    It's a neat idea but I think it's a very expensive price. Their £9.95 price equates to $12.76 per 50grams of tea.

    On the plus side, it’s from small family run farms, the art on the green teas is charming, and it’s the perfect Christmas present for a certain tea-loving friend.

    There is that.

    At first glance I saw they sold green teas but didn't spot whether they sold any white teas. Or I may have missed them. I bet they also sell nice teapots that I haven't checked out yet.

    Have to pay for that store in New Bond Street somehow.

    I don't really see what's to stop one doing the same thing, but making it genuinely personal by writing it and parcelling it up yourself. I mean what you seem to get is a vacuum packed bag with pretend postcard images on each side; what's the appeal? Oh well, I'm very much not the target demographic; I like my tea black with a string on it!

    I get the interest in fine teas, but I'm having a hard time getting my head around the post card part. What do these post cards look like? The web sited doesn't seem to explain. (I'm probably blind.)

    It's basically a picture of the front and back of a postcard printed on a 50gram bag of tea. When you click on VertOlive's supplied link you then need to click on "See how it works" just below the red post box on the web-page that comes up.
