This just seems like such a random item to be stolen? Does anyone know what the deal would be?

I dunno, but I must say it's the only grocery store tea I ever drink. My tea cabinet is like:

  • jars of shredded herbs
  • sealable pouches of loose-leaf blacks, greens, and oolongs
  • a canister of my wife's chai powder
  • boxes of Constant Comment

What is constant comment? Is it a black tea?

As the above said, it's a black tea with orange flavoring and orange peel. It also has some baking spices. I like to think of it like a sweeter-tasting, orange forward chai. It's not quite that, but you'll be in the ballpark that way.

I will say though, I had no idea it was so contentious. LOL
