For Kathryn

[ZT27]

I wanted to thank you for mentioning Inko's iced tea. My grocery store has a lot of organic foods and they had the tea. I tried the regular white tea and it was DELICIOUS cold. Not too sweet. Just right. The big problem is it's almost 3 bucks for a bottle. x( I wonder if I could ask Trader Joe's if they could order it for me? I'll ask them on sunday.

I'm glad you like it! I like the white tea as well (that touch of mint and ginger, which I don't even really taste) makes it nice and fresh. I don't even miss the sweetener!

It is pricey, though, which is why I order by the case, and get a 10% discount. I'm not sure about Trader Joe's, but many health food/natural food stores can do that for you. Though it's interesting that a bigger coop/health food store only offers a 5% discount, and my small, local store offers a 10% discount.

I found a website that sells Inko's iced tea but I am not sure if that's the price you pay for yours at the health food store. I'm trying to figure out what the price should be because I don't want to spend a lot of money. If you have the time, can you please look at the prices for the case on this site-- www.asiafoods.com They have Inko's but you have to type it in.

Thanks!

That seems like a good price. I don't remember what I pay for a case, but normally, it's a little over $2 a bottle, so the 10% discount will take it under that.

BUT, you will have to add on shipping, I assume, and that could be a lot. It's best to try to get it through a store, as you won't have the extra shipping to pay.

FYI: YOu can also get Inko's in tea bags, to brew your own. Not as convenient, I know, but cheaper.
