A lot of it has to do with negative experiences with branded teas. The old famous tea traders like Zhang Yiyuan or Wu Yuetai are more trustworthy, but people in China still tend to buy tea market style, i.e. from small vendors who claim they sell their hometown teas, although there is really no way to verify it.

Infusion here just refers to the solution obtained by soaking the tea leaves in hot water. For reference, you can usually 're-use' or get 2-3 infusions from green tea leaves and up to 8 infusions from wulong teas. Ash,

Good question. Infusion here just refers to the solution obtained by soaking the tea leaves in hot water. For reference, you can usually ‘re-use’ or get 2-3 infusions from green tea leaves and up to 8 infusions from wulong teas.
