Seventy-four green tea listings read on 4 October. Divide each by the bag count it prints and the shelf runs from two rupees a cup to nearly twenty.
Green tea is one of the few grocery shelves where every box tells you how to compare it: the bag count is printed in the title. Divide the 74 listings Amazon returned on 4 October by the counts they state and the shelf runs from Rs. 2.00 a bag to Rs. 19.63 - 9.8 times - while the Rs. 1,049 box with the highest sticker price turns out to be only the fourth dearest cup on it. Three brands sell the same tea in both a 25-bag and a 100-bag box, and all three charge more per bag for the small one. A fourth does the exact opposite.
Every price below was pulled from Amazon India on October 4, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Amazon India coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

Why it earned its spot 9.8 times the cheapest bag, with no published rating at all.
Four things make this shelf legible. First: divide by the bag count, which is printed on nearly every title. The order changes completely when you do - the dearest box here is the fourth dearest bag, and the cheapest bag comes from a 100-bag box priced at Rs. 200. Second: check whether the brand also sells the same tea in the other size. All three that do charge more per bag for the small box, and the penalty is set brand by brand rather than by any rule: Lipton 10%, Tetley 25%, Twinings 32%. Third: treat the second figure on a tile with suspicion. Three of the 24 listings here print a per-100 g rate where a shopper reads a list price, which would have produced badges of 67% and 75% that correspond to no discount at all; none of the 24 publishes a verifiable MRP. Fourth: compare rating counts before price. The pools on this shelf run from none at all to 57,699, and the premium end tends to carry the smaller samples - the Rs. 19.63 bag has no published rating whatsoever, while a Rs. 9.17 one has the biggest pool in the read. If the brief is ordinary daily green tea, the per-bag arithmetic points somewhere specific. Rs. 200 buys 100 bags at Rs. 2.00 each, the cheapest cup in the read; Rs. 404 buys the Amazon house label's 100 bags at Rs. 4.04 with 9,557 ratings behind it; and Rs. 487 buys a 100-bag box of a brand most people know at Rs. 4.87 with 27,662. That ladder is the whole decision on this shelf: you are paying roughly two rupees a bag for the sample size behind the listing, not for a stated specification, because there is barely any specification here to buy. Two things to carry to the checkout. First, look for the same box under a pack size before you buy: one tulsi green tea on this shelf sells as a 25-bag box at Rs. 128 and as a 50-bag twin-pack at Rs. 430, both tiles showing 4.4 stars from 747 ratings, and the twin-pack costs 68% more per bag. Second, the number beside the price is frequently a unit rate rather than an MRP, so a large second figure is not evidence of a discount - on this page not one of 24 listings published a verifiable one. We did not buy, open, weigh, brew or taste anything here, and no health wording on any of these boxes is assessed by us.

Each selling price, rating average, rating count and printed unit rate on this page was read on 4 October 2026 from amazon.in search results for 'green tea bags', 'green tea 100 bags', 'organic green tea bags' and 'lemon green tea bags', logged out, in India, with nothing purchased. Seventy-four unsponsored ASINs were returned; 60 printed a bag count in their own title; 24 are seated here.
We divide the selling price by the number of bags the listing states in its own title and print the result on every card and in the comparison table. It is the one unit nearly every listing on this shelf states, and it is the only figure that compares a 25-bag box with a 100-bag one. Listings printing no count are excluded from the comparison rather than estimated.
Amazon's search results truncate titles at roughly 90 characters, which can cut a '(Pack of 2)' off the end and halve a count. We fetched the full product title for all 24 seated ASINs and corrected one: the Rs. 430 tulsi listing is a 50-bag twin-pack, not a 25-bag box, so it is Rs. 8.60 a bag rather than Rs. 17.20.
Only a minority of these listings state a net weight. Where they do, the weight per bag differs: the Amazon house label states 150 g across 100 bags (1.5 g a bag) and one kahwa states 90 g across 36 (2.5 g a bag). Per-bag price is therefore a comparison of what one brew costs, not of how much tea you get, and no card claims otherwise.
Not one of the 24 seated listings publishes a figure we could verify as a genuine MRP above its selling price. On this shelf amazon.in's second figure is usually its own unit rate: Rs. 504 beside a Rs. 164 box is that box's per-100 g rate, and Rs. 700 beside a Rs. 175 box is the same arithmetic. Printing either as an MRP would assert a saving nobody stated, so every card shows the selling price alone.
Ratings attach to a product rather than to a listing slot, so an identical star average and rating count across two tiles is the standard fingerprint of one product sold under two listings. That is how the Rs. 128 single box and the Rs. 430 twin-pack of the same tulsi green tea - both 4.4 stars from 747 ratings - are treated here as one product record in two pack sizes rather than two products.
Nineteen of the 24 tiles print a per-bag rate that agrees with ours once rounded down. Three print a per-100 g rate instead, one prints zero, and one computes the rate off a single unit of a declared multipack and so understates the count. We report the disagreements as seller-supplied pack data producing an automatic figure, and allege no intent by anyone.
'Weight loss', 'detox', 'antioxidant', 'zero calories', 'immunity', 'metabolism', 'anti aging', 'cognitive booster' and 'certified organic' are the listings' own printed words, reproduced as printed. We did not buy, open, weigh, brew, steep or taste anything on this page, and nothing here evaluates, endorses or disputes any health claim.
In this read of 74 listings on 4 October 2026, the cheapest per bag was a 100-bag box at Rs. 200, or Rs. 2.00 a bag, and the cheapest sticker price among the 24 seated was a 25-bag box at Rs. 128 - which works out dearer, at Rs. 5.12 a bag. Those are two different questions and this shelf answers them differently. Prices and stock change continuously; this describes what four searches returned on one day, so check the live page.
On every brand in this read that sold the same tea in both sizes, yes - but by amounts that vary a lot. Tetley lemon and honey: Rs. 4.87 a bag at 100 against Rs. 6.08 at 25, a 25% premium for the small box. Lipton honey lemon: Rs. 5.60 against Rs. 6.16, a 10% premium. Twinings pure green: Rs. 10.49 against Rs. 13.84, a 32% premium. One brand broke the pattern across different blends: its 50-bag box was Rs. 8.98 a bag where its 25-bag box was Rs. 8.48.
No, and one brand in this read does the opposite. Organic India's tulsi honey lemon sells as a 25-bag box at Rs. 128, or Rs. 5.12 a bag, and as a 50-bag twin-pack at Rs. 430, or Rs. 8.60 a bag - 68% more per bag for buying double. Both tiles show the identical rating pool, 4.4 stars from 747 ratings, so they are one product record in two pack sizes. Tetley, Lipton and Twinings all run the other way, charging 10% to 32% more for their small boxes. Watch the truncated titles: the twin-pack's '(Pack of 2)' only appears on the product page, not in the search result.
Because none of the 24 seated listings published a figure we could verify as a genuine MRP above its selling price. On this shelf the second number amazon.in prints is usually its own unit rate: the Rs. 504 beside a Rs. 164 Lipton box is that box's per-100 g rate, and the Rs. 700 beside a Rs. 175 Eco Valley box is the same arithmetic. Read as MRPs they would have produced badges of 67% and 75% that correspond to no discount anyone offered, so every card here shows the selling price alone.
It can, and this page cannot tell you when. Only a minority of these listings state a net weight at all. Where they do, the weight per bag differs: one 100-bag box states 150 g, or 1.5 g a bag, while a 36-bag kahwa states 90 g, or 2.5 g. So the per-bag price here compares what one brew costs, not how much tea you get, and no card on this page claims otherwise. We did not open, weigh or brew anything.
