Hair in my tea.
by beckynoel » Jan 14th, '10, 19:13
So I got an Adagio shipment today and was very excited to see/smell all of my new teas. When I opened one of the signature blends I ordered there was a 4 inch grey or blonde strand of hair in it right on top. To be honest, it doesn't bother ME all that much. I have never sent food back that had a piece of hair in it; there are much worse things to find in food! So I just discarded it and brewed my tea.
But this is the second time it's happened. And the first time it was a little worse because it was in a tin of tea I gave to my mother-in-law. We both noticed it at the same time, she pulled it out, made a face, and went along and brewed up the tea anyway. I couldn't tell if she was totally disgusted, but didn't want to offend me by refusing to accept my gift. Kind of awkward.
Like I said, I'm not grossed out by it, and feel a little bad complaining, but just wondered if it is at all common. I figure this tea has been in a number of different places before it got to me, so I wouldn't automatically blame anybody at Adagio.

It happened to me once in a tin of pi lo chun.
I would assume that the tea is probably hand processed and that's how it got there.

Well, sounds like we can rule out Xine.
Never hurts to contact customer service (Xine) directly and let 'em know.

I think I found some in a tin of hoji recently- like 1 inch long.
Meh. Just pulled it out and moved along
