Oh V-dere almost had me.
I am a tea guy and dont mind spending more on a good tea as well.
But then I saw not the price the quantity of tea: A cute tin filled with 5 tea bags! (for €17,49)

Lets be generous here and say that those teabags are above average at 3 grams of tea per bag.
That still only makes 15g of tea per tin.

Or, to use a more common measurement when shopping for tea:
116,60 € / 100g

Thats stupid expensive, in my local tea shop I know that only the most high grade matcha teas can compete with such prices (Kagoshima Keiko Supreme Bio Matcha 116€/100g). Not the most expensive matcha but you get the idea. But those are not hand-picked half-shade matcha leaves, the Vdere teas are either aromatic black teas or just herbal.

So, for comparisons sake, lets try to find an equivalent:

Aromatic Black Tea: FLORAGOLD Bio Earl Grey - 20,70 €/100g
Herbal: Chamomile Lemon Bio - 55,00 €/120g

I don't doubt that those teas will sell fairly well, those girls are kinda popular, after all. But here I am paying more than just a small bonus to have anime girls on my product. And 5 tea bags is ridiculous, I drink 3 to 7 cups of tea a day. That tiny amount alone isnt worth it.

And I haven't even touched the shipping costs lol lmao
i think the draw of these are the cute tins more than the actual tea itself

holy fancy tea, these are instangramable teas with fancy tins, glitter and a lot of fruit and caramel flavours, definitely not for the tea drinking demografic and way more for the Starbucks/Panera sweet drink market

I'm sure there's a significant markup, but even ignoring the whole vtuber merch part entirely it's normal for a tin of teabags to cost maybe twice what the contents would cost as bulk loose leaf.
Gonna be honest, I'm glad I'm a pleb-tier tea drinker, I can get a box of 80 PG Tips teabags in Tesco for three quid :SelenHAHAhere:


It really does feel like Jelly and Panko have both stopped giving a fuck entirely, we have a new exploitable clip like this from one or the other of them every couple of days :whatastory:

most people are not buying 100g worth of tea they are buying a tin or 2 to support their oshi of choice lets be honest your paying for the "cute tin" which ive seen priced locally anywhere between 5-20$ so hypothetically id be paying for the tin with some bonus crappy tea in.

Did your math factor in shipping.
Also 7 cups of tea a day. What are you 60 years old?
7 is fairly normal for a "tea drinker" 3 at the major meal times (morning noon and night) and 3 more in the between times give or take an extra. on the whole coffee drinkers are worse going 10ish on average from the sample size of everyone i know even worse if you factor in they are drinking those foam cups that hold more liquid then a Teacup would. even the small.

i am the only sane tea drinker here send help.

I'd love to get new reactions or swap some of them

:fishmandispair: :shiinasadbee:
another no one asked moment:

I would remove the simple like, leave only the agreed, remove autistic, since autistic winner does the job, remove ???? and leave only WTF (not so sure about it though), remove mad at the internet

new reactions: SAD (either keanu reeves sakana or sad bee); BASED (perhaps pepe the frog x jelly fussioned); and a FAQ U reaction (another miko face)

That's still overpriced for a cute tin. The oshi tax isn't worth it. And ten cups of coffee? Are those people insane?

Don't give them ideas to remove the migo.

Yes. The local baristas I'm sure have seen worse horror stories as for personal experience no you retards decaf does not mean it's ok to consume more sludge in a mug.

as someone who bought a $18 (pre-shipping) water bottle from hololive that doesnt even retain heat and I could have bought a 30 cents water bottle that does the exact same thing from the conbini.

This pricing is completely absurd, I cant believe V-dere could have done this!!!!!!!

Blue dorito adds value to anything, if they stop making the bottles then they'll be worth gorillions in a few years!

Just think of it like a donation where you get something in return, same with Phase coffee. Or really any vtuber merch, it's all overpriced.
