I learned this lesson in the tea exchange. I was told they were fine as is when I mailed them out and they were marked non-machineable but still wound up getting sliced up, although I think it was the mail carriers since they were clean slices and it was nearly all of them that I sent out. Never send a loose tea bag....I think they thought it was pot. Yeah, ginger and cinnamon teas. Smoke that!

Chuckling at Tea bag smoking remark!!! Almost choked on my oatmeal!!

I almost always mark my packages "Hand Cancel, please!

I know that some of you gets a big chuckle when I write on my packages..."Do NOT fold, bend, spindle, or mutilate" on my packages, but hey, it gets them there in one piece!!!
