itrytobei've been using Do Ghazal tea as my staple tea, since it gets sold in Turkish supermarkets in 500 g boxes and the price-quality ratio is really good. i bought a box of earl grey like six and a half years ago, but since i mostly drink green tea, i still haven't finished it. on the other hand, i've finished two or three boxes of Do Ghazal green tea in the past two years.
lately i've been drinking more earl grey and have finally almost finished this box. neither of the Turkish supermarkets around the corner had Do Ghazal though! i tried the larger West Asian/Balkan supermarket, but even that one only had Do Ghazal in tea bags. i'm trying Ahmad Tea now, i guess. it's more expensive than i remember Do Ghazal earl grey being, but seeing as food prices have been going up by like 5% per month recently, that may not mean much, plus it's still really cheap at €6.89 for 500 g.
i'd grown fond of Do Ghazal with the familiar boxes. the other reason having to change my everyday tea brand is mildly distressing to me is that i've always relied on Do Ghazal being available and plentiful, and now i've lost that certainty.
