When I first started buying tea it was off grocery store shelves. Some were good. Some definitely not. Of those companies that were good I found a common theme in unbleached tea bags. While I prefer loose tea to tea bags, if I had to buy a tin of tea bags it would be from a company like this that pays attention to what their bags are made of and has a good sense of ethical responsibility.
