"A bolt from the blue! Why aren't they for sale? Is it because you think we can't afford them?"
Shen Yu read through the fans' comments and decided to reply: "Hey dears, these tea leaves are all harvested from old tea trees in the mountains and are specially roasted by our tea factory's Uncle Qiao. We only get a few pounds of it each year, so it's not sold online."
In reality, they did plan on selling it. But tea of this caliber needed to be sold through more strategic channels to maximize profits. If they sold it online, the first hurdle would be the price.
If the price was too high, fans would accuse them of a cash grab. But if it was too low, Tan You would be dissatisfied, because the quality of this batch was truly exceptional. So after mulling it over, Tan You and Fifth Uncle unanimously decided to place this special-grade tea in their own shop, treating it as the store's crown jewel.
