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.
