Yeah, bagged tea is definitely more cheap compared to those more boutique teas.
But you can get it cheaper in local tea shops or on sites like yunnan sourcing. But: shipping and import
I'm not even a year into seriously being into tea, so I imagine I'll just get more particular over time. I'm still working through a few boxes of various grocery store black and herbal teas, so maybe I'll look around for something different when those start to run out.
I do really love a big pot of green tea while I'm working at my desk job.
My biggest advice:
Stop going to grocery stores and instead try to find a local tea store with loose teas stored in non-see-through containers.
They will usually let you smell the teas and you can determine if they may fit your taste or not.
But watch out: Smell ≠ Taste
And the taste is very dependant on your water hardness (if hard, you should get a water filter) and for how long and how hot you brew it.
Wish you best of luck :)
If you want a starter:
80-90°C water (my cups are ~400ml)
Chinese gunpowder tea (4g is my go to)
1-2 mint leaves (my choice is nana/maroccanian mint)
Brew for 1-2min
If it's a good quality tea, you can reuse the bag and maybe add another 1-2 leaves of mint
