Lately unable to find YT or YG in local stores. Within the last year, Wegmans no longer stocks YG loose leaf 8.8g in their International section. YT 2.2 lb is alot of tea. For convenience, I keep a 250g portion in a metal tin with a tightly sealed lid. Years ago, YG 8.8g loose leaf was sold in a round paperboard container with a resealable gold-colored plastic lid.
