> artificial limiting of supply

It’s a drink produced by one monastic order from (presumably) locally harvested herbs. There most certainly is a natural limit on how much can be sustainably produced before it no longer is the same drink.[1]

They chose to maximise availability over time (and work/pray balance) rather than maximise short term availability.

[1] Where that limit is is of course up for debate, though.
