My local shop sells in minimums of 3 ounces, typically 4. Everything I
get is 1/4 lb.

None. Samples don't last long around here. If they're good, they get
consumed. If they're bad, they get tossed.

2. I've got some chamomile and some peppermint that are annoyingly
light and fluffy, and 4 ounces takes more volume than the bags at the
shop will hold.

Now, how many types of teas do we have onhand? About 14. Some get
consumed more rapidly than others.
