The differences of cheap and expensive teas?
Whats the difference I want to know if its worth my money to buy more expensive teas like Yin Zhen 300$ a pound instead of 100 pack for 1$ tea bags (Dont really use these I like stash or celestial seasonings)
I can taste a small but noticeable difference between moderately priced loose-leaf and most bagged teas, because the chunks are bigger in loose-leaf and that seems to make the flavor rounder, richer and less bitter. I’ve never tried the super expensive teas, not being made of money.
That said, whether it’s worth your money really depends. How sensitive are your taste buds? How big a part of your budget is $300? Do you *like* the tea bags you currently use? What will expensive tea add to your life?
For me, personally, it’s not worth it. I like bagged tea just fine and I would rather save my money for something that matters a little more to me. I get a pot made with nice loose-leaf tea when I’m at a cafe or restaurant, just as a treat.
Unless tea is your “thing” it’s probably not worth that much of your money, I’m thinking.
