| - After visiting a tea farm in mainland China, I learned there is not only a difference with taste but also on how the teas level of enhancing your health varies from standard quality all the way to high quality.
Sure, the prices are very high, but the quality of tea is actually of a better quality than what you would find elsewhere (if your tea comes in a tin from Dilmah or Republic of Tea, you know what I mean). And if your only purchases of tea are from Lipton, Celestial Seasonings, Twinings, or Bigelow you will gasp and be totally shocked at the prices.
What I really like is how they have taken the concept of blending teas to create several sensational teas that are so much more robust then the teas separately. It's this artful blending of teas that also demand the higher tea price. So, if you are looking for a good quality tea to drink at home at your leisure, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a tea blend to your liking. But if you just want tea for a one time use, better going to the store and buying a bottle of Tazo.
I've sampled several of the teas, both hot and cold, and all are very good. They use a German rock sugar for some of the teas they sample. But even without the rock sugar the teas are really good. And if you do want the sugar, you can use an alternative like pure cane sugar that is cheaper but is just as good. And if you don't have an air & light tight container, they have a few sizes that are reusable.
Lastly, if the prices are still too high to swallow (no pun intended), I've been told they have sales every once in a while. I'll be looking out for those sales!
