Ahh, look what I've gone and done... I've riled up the natives. Sure I
love Lipton green label too, in fact I keep a box of loose at home and
work. It is a great cheap DJ. But the OP was speaking about buying tea
online from vendors and I believe just wanted some basic advice if
Makaibari was a good bet.

I was purposefully keeping my reply simplistic, and yes, I left out
many teas and made some generalizations... but I swear it was for the
greater good. See what happens when you try to give a simple answer
