Nooooo!!!!!

I mostly don't have a problem with Australia's customs regulations. Annoying, yes, but they've managed to keep the country rabies-free, for one thing, so... *shrugs*

So I put up with not being able to buy ornamental daggers (weapons), fun puzzles (wood), or medieval drinking horns (animal products), with a minimum of complaining.

But...

I've just finished my supply of black tea. And we're only here for two more weeks. So I can't really finish another box of tea leaves before we go home... And I can't take them home with me... So I really shouldn't buy more tea... And...

WAAA!!! I WANT MY TEA!!!


How on earth am I supposed to be utterly tealess for a whole fortnight???

Um. You buy a small amount, and donate the leftover to friends/ colleagues/ the kitchen at work?

[immer_am_lesen]

...or maybe there's a local charity/community group that could use your unused teabags, and other food you will no doubt have leftover...?

[velvetwhip]

I suppose you could buy some and leave the rest for a friend...

10 pack of teabags? Do they sell those where you are?

Your Anya icon is making me laugh, thank god I'm not drinking anything myself right now.

As to your problem - I could buy a 24 teabag box and have it gone before I leave, but I tend to drink at least two cups a day. (Although mostly loose-leaf when I can afford it.) So I'd buy a box, plow through it and if anything was left I'd leave it to friends. I've also swiped extras from hotels and coffeehouses.

BTW, when you get home Vitacost.com sells frontier organic loose leaf teas by the pound for a most reasonable price. I like the Assam and the Lapsang Souchong. I really love Harney and sons teas but they're more expensive.)
