I'm thinking there's another option - asking Adagio to explain the
totally useless tea. There's the off chance that they use a distribution
center for shipping, and don't know that stale tea is being shipped.

I think it was either the 16th or 17th, and when I was connected
earlier, the front page said something like, "Congratulations! This

they did change servers, only not well. Sniffle.
