It seems to me with more focus on green tea... there is not much emphasis on quality. Green tea from Ceylon, which is what is often used in mass-market green tea bags, is usually acceptable quality compared to what Americans often get for "black pekoe" (which ranges from decent to piss poor, with far more of the piss poor teas around), but it doesn't have the real character of some of the Chinese teas like Longjing, Formosa green, etc.
