For ahmad tea's black tea, black currant burst, are the tea bags made of paper or plastic? thank you

From my experience the tea bags you put in your cup are made of all natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and silk. The outer packaging of the individual bags are foil coated with plastic for durability and to preserve the flavor and freshness of the tea. I love their teas and the fruit teas especially. Because they are flavored with real fruit each cup will have a different flavor profile from the last just like biting into a piece of fruit some will be sweeter then others some will have a stronger flavor some not so strong. It's the nature of using real fruit instead of artificial flavorings.

Does this tea contain any Stevia? I’m not a fan of that fake sugar taste and I’m trying to find a fruity tea that doesn’t contain any added sweeteners

I’ve been buying Ahmad tea for years and the flavored black teas have only had black tea, fruit pieces and flavoring, but nothing else. And their black teas taste amazing especially the English Breakfast, Primetime and Earl Grey. I buy it directly from the company because some of the teas are not available on Amazon & the only store I found the English breakfast in is World Market/Cost Plus. I have never disliked any of their other types of black tea, but I do have my favorites. If I find a variety box in World Market around Christmas, I will drink try and drink all the teas unless it’s a decaf as I don’t buy it drink decaf. However, I have tried their decaf and I couldn’t tell by the taste that’s its decaf, but I’d rather have herbal tea or white tea at night rather than decaf. PS: I order the Primetime directly from the company because I have never found it in any store. But it’s worth trying as it’s a great tea to drink as it with a little sugar in the raw.😊

what is the expiration date

I received a shipment 6 months ago and the expiration date is July 2016. Of course, your expiration date will be different. I've been receiving regular shipments for years, and sometimes it takes me a while to finish the boxes. I've never had one that's gone stale.

You like Black Current? You'll love this tea!

My wife found this Ahmad Black Current tea in a discount store, and brought some home. We absolutely loved it. Then we couldn't find it any longer. I eventually (should have looked here sooner) found that Amazon had it. Wonderful tea, with a good flavor and amazing aroma.

Not plain black tea

I had had a couple of these in a sampler pack a while back, but did not realize until I read the package this time that it is "very lightly flavored with bergamot." It is not obtrusive and I probably would not have figured it out if I hadn't read it, but if you HATE bergamot, you've been warned.I find it very pleasant, probably one of the nicest decafs I've found so far. PG Tips is nice but kind of screams "THIS IS MADE OF PLANTS" and this tea doesn't do that. It is in fact perfect for evening: a quiet tea in all respects.
