For those who are into their teas I had a real treat and managed to get hold of one of the rarest teas on the market "Jun Shan" or "Silver needles".
According to tradition it is picked at dawn on only 2 days of the year with white gloves and gold scissors and only the fine silvery tips are taken then allowed to air dry to make a fine white tea. It was only drunk by the Chinese emperors on special occasions.
I bought 30 grams for $60, enough for 3 pots or for the buyers of bulk around $2000 per kilo.
Definitely not your English breakfast tea.
