What is the actual weight of the product we launched in September? (3,5)

Anybody knows what product was that?

I'd go for this product -> Numo inflatable camping mat

Seems to have been launched round about September and is listed with both a "Real World" weight and an "Actual Weight"

Actual weight -> 468GRAMS

Nothing polarises the Alpkit team quite like hot beverages; sport wise we’re all pretty easy, we all dabble with climbing, paddling, biking, any excuse to get out there, but offer us a brew and the team are split! Tea or coffee, the eternal debate… there are strong feelings and arguments on both sides, but what brand of tea is favoured by the French mixed climbers that we agreed to support this month? (4,3)

---- T--
I suspect the second word of three letters to be TEA
Which would give us ---- TEA
Searched long and hard and even googled all sorts of word combinations included in the clue - can't find anything.

I don't know a brand of tea with 4 letters and my following guesses or not brands - but ways of drinking tea

So my best guesses at present are (in order of preference); Weak Tea / Iced Tea / Cold Tea / Beef Tea / Herb Tea
Unless anyone has any other idea's?

Only 4 letter tea brands I have found so far are: Yogi, Tazo, Tata, Thor, Gold, soBe

Hard today or what?

I have spent half day searching for answer and still have no idea what brand of tea is this

If the link works check it out
It's not from the Alpkit website and nor is it linked. But it's a translated French website that shows an association between Ice Climbing Ecrins, being supported by Alpkit (Drytooling/mixed climbing?). This climbing 'festival' is actually featured on the Alpkit website.
As a coincidence, also supporting the event was Yogi Tea - and a reference is made in badly translated English to someone being comforted by it on climbing sites - badly translated and a tenuous link but hey don't shoot me.
Link won't work and as it's a translated site it's just too long to write out. But you can find it somewhere on kairn.com in the translated mode.

Edit
Just found link to Ecrins ICE 'festival' on Alpkit website - and at the bottom are logo's of all the sponsors - including YOGI TEA
CSI Scotland might have solved the case!

Maybe..maybe not ..that article was dated August 2006!

Qwerty

Ice Climbing Ecrins is held in January not October, Lord of the manor you may be right with Yogi Tea but we need to find reference from October to verify it.
