People in the US. I'd rather loose leaf but it's either not the flavor I want or it's more expensive than bags. Doesn't help that it's less common than bags either. And I'm just looking for some regular black tea. Nothing fancy.

From cheap to very expensive and everything in-between. Big resealable bags to get the per cup price down. Having a couple small canisters you can refill from the bags makes it so you don't open the big bags too often, if you did it every day it would probably get stale.

A very generous reward program that basically gets you 10% back.

And they always give me a few samples with each order. I've been turned on to some new stuff that way.

I usually get a few big bags of my staples (which are medium price) and some smaller weights of nicer stuff for when I want a really good pot.

I get bags for under 0.04$ a cup and the cheapest I see on there is $0.15 a cup. I really doubt the quality is the same but this is the kind of price problem I'm talking about.

Lol I have only one thing of loose tea and it's been sitting in my cupboard for years. I have boxes and boxes of a variety of tea bags... tea isn't expensive.

That's interessting and kinda makes sense. The tea in tea bags is usually the lowest quality and should be cheaper. But in german supermarkets the teabags cost way more than loose tea and are even more expensive than tea from a tea shop. Might just be because most only sell expensive brands and don't have no name bags tho
