU based companies with interesting flavour profiles. TeaCoffeeMarket from Poland seems to have that market which sparks my interest, though I haven’t tried their fruit blends yet.

I wonder if a lot of companies are really suffering because of Brexit? When I “shop” on English sites, there are so many warnings about this can’t shop here or there, etc.

I read a little bit about shipping complications between Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland and it made my head hurt.

I am not sure about suffering, but it is certainly affecting them much more than they have thought for sure. Getting anything from UK is just so hard, EU protects EU market so customs fees, customs itself, but also limitations, health certificates and such are sadly common. Not a win for the UK for sure.
