Dear Lara, I'll make you a deal. You are on the right path but just
haven't taken the step of chucking the stuff down the toilet. If you
promise to throw it out, I will send you the equivalent weight in
decent quality fairly fresh Chinese green tea (Long-Jin). Just e-mail
me your address (P.O. box, work or friend's address fine). Believe
me, it's caffeinated. Alternatively, since I'm visiting Boston in a
couple of weeks, you could send your instant green tea to me and I'll
chuck it into the harbor. It will be patriotic.
Best wishes,
Rick.
