Thursday Tiffin #6: get what you need

The “Republic of Tea” has taken breadth of tea selection marketing and packaging to new frontiers.  Here’s one of their stands in my local Fridge,  advertising teas to fulfill your health needs:

Get What you need - Teas as treatments

Fulfulling health needs is a high profile marketing line, discourse, in the US.  These Teas are advertised for helping you get clear skin, ‘regularity’, sleep, energy and more.  Tea,  the ultimate tonic,  cures everything and comes in a pretty box with a catchy tag line.  Woo…   …how did I resist this?  am I getting what I need without this? I think so….

Remember that purchasing Tea in NW USA is a complex process where the actual (black) teas can be obfuscated by the fancy marketing ploys.
