Most of the vendors we deal with are encyclopedic
in their knowledge and TRULY offer some of the best tea in the world,
but we also know most of the REAL best tea in the world will never
make it to any of our lips in our lifetimes... a few maybe but I'd
have to mortgage my home, kidnap a prominent Japanese/Chinese family,
and even then I'd doubt my chances at the best in the world.

Hi Dominic! I believe I know what you mean by that... Just as I started to believe (for a few minutes) that perhaps I have tried and learned quite a bunch of things about different teas I realized what a foolish sensation that really was. It happened when what I knew as an earthy (maybe even muddy) dark infusion called Puerh was actually an immense category of teas that comprises dozens and dozens of types and that it can be such an specialized thing that collectors are willing to pay several hundreds of dollars for a few grams of "old" weird tea. After that I saw that happening with all other types of teas and so I said to myself "never ever again think you even suspect to know a single thing about tea". And well, I guess that the most I can say about a tea I have tried is "it was the best tea I remember having, maybe". No, but really, first flush sencha is the best tea in the world (just joking).
