Get thyself to a specialised tea shop! Bying tea in the supermarket is something you may get away with in Britain, but in Germany it’s bound to disappoint. However, there are loads of shops selling high-quality tea all over the place.

or perhaps in marketing lingo it would be something like “nice-price” :)

I think cheap would be “billig”, personally I’d translate “Günstig” in this context to be either “affordable” or “low-priced”.

some of them are rather misleading without proper context. “low priced” is probably the closest, while “fortunate” might lead one to think of fortune cookies to go along with the tea … ;)

Thanks for that! I was rather daunted by the 28 meanings suggested by leo.org :)

“Günstig” means “cheap”, so according to your rating you could give it a C&A level (cheap and awful). :)
