Celebrate with me or pity the fool… not sure which. Looks like I last entered a note for this tea almost 3 years ago. I used to drink this everyday and ordered it in loose leaf from Amazon. With shipping it was about $17.
Yesterday I found this on the shelf at Sahara Mart for $8.99. It was Tuesday. That means 10% off! So $8.09 for 500 g of loose leaf. With one resteep that works out to $0.02/cup. Woot!
I just found out the base is chun mee. I love straight chun mee. That helps explain why I love this so. The bergamot is freeze dried so the government makes them label it as flavored. Whatever, it is aromatic and flavorful and cheap.
I went to the store looking for a plain loose green to play with by mixing with herbs growing in my yard. I walked out with this instead because I am a junkie. It’s crazy, what am I going to do with a pound of tea when I already have a cabinet full of sample bags?
I still don’t have plain green tea but this smells so good. My high rating is based on taste divided by value times comfort tea squared. It’s all very scientific.

I bargain shop my tea purchases all the way. The more you save on one the more of a different kind you can buy!
Gotta love 10% Tuesday!

What’s a Sahara Mart? None in our neck of the woods.
Sorry g it is a locally owned shop. This is the only place I have ever found Ahmad tea on the shelves. I mentioned the name for any Hoosier or former IU students who may have been there.
