the HFS brands have much, much smaller quantites of tea and the cost per tea bag is a lot higher. The volatile oil content is also a lot lower, as you're virtually never getting whole fennel seeds in tea bags from HFS.

There's more to look at than just flat price - look at price per quantity, and quality as well.

If it was easy for people to find high quality, whole seed fennel teas or tea bags with high volatile oil contents, I wouldn't bother carrying this on our website.
