And this seems demonstrably borne out by the facts post-Covid.

I know there are supply chain issues which could still be causing problems, but the variety of choice in supermarkets over here has dropped dramatically. My personal example is coffee (which was declining pre-Covid), but since then the range has been cut back sharply - and many supermarket brands disappeared completely for a while. They have come back, but far smaller than before. And tea - I want to buy some Gunpowder, but most of the traditional blends have disappeared. There's a decent choice of fruit teas, but not old-fashioned traditional.

And a lot of brands now seem exclusive to just one or two retailers, where you used to be able to get them everywhere.

Cheers,

Availability of Tea Varieties

You should come to the giant Tesco here in Coventry - I was looking for some lavender tea, because my daughter requested it, and spent fully twenty minutes trying to find it in about 20ft of shelving devoted to tea.

There were *seven varieties* of Rooibos alone, FFS. No lavender, though...
