in individually wrapped bags; both brands have been EcoCertified USDA/CERES and have expiration dates imprinted on box. I bought Truleaf Tea varieties just for the glass/twist capped bottles I can repeatedly wash and sterilize using the heat dry dishwasher option. I brew the tea in a glass sun tea jug about 1/2 hr using filtered water and then naturally sweeten and flavor if desired w/lemon, mint, pomegranate, lavender or other tea-friendly organics. Refill the bottles and refrigerate. Very economical, healthy, refreshing, and tasty!

Bigelow mentions they are watching their carbon footprint as well by reducing their use of metal staple closures of their bags. The outside boxes, wrappings, strings are all biodegradable. That's WINNING!
