Tea bags and the U.S.P.S.
A kind reader sends along the following cautionary note in response to the idea of sending actual tea bags to the White House or Congress:
actual tea bags will CLOG UP the letter sorting equipment……….BIG TIME………..and might invite postal inspectors to inquire…………
also, more than 1/4″ thick letters, require a SURCHARGE, extra stamp charge, and will PROBABLY BE RETURNED without it the extra surcharge stamps……….
The reader suggests as an alternative:
i would like to do this, but with TEA PAPERS (flattened)….
In other words, try sending the paper wrapper that some tea bags come wrapped in.

Instead why not just empty the tea bags into Boxes and Ship it that way? Imagine if we all sent a 5 pound box of Tea to the White House…
