I thought that I was fairly well informed about tea. I have been ordering loose teas from England for 35 years. I have had some of the best teas (I thought). I saw this listing and was stunned by the price. I said: that stuff is the most expensive tea I have ever seen. It must be good! So, I ordered it. These flowering tea tips are like little crystaline jewels. I steeped a couple and they bloomed in the water. The resulting brew was heavenly. Picture Chinese imperial court level tea. Incredible. Do you think that you have had the best tea? If you haven't experienced this stuff your horizons are ready to expand. Unreal. Such quality. Such flavor. Worth every penny!
