In short, for improved quality and health benefits you should buy cheap plantation teas (preferably gene edited) and not leaves from their wild arbour counterparts in order to experience elevated nutritional and sensory qualities via uniquely fine-tuned flavours.

It makes sense that some selected and improved varieties may be superior to their wilder or ancestral counterparts, especially if the goal of their selection really was flavor and not simply maximal yield.

Flavor seems low down on the list or completely off the list of so many commodity crops where the selection seems focused on yield, pest resistance, sturdiness for mechanical manipulation during growing, harvesting, shipping, and shelf life at the store.
