Tea and Sympathy

What I need right now is not so much tea and sympathy, but a close source of Bromley naturally decaffeinated tea. It is the only decaf beverage, other than Starbucks coffee, that tastes like its regular counterpart. Although my tastes in food are embarrassingly simple and I often can't taste certain flavors, caffeine -- or lack of it -- is different.

Forget those old coffee commercials with Andrea Marcovicci. Caffeine does have a taste. So do virtually all decaffeinated drinks. Most decaffeinated teas taste almost like herb teas. Stop & Shop's decaf tea tastes bitter. Coca-Cola without caffeine tastes weak. If it's diet decaf, it's worse Why bother drinking it at all? Sanka? Whatever undesirable elements there may be in caffeine must be safer than the chemical taste of Sanka. I know that many companies offer natural processes to reduce or remove most caffeine, but the resulting beverage still isn't as good. Bromley gets it right.

The problem is that I can no longer find it! If anyone has a lead (other than online), please let me know. Even one of my favorite tea sources, Mark T. Wendell (https://marktwendell.com), which sells Indar Tea, France's finest tea, doesn't carry Bromley. My guess is that Bromley is a staple at every British market, but I haven't been to Britain in more than decade. Tazo Earl Grey tea is also excellent, and it is increasingly harder for me to find at area supermarkets. Is there a tea conspiracy? Come to think of it, it's since the rise of the current Tea Party that I've been having a problem finding my favorite teas!
