Ultra Premium Flavored Teas

It has been a year since this topic was introduced; I wonder if anyone’s opinion has changed?

I would have to answer yes and no. I would be willing to pay for truly premium products, but it is not within my budget to do a whole $60. I would be very willing to pay for a smaller amount though, say $15/ 0.5oz.

I remember a time when people would have laughed you right out the door at the thought of paying for water. But thanks to marketing, for some reason now there is a large portion of the population that is afraid of the water coming out of their tap (at pennies a gallon), that now pay to drink only bottled water, most basically tap water run through nothing more fancy than a Brita filter, at $10/gallon.

nope. I break the bank at times for a gyokuro high grade at times, but only then as a special treat. Adding flavours to high end gourmet teas would def. kill any tea for me.
flavoured teas also have a much shorter shelf life than ‘normal’ gourmet teas, so placing yourself at the very top end of this market, would def. be risky, it’s an endeavour I would personally not dare to take.

I do invest in gourmet teas, but your price range would be out out of my reach.

I would be willing to try a sample, if that were reasonably priced. Was actually thinking of wanting to try high end white tea with strawberries or a berry mixture. I know that might seem like a waste to some people but I think it would taste great.

Nope, nope, nope! I may miss out on a lot by not being willing to invest that kind of money into teas, but, I will definitely not gouge myself as a consumer by expressing interest in paying more for less.
