Shou, sheng, sheng, shou?

I’m suspicious of WCT due to Sohan directly lying about a milk oolong to my face one time. Asked if it was flavored and he said no. Guess what it was?

Worth trying their other teas tho?
I don't think he sells milk oolong.
this was face to face a year or two ago

I've been wondering this too, as I've even seen artists with similarly sized "large yunomi" selling for half a chawan.
