There are LIVE bugs in my tea!!!
I would give this negative stars if I would. I always buy numi and have never had a problem (or at least not one I noticed, which mortifies me even more). I store these in an airtight container as soon as I get them. My sister called me today saying she had bugs on her same tea. I went to look at mine and sure enough, stare long enough and you will notice little brown LIVE bugs crawling around the tea. Once you see them, they look huge. I am sooo grossed out. I thought Numi is the top of the top, cream of the crop brand but this is just disgusting. Now, I understand organic means that it can be infested with bugs because it is not heavily sprayed with pesticides as my hubby joked but isn't there some way they can quality control for this not to happen? This has seriously tainted my purchase of loose leaf teas from any brand really. But I certainly won't be paying the high price of numi to be drinking live steamed bugs. Maybe it's a bad batch but I won't take any more chances. I don't pay Numi prices to have to stare down my tea for live creatures. I pay to drink quality tea without worrying about harmful pesticides.
