Green, Sencha okumidori
some random Chinese oolong
White, bai hao yin zhen

Edit: The oolong was pretty good. Mildly floral and fruity. The okumidori was just as good as I expected. Worth the price IMO.

    Oh man.

    I bought some Amber Muscatel Oolong Tea from Taiwan.

    It’s about $50 per 10g. Insanely expensive and I haven’t even tried it yet. I’m trying to find a specific tea I’ve wanted to get ever since I’ve last tasted it back 10 years ago. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

      I’ve never even seen tea that expensive. I knew they exist, but the tea stores I visit don’t sell anything like that. Maybe the owners know that most customers wouldn’t understand a product like that.

        Boutique teas are really low margins so I wouldn’t expect that from normal stores.

        Can’t expect many stores to stock such expensive tea without any clientele.

          On what basis are you making this claim?

          That said the conclusion stands regardless. Only some shops stock these teas.
