What's happened to the tea choices in the UCs?
I am so pleased for the coffee drinkers getting such attention but it seems to have been at the cost of the tea drinkers! In the last few weeks in ORD, IAH and DEN clubs the tea selection has been terrible! There used to be a nice selection of black to flavored teas and now it is Lipton......
Dislike!

I was going to write to 1kvoice but is there a different email for clubs?

I'm a tea drinker as well, but in my experience, even when they were going full-on Numi, they were usually out of the black teas by mid-morning, and sometimes earlier (implying that they did not re-stock every day). In CLE and other out-stations, the UC usually had a full selection. Hubs, especially C-concourse ORD, rarely... (Honestly, I don't think I've EVER been able to find a Numi breakfast tea in that club. It's been Lipton or nothing, for as long as I can remember.)
I realize that caffeinated beverages ought to be a pretty basic inclusion in the UCs, but I don't function w/o my morning tea, and availability has been so unreliable for the last ~year, I'd just started travelling with my own teabags.

I do carry teas for "emergency use" but I don't think I should need to use them regularly in the Club that I am paying for. Where do you draw the line? Carry your own cheese? toilet paper? wine?
I probably wouldn't be so bothered except for all the hoopla going on about the coffee right now!
It seems like a petty point, unless you are a tea drinker.
