If they're expensive enough to hurt your wallet, they're pretty expensive for tea.
Well, they're quite a bit more expensive than that, since they're selling retail to impulse buyers like myself. Their minimum purchase is 2oz, and their high end is *way* high -- $25 for that 2oz. (For the fanciest of their Oolongs.)
But mostly they run $5-10 for the 2oz: still very expensive, but really not all that much to my wallet. This is mostly sticker shock at the concept of spending $10 for 2oz of *anything*. Intellectually, I'm coming to understand that 2oz is quite a bit of tea (indeed, *vastly* cheaper per drink than even cheap bottled iced tea), but I haven't quite internalized that yet...
