## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it radiation tested ?**
A: My understanding of Harney and Sons was that they were sending their teas through Germany first, I don't know if still true, because they do Radioactivity testing there. (especially after the tsunami)

**Q: Is this tea organic?**
A: Chris, it does NOT say it's certified organic. If it was organic, it would have to state that on the label.

**Q: how much tea per cup?**
A: The usual for black tea, 1 tsp per 8oz cup of tea.

**Q: Is this a scented tea, like Earl Grey.  Or is it a straight-up black tea that can be drunk with milk?**
A: This is not a flavored or scented tea. It is a black tea blend. As with most teas, if you prefer milk with it, it should be made how you prefer tea.
