CCmei Yes, you're right. We have tea deliveries from Russia, China, Indonesia.
My opinion is subjective. But I can’t have coffee, but Roibos can.
There are many types of tastes, it would be foolish to impose my taste on you. Since you live in your climatic conditions and I in mine (temperate zone). Yes, and we don’t have many of the finest varieties of tea that I saw in Vienna or Beijing or Osaka.
Since Iran and sanctions were lifted nearby, Afghanistan also began sending saffron for export. Then we have its price lower than say in Europe or Asia.
Yes, you can buy saffron in Russia.
1 gram = 10 dollars. So you can safely drink saffron tea (you can only drink it for 30 days in a row if that).
I like to drink - milk oolong, jasmine tea, sencha, matcha, thyme herbal tea, currant leaf tea, black long leaf tea from India (I don’t know the variety, it’s called on the box).
You probably like other tastes.
But I repeat, I can’t caffeine, and the rooibos that I drank gives me energy (coffee), energy. I liked this taste. We have 1 jar worth $ 7.5 for us, the price of tea with an average salary of $ 150-200 is relatively high. Usually they drink tea at a cost of 30 cents - $ 4.5 per 1 kg. And then a jar of 100 grams - $ 7.5.
Teas are not so branded, but so ordinary.
It’s like in India, you think you can buy loose tea in a small town, but in minimarkets, only the Taj Mahal (tea dust) is sold. At the same time, there is a big bazaar in New Delhi where you can wholesale the most exquisite leaf tea in India.
So I share your opinion. You have your own taste, I have your own.
But I really liked the rooibash that I drank. Unusual taste! I haven’t drunk this before! Very interesting taste.
