Your teas are quite pricey!
This is often the remark we encounter when people see the prices of our teas. Often, it’s people who buy 3 packs of tea bags for 30 kroner at their local supermarket who react this way.
But how expensive is it to drink tea that is harvested according to biodynamic principles at 2000 meters above sea level, far away from pollution, picked early in the spring before insects or weeds have a chance to appear? Tea that is hand-picked and hand-processed after many generations of experienced tea masters. Due to terroir and climate, this tea has an elevated amount of amino acids like L-theanine, which provides an umami taste experience, along with a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Let’s take a look at it:
I’ll choose one of our most expensive teas, which is a black Spring Dawn Keemun tea made specifically for British Queen Elizabeth II.
Spring Dawn Keemun
The price for 25 grams is 285 kr. When brewing a single cup, you use 2 grams of leaves for 200 ml of water. We recommend brewing the tea one cup at a time or for the number of people who will be drinking it. If there are five or more, you brew a liter.
A cup costs about 23 kr., less than a glass of wine or a specialty beer. What is special about Simply Teas is that the tea can be brewed from the same leaves several times; the better the quality, the more brews you can get.
If you follow the brewing instructions on the package, we can brew our Spring Dawn Keemun about 6 times. This means that the price per cup is now under 4 kr. per serving. So ask yourself, how many glasses of wine, beer, soda, sparkling water, juice, or dietary supplements can you get for under 4 kr. per serving?
White Tea – Bai Mu Dan
If you choose another tea, for example, our Bai Mu Dan white tea for 110 kr. for 50 grams, a cup costs about 4.5 kr. If you steep the leaves 6 times, the price is under 75 øre per cup. How many supermarket tea bags can you buy for 0.75 øre each?
So you can see, it makes more sense to buy quality tea rather than commercially grown teas that carry the risk of GMO-modified soy lecithin, chemicals, pesticides, colorings, artificially produced flavorings, nylon, and glue residues.
How do you prioritize?
