I sometimes look at the total of my TG order and go "wow". Then I remember that I will not be placing another order for about 3-6 months, dependent on the time of year, how much other tea I have to play with, and how much tea I consume due to changes in weather. So that $160 is spread out over a minimum if 3 months which is about $53 a month. That is a lot less then my Hubby spends on his diet coke habit and I can pretend that my tea is going to help decrease my long term health care costs.
Right, my order total nearly took my breath until I remembered that over half of it was the cup and infuser.
I have a related question for you, now. How do you store your loose leaf teas? Am I going to have to go looking for tins? I know UV light can damage taste/quality of loose leaf teas, so storing them in my present clear acrylic containers that I already have for assorted other things won't work.
