      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.

        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

          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.

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