Why is Adagio's Chamomile not packaged in tins?
I was about to order the chamomile but noticed the graphics show the amounts other than the sampler are packed in brown paper bags. Is there a reason for this?

I believe Adagio does that with all "fluffy herbals" as they are simply too light for their volume to be worthwhile selling in tins given that Adagio sells all of their teas by weight and not volume.

Is this something new? Because a long while back my orders for peppermint, spearmint, cha cha and lemongrass teas arrived in tins. Am I correct in assuming that were I to reorder these teas they would not come in a tin or did I misread this?Richard wrote:That is correct--we sell by weight and teas like chamomile and peppermint are extremely light. Also, it helps keep the cost down: bags are much cheaper, and we pass the savings on to you!
Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.

new packaging
Molly,
We had switched nearly a year ago to aluminum-lined paper bags for some of our herbal teas. The inexpensive cost of the tea made it inpracticle to package it in the more-expensive tins. Also, since the teas in question are herbal, they are not as susceptible to air.
