So people keep asking me about expensive tea. I'm not sure why this may be some kind of cosmic coincidence, and the higher power to feel the subject, on the whole, is the source of my frustration. To be honest, this may be a good thing, I have the opportunity to share some facts and explain this issue, but it also serves as a constant reminder that we are far behind other countries, the most incredible drink we know. When it comes to the point of the story-what about expensive tea? First of all, 95% of the tea is very cheap. This percentage contains most of the "high-end" available harvests, some truly amazing rich and complex flavors for the pleasure of drinking. Compared with most other luxuries such as cigars and wine (yes, I do keep mentioning these two as a relative reference), tea is cheap. Let's look at an example to illustrate my point: $160 a pound of tea. This is something I have tried recently (and it is also very good), and some people commented that its price is quite high.

Well, once you break down the actual cost of each cup of tea, $160 per pound of high-end tea is actually an amazing deal! For high-quality bulk tea, you can soak the same tea two to five times (here's a brief tip: don't let the tea dry, soak them in warm water). 3 grams of leaves is enough for a cup of 8 ounces. As a result, the net cost of one shot per cup is less than $1, and if you brew five times, the net cost per cup is less than 20 cents. In either case, the price is higher than a cup of Starbucks coffee or a cup of good wine! Considering the many things involved in the production of these teas, this is a good deal. For example, look at the story about the manufacture of traditional tea! Taking all factors into account, a cup of high-end tea may be cheaper than a can of soda! In addition to low prices, you can experience a range of complex tastes, explore millennia of traditions, and benefit from the many health benefits of some tea. How can you beat it? That said, the story is incomplete without mentioning the other 5% of tea. You are unlikely to encounter this situation unless you are familiar with a small group of tea lovers who have access to these harvests. Some elusive Japanese black tea can cost more than $1000 per pound (if you're lucky enough to find a real deal, get them to agree to send you some), and the entire bank specializes in stratospherically high-end tea costing more than $200 an ounce. The problem here is that, as an "ordinary person", you may not even be able to afford these things, because people usually say these things long before the picked fruit is dried on the plantation. This is an expensive kind of tea, and some people may argue about the benefits of spending so much money on tea.
