and now it's back, but with a greater degree of clarity
So it's about taking tea on holiday, not on-board.
Travel Tip #5: Take your own teabags if you're fussy about your morning cuppa. What routines do you have when flying?

Travel Tip #5: When going on holiday abroad, take your own teabags with you if you like a particular flavour or type of tea.
Are there any home comforts you take with you when you go on holiday?

But when does 'discretion' just turn into offering it to everyone who asks? And then if other pax sees/smells the hot chocolate, will they then ask for it and also get it? If crew then say NO to the other pax, then they are left wondering why other pax get special treatment. E.g. did they not fork over the same thousands of pounds for the seat?
In this situation, one person getting special treatment could turn into three or four others feeling let down.

Ok so I might be flamed but Mrs Enigma loves Earl Grey so she takes some from the F lounge and ask a CC member for some hot water and there you go...
Usually travelling to the USA she takes a little stash anyway as she hates the tea in the US.

That said, I did enjoy the catering on that flight.

Basically, the nose douching failed so in the end he decided to use umami.
It's like the other taste, savoury but nice, salt can't be tasted at high altitude so airlines have to heavily season food making it worse. So Heston found umami can be tasted, and created a BA umami menu.
