And we've enjoyed a perhaps ridiculously expensive tea, like a true connoisseur. More modest people shopping at our local dedicated tea store [TeaStation](https://teastation.eu/) in Hasselt usually walk out the door with a variant of Earl Grey for `€7` per `100 g`. Suppose they buy three packets and drink it all up in five months. That's `€21`, which is `36%` of the price of those four hundred Lipton teabags! Funny detail: `22.5` packets multiplied by `36 g` equals to `810 g` tea dust in five months, compared to just `300 g` of loose tea: more than triple the weight of the leaves.
