Maria, light is the enemy of tea. We want to be sure that our tea container
is opaque, and air tight as possible. BTW, I think there are several plastic
shops still on Canal Street. Perhaps one of them carries the stuff you like.
It's more pleasant shopping on Canal Street than at Home Depot, seems to me.
