It's just comparative; the prices for the latter are higher, and so what comprises a "good deal" may be very different to the equivalent in pu'ercha.

I bought several high end HM oolong when I was in Taiwan. For high end Lishan or Dayuling I usally paid around 2000 NT/100 g, which is about $60 USD/100 g. If this were bought in the USA, you could expect it would be at least 30-40% higher; vendors in the bay area sell many such teas for $20+/ounce.<br /><br />Then of course, Nick Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543497413262895759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-57949047200428517062012-09-28T03:39:35.867+01:002012-09-28T03:39:35.867+01:00This is a really fair point.

It's funny to me that $17/200g could be a "previous" good price for you. To buy a high mountain oolong *in* Taiwan worth drinking, I would say, is not going to happen for less than $15/100 g. Obviously the prices for non-knockoff equivalent of analogous well known teas in mainland Nick Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543497413262895759noreply@blogger.com
