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.
