I'm always excited to hear about new tea companies, as each puts their own spin on what is arguably the best beverage in the world. Tea in the City takes the cake! I'm very impressed not only with their packaging, but the quality of the tea itself. My first order consisted of the Georgia Black (which is mild yet aromatic, and delicious) and the Nagiira tea strainer (remarkable craftsmanship - the basket is so finely woven that no tea leaves will end up in your cup). I cannot wait to order more! This company's products are more than worth the international shipping.
