Look at it this way- 10g is two sessions. For the sake of argument, assume you get five 150ml brews per session. That's roughly equivalent to two bottles of wine, and although a $175 bottle is by no means cheap, it's a pittance in the world of high end wine.
So although the price seems ludicrous at first glance, it's far from the most one could spend on beverages.
Very true, but my parents sure dont but $175 bottles and not a hell of alot of people do.

It would be hard to find a tea that costs more per glass than this one.

Or these.

They're certainly not for every day, but neither would that tea.

I would be scared to brew such teas! I'm already scared just brewing up something cheaper like when I received a sample of the 99 Big Green Tree!

Are you a B&B member too? We've got a few on TeaChat– Eastree and myself for certain, and a couple others that I either haven't confirmed or have forgotten about. Welcome!

I'm pretty easy to find there- just look for the avatar.
Oh, and get posting- you only have 100 posts there.

I had the '49, but the '47 holds a very special place in the pantheon of greats. My friend and I recently enjoyed a '61 Petrus, and we have a '45 Latour penciled in for Thanksgiving.
Beautiful picture!

Haha, yeah, I haven't been there in a while. I bought a couple vintage razors, a couple new ones, and eventually just settled in with what I liked. I go back to check out shaving cream reviews when I'm in need of some more, though I guess I should at least participate in the speakeasy and barber shop forums.
Have they come out with the B&B essential brush yet (the one with the clear acrylic handle)?
(Sorry for being so far OT, by the way!)

Or you could 'do a Toki' and brew it for several weeks.
I plan on shelling out for some expensive sheng in a few years, small samples, once I've upped my gong fu and pu-erh palate.
I've always preferred the older stuff and one day I'll try the really good stuff, obviously one day I'll be rich as well.
