Done to a tea

Mighty Leaf Tea has a mighty following, and those who know it from the West Coast are gleeful to find the bags, which contain loose tea leaves, in the East. The artisanal blends come in little hand-crafted silken pouches that are biodegradable. Smooth, rich, and strong with bright flavors, we're still partial to the black teas (organic Earl Grey and Breakfast, in particular), but there are also herb and fruited teas, some with spices, some flavored, green, and white - in a variety of samplers as well as boxes. Prices vary from 30 cents to $2 per bag. You get all the benefits of brewing leaves, without the mess. Available at many Stop & Shop, Shaw's, Hannaford, and Whole Foods locations.
