Think you picked up on this struggle in this post.<br /><br />This tea really does have something of value. A high cotton candy like sweetness in dry aged storage, however, this doesn't last too many infusions nor does it have much depth.<br /><br />I read a comment by the wise Shah8 when prices were really starting to rise that stated that you should decide on a quality or qualities you wish to pay for in puerh because nowadays to get everything for a low price is simply impossible.<br /><br />I think if you value the above quality in puerh, it could be worth it for you.<br /><br />The "thank you" to Scott was also for going through countless garbage (maybe Malaysian) CNNPs to find, a least, something to value. The fact that it is screened and curated by a Western vendor, commands some of the higher price, I think.<br /><br />Thanks Peter for your viewpoint and conversation.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-65283922283110077032018-04-29T22:03:12.030-07:002018-04-29T22:03:12.030-07:00Matt,

Items may seem rare or scarce, and therefore worth more when presented in the online market, but this is really just lack of alernatives. Consumers think they have a "find". A no name tea like this, in for example malaysia, would cost $20 - 30, possibly even less. Western consumers seem happy to pay a lot of money for this years tea so $85 for an aged tea seems reaonable and I might suggest that if it was too cheap it may not sell. Always interesting to read your blog.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10544967313323315542noreply@blogger.com
