I'm not a collector but over the decades I've never thrown away a tin
from any brand. I'm sure I've got every Twinings even my favorite
Formosa Oolong long gone. One day maybe I can retire as I see them in
antique stores for much more than I paid. During the eighties I use
to buy a tea brand in 1oz tins and I have hundreds of them. Only the
tradename was on the side and lid.
