Just spent nearly 90 € on tea. Is that normal? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

Are you aware of Teepolku? It's another Finnish tea shop, that sells quality loose-leaf tea. They also have a webshop.

    Oh, that's a new one. Haven't been there yet. Should probably check it out at some point.

    I have bought tea from them for a few years now. The majority of their tea is unscented and some traditionally scented teas. Their teas are from different Asian countries, but I think most are from China and Japan. They also have Tea Club for €19 per month, which gets you 2 packs of tea (80 g total) of either light, dark or a mix of light and dark and a live YouTube tasting session/video. And for the past three years, they have also had a tea Christmas calendar, which has about 5g tea each day plus a daily live YouTube tasting session/video.

    Oh wow! Sounds like a great place. I better set a reminder... 6 months from now? Well eventually, I'll run out of tea and I need to go shopping again. In the meanwhile, that link will have to be stored in raindrop.

    Thehuone in Helsinki is another good one which I am sure you are aware of (they also have a webshop). They have some good quality Jasmin tea which I always buy when I cross that. These theas are from The Ounce no? (Based on the bags and the handwriting)

    Correct. The Ounce is one of my favourite tea places. Thehuone has a great selection of gaiwans and other hardware, if I recall. I think that’s the place where I bought my fancy tea bottle for travel purposes.
