Nice to come home from work and relax with a new video from you lads. Thanks! The tea you reviewed is their most expensive red. Is it worth the cost?
Hey Peter, good question. I’d say the answer depends entirely on your level of interest/enjoyment in black teas. For me personally, I prefer to buy inexpensive but good quality (i.e. Yunnan Sourcing’s blacks) as I do not drink it much and have far more interest in oolongs and pu’erh. That being said, I know Denny likes to buy some more expensive blacks!
I would say that this tea was good quality, notably better than the Qing Pin.
Cheers,

How do the Yezi reds compare to those from YS which are similarly priced?
Thanks.
Nearly every single black tea from Yezitea is in another price range than YS. I’d approximate Yezitea at $7-$14/oz., whereas YS most expensive tea is $6.25/oz. (JJM).
In my opinion, Yunnan Sourcing is significantly better bang for the buck if you can put up with a long wait on shipping.
YS has sales right now.
If you can find the black tea you like on YS US web, it only take 2-5 days for shipping.
