Heheh, Yunnan Sourcing is what I had in mind with “expensive tea from China”. It’s true though, some really aren’t bad, converting from USD just makes it feel more expensive.
That’s a good point, accounting for multiple steeps, some of the lower priced options work out to a pretty sweet deal. I might have to place another YS order now that I’m thinking about it… 😋
I’ve ordered expensive tea direct from China. It was definitely the highest quality I’ve seen. Where do you go for the non-expensive stuff?
TenRen Tea for the good shit, Adagio Teas for mid-to-high quality with a lot of flavor options.
Apparently TenRen also has a retail location in my city, I’ll have to check that out.
I have bought from Yunnan Sourcing in the past and recommend em. There is some expensive tea for sure but tons of affordable ones.
If you don’t mind venturing to r*eddit, r/tea has a vendor list that is very helpful

Ah, maybe we’re looking at different teas though. Bear in mind you can/should steep a lot of them several times.
