I am not familiar with the Metric system. Can you help me?


Naturally. The conversion chart below may prove useful:

1 kilogram (1000 grams) = 2.2 pounds = 35.3 ounces

1 kilogram  = approximately 325 eight ounce cups of tea

100 grams = 3.53 ounces

1 liter = 33.8 fluid ounces

How can I determine the price per pound?

To determine the price per pound, simply divide the kilogram price by 2.2

Price per Pound = Kilogram Price / 2.2
