Due to difficult economy, we are always looking for good deals. Whether we are students or a working professional or even a retiree, everyone deserves to drink good teas. But, if you start shopping around, you will notice that lots and lots of vendors are selling overpriced teas. Something we cannot afford to drink daily. Lets venture into why:
Why Are Good Teas Expensive?
Depending upon the grade, quality, cultivar, origin, production volume etc., some teas are expensive than others. Also, many tea sellers spend huge amount of money in marketing and ads. This expense is directly reflected on the cost that the customer pays. If you see the key person of a tea company flying around the globe multiple times a year, you can right away tell that their products are expensive. At least 25% of the price that you pay for their teas are due to their marketing costs.
Secondly it is the reselling that increases the cost. If a certain vendor does not buy directly from the source but only does reselling, then they add profit margin which will reflect on the cost of your tea.
So, basically what I am trying to convey is: The price of the tea necessarily does not dictate if it is a good tea or not. It's the supply chain and operational style.
What’s a Good Price for a Good Grade Loose Leaf Tea?
While we cannot vouch for what other tea sellers have to say, a good cup of tea that you can enjoy everyday should not cost more than 25 cents a cup. And yes, you can find such teas. You can check out our collections as well.
