The box was about a foot on each side, made of wood, lined with a waterproof tar paper and wrapped in burlap. Well, they told me it was tea.
Ovaltine is a good thing. Used to have it in the mornings when I was just a lad. |
I doubt we'd find that in any supermarket over here.
You'd probably have to travel up north for special tea like that
