http://www.nmteaco.com/Darjeeling--F...ush_p_514.html is the exact darjeeling I have. 4oz is 1.13398092 for $19.20. It looks like they might do international shipping, I don't know for sure though.
Though based on the origin on that link, it looks like they just buy http://www.uptontea.com/shopcart/ite...sp&itemID=TD61 which is $10 for 100g.

Certainly looks fancier. Unfortunately with tea you really don't know what you're getting. I might get 50g of that though.

Well I guess I'm done shopping at the local shop if they're just buying from that online store and marking the price up. It'd be neat to one day have my own tea store or little cafe of fine teas. I just need to win a lottery first.
edit: Oh yeah I'll also mention that brewing cocoa beans makes a good herbal tea. I just made a mint + cocoa bean brew.
And also, lapsang souchong is good for cooking. You can use it as a broth, or to cook noodles in, or as part of a rub for meat, brewed strongly it could be used as a liquid smoke substitute, etc etc.

Think I'll get cheaper lapsang for that.
Anyway I got some organic first flush Darjeeling and dragon jasmine Phoenix pearls. Both were good, the Darjeeling was pretty standard Darjeeling, but Phoenix pearls were interesting. Like jasmine but weaker and mixed with something else. Both really good teas, anyway.

Got some puerh today and it was probably the best tea I've ever tasted. Something like a complex green flavour, somewhat similar to gunpowder in smokyness. It turns out we have a fantastic store in Sweden, and I went there for the first time today.

Got a yunnan teapot and a really pretty porcelain gaiwan along with a cup.
