Two boxes of Red Rose tea on a counter.

Two teabags sitting on a box of red rose tea. The one on the right is larger, mostly because it has a wider margin of “bag”

The mysteries of shrinkflation. The new “redesigned” box on the right is smaller in several dimensions and holds 210 teabags, not 216. But the bags themselves are larger—though it’s hard to say if the actual amount of tea has changed, or just the bag. #RedRoseTea #PreTeaMusings

Red Rose Tea Rant #2 UPDATE: They went back to the OLD way !! Thanks for listening, #redrosetea !
Now if you could stop using staples to attach the tea bag to the string, please !?
Composting is much easier if you don't have to remove the tiny staples first. Thank
you for making delicious tea!

Now here is a flashback moment to my Red Rose Tea 1960s Butterflies of North America booklet. My parents couldn't drink enough tea back in those days. Still have the booklet and all the memories. #butterlies #nature #RedRoseTea
