Is the US done winning yet? /s

@Lazarou For a couple of years now, as a gift, I've gotten my spouse a bimonthly subscription to a very small Scottish tea company that makes an outstanding breakfast tea.

They emailed a couple weeks ago to say they're suspending shipments to the US because of the de minimis cancellation.

@Lazarou Anyway if anyone wants a great breakfast tea, I can't recommend Tiree's Crofter highly enough. It's a true Scottish Breakfast Tea so it comes with a wallop of caffeine, but if you're into that...

EDIT: This is of course only for non-US folks for now. We can't get it anymore.

@MichaelTBacon @Lazarou I thought under $100 was still okay?

Though it might take so long now and be so uncertain it's no longer viable.

@marco @MichaelTBacon I think it's the uncertainty more than anything, postal services are finding it easier not to bother at all.

@Lazarou @MichaelTBacon at least my MIL might stop sending us useless tchochkes now 🀣

Sorry about your delicious tea!
