    I wouldn’t even call it a luxury. Hasn’t been for years.

      You bring up an interesting point.

      Most people wouldn’t consider a cup of tea to be luxurious at all. But if tea was scarce and you only got one cup a year, it would seem absolutely amazing, a special occasion and you’d really savour the experience.

      There’s definitely something to be said for luxury which is much more about rarity or restriction rather than the experience itself.
