Tea

I don't know why, but the equipment for a traditional Japanese tea ceremony is crazy expensive:

Bamboo spoon for scooping tea powder: $9
Whisk for stirring tea: $8-$30
Bowl-cup for serving tea :$80ish

And no, this is not me going to some expensive shop. The first place I went to had bowls ranging from $80 to $900, and I thought that was ridiculous, but everyone else wasn't much better!
