Going with the flow with tea speculation I guess. It is like shares. Even XG is being targeted, like 2012 8853 was around 90RMB when released last year now 160RMB, almost doubled in 1 year :lol:

U mean 8853 or Gold? 8853 is said to taste better than other recent year XG higher end products like black gold, white gold, cha huang.

Don't intent to try at the current prices, I'll likely find pure mountain arbor/old tree white paper for less. :lol:

Yesterday I was looking at a reviewed 2004 dry stored zhang jia san dui 250g for less than 150 RMB. Given that shop high prices, one may find the same item for 20-40% less in retail shops :lol:

I came across a season tea drink said, nowadays are paying extra for brand and history, rather than the tea itself. :roll:

Edit: Something I read that's new to me (actually everything is lol). Prices of batches like DY 7572 201 & 202 are pre-determined by official taster. Not really based on material seasons.

This tea is advertised to be a blended tea with aged leaves (no statement about how aged they are). Basically this kind of thing is what dayi is good at and why this tea is a lot more expensive than other dayi - not that any of this justifies its current market price... that's never dayi's concern :mrgreen:

I'm not even sure if the price is pre-determined by official taster - but I do believe the price is pre-determined.
A more cynical saying about dayi price is, step 1, price is determined; step 2, profit margin is determined; step 3, production cost is calculated after considering advertising costs and other costs; step 4, they buy leaves according to their production cost calculated at step 3.
It sounds rather cynical, but I could believe it, and that's basically what everybody else does in the fashion world :wink:

I think most of the branded gold series market around having aged leaves in their blend. Normally around the 100RMB mark. But ya, doesn't justified the speculated price. I think the original released price was acceptable :roll:

Ya that's the other version I heard also. Both versions makes sense to me :lol:

Not only fashion world, but the whole business world.

In the olden days, most successful businessman (Singapore/Malaysia) will jacked up at least 4 times the cost. Then when others start bring similar items they'll 1/2 price their product and stopped selling after they cleared their stocks. :lol:

Some still practice this, but it's harder now with people having more International exposure with item prices.
