Green, Sencha okumidori
some random Chinese oolong
White, bai hao yin zhen

Edit: The oolong was pretty good. Mildly floral and fruity. The okumidori was just as good as I expected. Worth the price IMO.

    LOL. They will be gone sooner than I imagine.

    I ran out of good tea a while ago, but I didn’t have access to higher quality teas, because I live in a small town. I just went with some generic regular sencha I could find in my local supermarket so that I’ll have at least something reasonably good to drink. Now that I’m visiting a bigger town with better selection, I decided to buy something nicer. Hence, the 3 bags.

    BTW I’ve tried fancy coffee too, and 90 € disappears surprisingly fast. I think these three bags won’t last forever, but they do last significantly longer than the same amount spent on good coffee.

      Are you aware of Teepolku? It’s another Finnish tea shop, that sells quality loose-leaf tea. They also have a webshop.

          I have bought tea from them for a few years now. The majority of their tea is unscented and some traditionally scented teas. Their teas are from different Asian countries, but I think most are from China and Japan. They also have Tea Club for €19 per month, which gets you 2 packs of tea (80 g total) of either light, dark or a mix of light and dark and a live YouTube tasting session/video. And for the past three years, they have also had a tea Christmas calendar, which has about 5g tea each day plus a daily live YouTube tasting session/video.

            Oh wow! Sounds like a great place. I better set a reminder… 6 months from now? Well eventually, I’ll run out of tea and I need to go shopping again. In the meanwhile, that link will have to be stored in raindrop.

              Thehuone in Helsinki is another good one which I am sure you are aware of (they also have a webshop). They have some good quality Jasmin tea which I always buy when I cross that. These theas are from The Ounce no? (Based on the bags and the handwriting)

                Correct. The Ounce is one of my favourite tea places. Thehuone has a great selection of gaiwans and other hardware, if I recall. I think that’s the place where I bought my fancy tea bottle for travel purposes.
