Bulk Teas are as often as not a delusion and a snare, as though they may be good, I being "open" they permit adulteration. AlsOj tea loses its fragrance when it is exposed, as bulk Teas must be, and the fragrance of a Tea should be one of its chief recommenda tions. W rSwl PURE lili @!'»-r mm r\ I?
