I ordered this item about a month ago because it was the most economical option for this peppermint tea. I figured I would have the product for the next 10 years and still not use it all up. BUT I actually tried making iced tea  (three tea bags make a perfect STRONG quart of tea)as someone suggested here. WOW! It is the MOST refreshing drink I have had in a long time and I have just reordered this item, only having one box of 40 tea bags left. My entire family is addicted to this peppermint iced tea and THAT is a good thing since the only thing in this product is peppermint leaves. TRY IT, it is totally amazing as hot tea and iced tea!
