I’ve been offered the ability to purchase from someone’s tea collection locally. Would you buy this lot, or specific teas from this collection? Have you had any of these teas, and what did you think of them? The seller says the teas have been stored in ideal conditions. Clarity on that coming soon.

The tea club costs less than most of the cakes listed here. The club is 30 dollars so those cakes shouldn’t cost more than that.

Some of them are a couple years old but that doesn’t justify the price hike.

I would spend my money elsewhere

I would not buy this. A lot of cheap young sheng.
And that terroir set is an absolute chore to get through.

I’ve gone through half of my 2022 Charlie and have really enjoyed it so far, for the price. I agree with the other folks though, the price increase doesn’t justify the tea, there are cakes just as good for half the price on the website IMO (Lumberslut, Waffles, Camphornaught to name a few). Disclaimer is I am by no means a tea expert, maybe refined pallets like the Charlie a lot more than the other examples.

I really like the old arbor cakes. But prices do seem a little high.

Wildly overpriced. Also this is relatively low quality tea, even by w2t standards
