Surely there must be a 1kg package apart from the ones always used, that of Chinese tea. I would think that there is a good production opening for new bag makers.
I can picture the scene has it is now! Police, "what have you there", "tea" the young man replied.
It's just advertised to the police. Look I have 1kg of Chinese tea, not really, It's meth.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
