I read this thread - and talked about it with my husband. Best I can figure out - no one was bothered by the quality of what he/she received - only thought it cost too much.

I mean - what's the fair price of an extensive and exotic tea tasting? I don't have a clue.

I don't think this is in the class of buying watered down crummy drinks for ladies of the night in various countries - like you might get in the Reeperbahn in Hamburg.

Anyway - my husband likes tea. I don't. We'll be sure to get prices in advance before he does any tea tastings.. Robyn
