Yeah, 2lbs. is a ton of tea... but I was thinking of keeping about a
1/2-1lb. for myself and giving the rest away to friends/family. I know
I've gone through 1lb. of Jasmine Green Pearls in less than 6 months
and that is with drinking many other teas as well. I also use tea
canisters that keep the tea for quite a long time. For ~$10 even 1lb.
is a deal if it is fairly decent.

Dunno, I was on the fence too about it and still kind of am.
