Organically sealed

Do you know what I find incredibly annoying? When things labeled "organic" have a decidedly not-earth-friendly aspect.
Like this tea I picked up the other day. Just for the record, I generally don't buy organic as a matter of course. I'll pay higher prices for locally grown, preferably using organic methods, and I'll buy organic produce if it looks better, aka fresher. But corporate organic farming just doesn't ring my bell, if you know what I mean. (note * I highly recommend taking a look at that last link. It has a flow chart of which companies own which organic brands.)

I bought this tea because it was on sale. When I got home and saw each tea was individually packaged — in plastic — I groaned dramatically. Most of the high end tea I buy isn't individually packaged, and some of it doesn't even have that little string and paper. The really good stuff is loose tea, and that doesn't have any packing at all.
