I used to drink the heck out of it back when I lived in real winter. I have a distinct taste-smell memory of it. It was a big part of my early adulthood. Hadn’t thought about it in years, but recently started re-drinking herb tea. Looked for it, couldn’t find it. Wrote to Celestial Seasonings about it, they gave me some coupons for their ultra-lame replacement for it. It was so not-Emperor’s Choice I have forgotten the name.
Anyway, I have a cold and I am suffused with nostalgia and longing for the stuff. Let’s start a letter-writing campaign. Occupy Celestial Seasonings or something along those lines. Who’s with me?
It was one of the first teas I remember liking as a kid, and I do miss it! I didn’t even realize it wasn’t being made anymore until a few years ago when I tried to find some.
I don’t know why, but while Emperor’s Choice always agreed with me, anything with rooibos makes my entire skin itch. Presumably, I’m allergic to some degree.
Which just makes Celestial Seasonings total poopyheads in my book. Replacement my sweet patootie…!
I guess they discontinued it because of flagging sales. Also, it might not have been flashy enough for them. They have a lot of flavors like peach mango EXPLOSION these days.
OK, four letters is good. May I suggest that we all write THIS WILL NOT STAND on the envelopes? Just to set a tone?
