Yeah, I chose less than $15 based upon the fact that I apparently can't do maths after 11pm.
I usually choose teas that are in the $18-25/100g range. Not because I'm shopping a price point necessarily, it just works out that way. $25ish is really my upper range for what I'm willing to pay for all but the occasional select shincha or "special edition" teas. There have been a few teas that I've paid $50-60/100g, but then I have only purchased in the smallest quantity available. Obviously, I'm not counting matcha in my calculations. Ha!
On another note, for the first time, I catalogued all of my teas -including samples - because I feel like I'm forgetting teas and risking losing them to just simply going stale.
I have more than 75 different teas. Fortunately for my ability to drink them up, nearly half of these are in "sample" sizes, meaning I'll be able to brew two regular servings from the samples. At least 20 of them are appropriate for iced tea, so I see lots of iced in my immediate future.
I need to clear some of these out, because I plan to make a run up to Seattle, and will likely visit NCTG and FLT. Yay!
