Teas That Are Worth the Splurge

I know you didn’t mention Oolong, but American Tea Room’s Milky Oolong is absolutely amazing, as is the Coconut Oolong from the Spice & Tea Exchange.
I’m not big on Green tea, sorry I can’t really comment on that!

I’m pretty cheap when it comes to tea, but I’d pay almost anything for a green shan lin xi that I know is good. After buying some online, though, it also comes in a more roasty variety that isn’t my favourite. If you ever have an opportunity to taste one, I strongly recommend it. I pay about $40 for maybe 8oz of it at my semilocal tea shop, which is a lot of money at one time, but ultimately a better price for a better product than I’ve found most place. It’s just…so good.

TWG Tea from Singapore totally rocks, I really like their Singapore Breakfast and Paris/Singapore blend.
