How the list is picked
- Rule: Unflavoured tea from Darjeeling, India (any type), lowest USD per gram first.
- Eligible listings: In stock, known weight of at least 20 g, USD price per gram available.
- Spread: one vendor can hold at most 5 of the 25 places, so a single big catalog cannot fill the table.
- Per gram: the listed pack price in US dollars divided by the pack weight in grams.
- Currency: GBP prices are shown as listed, with a US dollar figure converted at the 2026-09-30 reference rate (1 GBP = $1.3286; European Central Bank reference rates via https://api.frankfurter.app).
