Many years ago I found that tea from Canada didn't upset my stomach as did the commercial tea in the US. Therefore, I would be sure to hoard enough for a year. This I did for years. Now, I order the tea.
I would like to suggest that being able to order a box of 216 only or double would keep us using fresher tea. I am alone, without family and I don't intende to open a tea shop. Yes, I know it is a lot of time and bother for a single box of tea....but, I probably won't be looking to order for another two years. God willing. Thanks Vi
