Not Covid panic buying this time - but the Red Sea shipping routes are causing disruption to the supply of Tea (amongst other things).

How long will it be before the shelves are bare and tea bags are on ration?

24hrs? Everyone except you, SC and my pal who don't drink tea, will be buying in just in case.

I can let you have some Yorkshire teabags, cheap, if you run out.

Oh dear, might have to grow my own but not sure soil here is acidic enough though I do have a couple of camellia growing and one is about to flower.

There's a Tea plantation about 10 miles away from me. https://www.peterstontea.com/our-roots Camellias thrive here. Only problem is, I'm not a tea (or coffee) drinker!
