The dangers of buying loose tea by the weight. I ordered this, which is supposed to be black erva-mate with red fruits and supposed to look like this

The non-local tea shop, whose existence and selection of teas I very much appreciate wrote Me Faltes ( I suspect some subconscious grammar correction, thinking that brazillians would not use the second person of the singular, LOL) on the package and they seem to have packed me this

I need a small rant: IDIOTS! Oh well, I can not go there for them to fix it since it´s not a local shop, and Lembrança was on my wishlist for one day anyway. But sniff, I wanted this. Fazes-me falta, Me Faltas.
oh no! I hate when sellers make mistake :/ There’s nothing they can do to correct situation?
It is on another city 300 kms away and a friend got it for me and it would be too much bother than what is worth! Plus there is something ironically funny about a tea called Me Faltas (meaning I miss you, am missing you) going missing. I am keeping it anyway since it is not awful, the same price anyway and was something on my to check one day list. And it is pretty nice, maybe nicest smoothest mate I have had yet.
