Btw., re: expensive tea.
One year ago I used to finish a good bottle of single malt, £40-60 in 4-6 months.
It lasts for one! year now  Tea substitutes whisky quite often.
On the other hand. 2 years ago I didn't drink whisky... 
Ah, but I did drink some wine and liquor, such as Amaretto
I concede that tea might be very expensive. I have told the owner of The Chinese Tea Company that I won't be able to afford anything above £20. I didn't want her to spend time on me in hopes that she can get a lucrative customer then to be disappointed for wasted time. She dismissed my worries, though 
Some of their more expensive teas, that I would love to try (maybe next lifetime  ):
Phoenix Dan Cong Osmanthus 21.00 – 50grams
Jiu Jiu Jiu Tie Guan Yin Grade A ￡28.00 – 80grams
Dian Hong Golden Buds ￡18.60 – 50grams
Lapsang Souchong Tong Mu ￡16.70 – 40grams [I have been thinking of trying Lapsang Souchong in the office. It has such a powerful flavour, it might overpower bad water and it is a bit cheaper £2.95]
Keemun ￡15.20 – 50grams
Shi Feng Long Jing (Dragon Well Tea) ￡28.00 – 50g (about 6 times more expensive than the one I got from NBTea £9.65 and thought it was good)
An Ji Bai Cha ￡17.00 – 50grams
Expensive?
Look at the prices here:
Imperial Teas of Lincoln and my favourite price £4...
etc.
etc.2
The prices are probably geared towards New Russians mob.
Supreme Iron Buddha Oolong Tea Set 2 x 10g samples (34 cups)* £30.00
