Earl Grey teabags, not in individual packets?
I drink mainly earl grey, and subtle not too lemony. All the packs I have bought so far contain teabags in separate individual packets. Not all of them say this on the outside of the pack, but I open them up and there are all the separate packets.
Can anyone recommend any makes, not individually packeted? Ditto for camomile tea?

mmm, it's 'cos it's posh 'n' specialist, innit ?
Sorry - just mucking about - I haven't seen any that is not individually wrapped either - I don't know if that's because they don't anticipate people drinking it all the time, and it not having to last in the cupboard for months on end ?
Do any of the supermarkets do their own 'cheaper' version, I wonder - they may not go as far as individual wraps?!

Most tea is sold as tea bags here but just recently I'm pretty sure I saw some Earl Grey tea sold in loose form at Real Canadian Superstore.

Have you tried a bulk buy at your nearest Costco? I get all my tea bags from there now that my stash from England has finally run out.

If you want loose tea then any specialist tea shop would be able to supply you.

Save on foods in BC have Tetley EG in tea bags, not individually wrapped. Loblaws/Superstore also I believe.

I mean packs of bags where each individual teabag doesn't come in its own plastic/paper individual wrap

Their "Presidents Choice" brands are very good - they also do some VERY nice frozen gateaux
. The New York Deli cheesecake is delicious and so is their Tarte au Citron

Re: Earl Grey teabags, not in individual packets?
If you live anywhere near North Vancouver BC there is an excellent shop called TEA TIME (on Lonsdale Avenue) run by a Brit family (been here 6 years) and they have some wonderful, just wonderful teas. I do recommend their Canadian Breakfast Tea () and their Canadian Green Tea is fun (yes, that one has a hint of maple!! 
)
However, I cannot stand bergamot so cannot advise on their Earl Grey. But it is hugely popular with my guests so I have a small tub of the tetley's Early Grey...
Good luck in your search
