In spite of a trip up from a couple miles down, it still seems to be
intact

Nothing to do with the El Faro, Just another Tote maritime fiasco.
BTW do you really think those packages would look like they just flew off the shelf after being 18.000' underwater?



Probably "decaf" now.

Decaffeinating coffee and tea was accidentally discovered when some
chests containing tea were swept overboard from a freighter during a
storm. The chests were recovered, the tea leaves were dried and used but
people who drank it noticed they didn't get the "buzz" they usually got.

These vacuum packs should be pretty much unaffected. As I said in the
other note, they are saying these containers broke up on or pretty
near the surface.
