Tetley Tea 40 Tea Bag Count

[Sledgehammer70]

Well I purchased some Tea last week which was suppose to be 80 tea bags... I was sent 480 Tea bags. Now this stuff has a shelf life of about 6 months and I don't think I will be drinking 10 cups of tea per day.

So I am selling each bag for $7.00 which includes shipping & I have 8 bags for sale :)

Also the company I purchased it from told me to keep the extras... how sweet is that? still cost an arm and a leg to get it from the UK :)

[Shorty]

Absolute bargain for you yankees! :D

[Keebler]

2 bags for Keebler!

[Sledgehammer70]

how do you want them sent?

[Keebler]

Whatever's easiest for you... I'm in no dire need. :)

[Sledgehammer70]

Pm me the address :)

One bag = one cup of tea?

-drasnor :fold:

[fatcat]

i think each bag is 40 cups of tea

[Sledgehammer70]

Each main bag has 40 tea bags :)

[Keebler]

One bag = one cup of tea?

Yes... he's selling it by the teabag. :wtf:

[Nomad]

Yes... he's selling it by the teabag. :wtf:

Last time you tried selling it by the teabag didn't you get arrested.

[Keebler]

Warning only.

What happens to tea past it's shelf life? Does it last longer left in its airtight packaging?

[Sledgehammer70]

Unsure... the package has a date stamp on the side saying best if used by...

[CB]

I never really thought of tea as something that expires... When I'm running out of Twinnings Earl Grey, I buy more, but I just dump the new bags into the tin I keep them in... I never really thought about the fact that I never actually hit the bottom of the tin, so the ones at the bottom have been sitting there for 6-7 years now :o

Tea is a plant. Even though it is dried, it's like a bag of chips or any other dried vegetable - it goes stale. It oxidizes. After a week or so, if not kept in an airtight container, the tea is "stale".

Keep it in a pure nitrogen atmosphere for optimal flavour.

[RyderOCZ]

Keep it in a pure nitrogen atmosphere for optimal flavour.So, I should put some in a race tire, since we fill those with Nitrogen? :D :p :eek:

I can see it now.... The latest, greatest, tea "Vault" complete with Nitrogen tank for purging, after you endulge in a cuppa.

[CB]

But, what does being 'stale' actually do to the tea? Does it change how it brews? the flavor it creates? squeeze ratios?

[Winga]

It's like anything that goes stale or passes it's shelf life. It just doesn't taste as good and I suppose it won't give a strong brew.

[primesuspect]

the same thing that happens to any food that goes stale...... It just... "goes stale"... it tastes bad :-/ at least, much worse than it could taste.

[Sledgehammer70]

yeah so buy it now :)

[StainMeNow]

1 bag for me! How does this work now? How I give you monies?

[cambrose]

Paypal Anne?

[StainMeNow]

Ok!

[Keebler]

After a week or so, if not kept in an airtight container, the tea is "stale".
:wtf: Try "month or so".

[primesuspect]

A week.

[Keebler]

Exhibit A: Tetley British Blend comes in an open box with 80 bags. Are you suggesting they expect you to drink 80 bags in 7 days, or that they intend for your tea to taste terrible by the time you finish it? There is no difference between the last bag in one box and the first bag in a fresh box.

[primesuspect]

you're wrong. we both know you have an unskilled palate, mr. all-american.

[StainMeNow]

mr. all-american.

I was not aware you won a beauty contest, Keebs! Grats! Now you have validation of you're teh sex!

[Sledgehammer70]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

[Keebler]

mr. all-american.
OK mr. "I need an extra pound of garlic to taste this"

[primesuspect]

Okay, see - there's your problem: You don't put garlic in your tea! That's no good!

[Sledgehammer70]

I am down to 3 bags left :)

[muddocktor]

Put me down for one, Matt. PM me your paypal address or if you prefer a postal money order, your address.

Mr. Suspect and the Mr. Transformer say that this also makes excellent iced tea, which I am partial to. :D

[Butters]

Okay, so what Flavor tea?

[CB]

Tea flavored

This is funny when you first read it due to a single tea-bag being referred to as a "bag". Consequently it sounds like you're selling each individual tea-bag for $7 each ;)

;D hahah that's great. Reading it again, I can see that now :D

[Keebler]

"480 is tooooo many. I'll sell eight and then be down to a much more reasonable 472." :p

[LawnMM]

You could always dump it in the river =)

[jokke]

Hmm, would be interesting to take a zip from that river:D

[Sledgehammer70]

Is this thread still going?

[muddocktor]

I'd like to know when I will get my tea that I paid you for on Sept 28, Sledge.

[drasnor]
