They are by no means cheap. They do, however, have a good variety of
stuff.

You can find stuff that is somewhat comparable in different aspects
here in Beijing for less, although Da Hong Pao...... really run the
gamut and there's a huge range in terms of taste and prices. Higher
priced is not always better. It really depends on what you want out of
the tea. These days I'm drinking stuff that are about $40 USD for
500g. It's just fine.
