I just purchased from Specialteas my idea of a good bulk buy of
loose-leaf Chinese green tea: *2 lbs. 533 Lung Ching plus $4.95 s/h
for $40.35, or $1.26 per oz. delivered.

It isn't their best Dragon Well, since it includes other than the
buds, but the lot I had before was nice. *2 lbs. should last a long
time, so I hope it comes in the re-sealable pouches as before.

Now, if I could figure out how to get the coupons that are evidently
out there, I would like Specialteas even more.

Buying lot of green tea is unadvisable, mostly because the tea itself
will deteriorate over the time.

Also, this post looks like an awkward advertisement.

All right, Tomas, what have you to suggest instead of what I
"advertise"? *My guess is that you are biased against buying "lot of
green tea," but is 2 lbs. really a lot? *If it's as palatable as I
expect, it'll be gone in a year. *Ordering less more often does
increase shipping and handling cost, you know. *bookburn- Hide quoted text -

Upton suggests buying no more than three months worth at a time. For
greens and most blacks, I think that's about right, especially since I
overestimate the amount I need. Toci (In my cup, a second
