I've read that prices of everything in China are going up, so I wonder if the relatively low prices (40 pounds seems cheap for the most expensive one that sounds a lot like other tea I read about from the highest end of the price spectrum) Essence is charging for their stuff will stay low going forward in Josenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-83096567366433253462011-02-24T08:29:27.433+00:002011-02-24T08:29:27.433+00:00Thanks for the comments, chaps.

However, I recently caved in and (two days ago) ordered a few samples from Yunnan Sourcing. I think a post on another blog prompted me (Falling Leaves?), in which the writer had a session with a sample of the $220 recent production.

Are you down on them because of high price, or have you tried the new stuff and been displeased with quality? I've been wanting to try some of these higher priced cakes, but I am a bit scared to pay the prices asked.Josenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-62101494878727433732011-02-24T05:47:45.858+00:002011-02-24T05:47:45.858+00:00this post rocked.this post rocked.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391009406909467410noreply@blogger.com
