    Darn, I shopped today at that Smart and Final Store and could have done a price check on their tea stock.

    They may sell whole leaves. I just don't know for sure. It smells good though. I never put sugar or milk in so I get it straight. (Tetley tea)

    I have a French green tea blend, loose leaf, that is absolutely delicious. I can smell it even if I'm away from my desk, it's magnificent. They put a little orange peel and something else I can't recall for a little extra flavor.

    You can always reheat it.

    I love citrus with teas.

    I drink all my teas black though. The only thing I'll sometimes add is whiskey.

    Yeah, takes too much time. I'm involved with multiple projects. I'm lucky if I get to the bathroom these days.
