Yeah whisky prices have been leaking too, as well as luxury watches. I wrote a post maybe a decade ago…
Uh, nah
Thanks for sharing that website, I used it to look at a 2006 7542 which had also declined a lot…
Lawrence. Please contact me. No scam.
I have not gone down the aged sheng rabbit hole very far, I am not shocked to see the prices…

You had me there Mr. L! Such a small amount of tea?

There was a little more that I carried back with me, all oolongs, which don’t travel as well.

Interesting. I have experienced “travel shock” with many teas, but never stopped to notice a difference between oolongs and others. Any theory as to why that is? Just the loose leaf vs. compressed nature?

For me that was mainly it – some of the loose leaf was pretty loose and easy to damage in transit.

ha ha ha!! The weird part is, there actually ARE people who think Taiwan Beer is great…mainly seems to be the same foreigners who end up living forever in Taiwan and think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread *cough*..

Yeah, well, there’s no accounting for taste
