I don't see why it being in high demand would stop them from offering it in Paris - its one of those things like a unique flagship
It’s about being realistic: why offer a rare tea that possibly never sells, instead of selling it at home where it sells for sure?

There is also an element of Chauvinism to it, pearls to the pigs… there are a lot of items Wistaria has that you won’t get access in Taiwan to either, only pre booking and if you have the connection to the owners.

Right, I have a few exceptional aged 70s, 80s oolong sourced by a friend via the owner at Wistaria, back room top quality.

I’m told he’s not the owner anymore. Apparently he’s got the largest stock of old Puerh in the whole of Asia. They surely won’t run out of anything anytime soon, lol.
