Fifth Uncle had always been meticulous about caring for the tea trees, and since Mingqian tea was naturally scarce, not many fresh leaves were picked in the end. Fans had even started a spontaneous bidding war for this batch, as everyone understood its quality was exceptional.
To be honest, the fans had hyped the price of the tea to a dizzying figure, but Tan You remained unmoved. "Our tea is excellent, but at the end of the day, it's still just tea, not a luxury item."
"I'll discuss the final price with the village. It will definitely be higher than the autumn tea, but it won't be outrageous. The prices the fans are suggesting are too high. If I really dared to charge that much, I'd be accused of fleecing my own followers."
Tan You's words calmed down both the fans and the villagers. She wasn't wrong. Tea was just tea—a consumable, not a luxury good. A price of ten or twenty thousand was, frankly, far too expensive.
