I guess. It's free, as they didn't charge anything
for the replacement; they could have just said "out of
stock" and deleted the price and done nothing to make up.
I like their idea better.

just didn't have the $2 sample sizes. I've got lots of tea
to try, or I'd call them and see what the deal with it is.
