The answer to this question depends on what you are averaging over, and whether you mean the price at a commodity auction, or the price of tea on the shelf in stores.

I found one source that shows the price of tea at Kenya tea auctions varying between about $1.50 to $3.50 (rarely higher or lower) per kilogram; lately it's been about $3.00. This is for bulk, generic best pekoe fannings grade tea. This is not the best tea out there but it's probably among the higher-quality teas going into low-end commercial teabags.

For specialty teas, the prices range much higher. Typically, you can get pretty good tea from about $5 for 4 ounces or about 115 grams. A lot of tea is much more expensive than that. Teas from Taiwan and Japan tend to be more expensive, as well as those from Darjeeling, India. Single-estate, single-harvest teas can be as cheap as $5 for 4 ounces but they often range considerably higher, and a typical price would be $10, with many teas ranging over $20 for 4 ounces. Competition-winning teas (from any country) can be $6 for as little as 2 grams. Rare Chinese teas are often very expensive too, even though the prices of bulk tea in China tend to be quite low.

How is green tea imported to Australia from China?

In China there are tea markets where buyers go to look at the tea, smell it, and to try to find the best tea. This is not easy because the tea is grown in the outer reaches of China and China doesn't deal easily with tea importers. They want to keep their middle men handling the tea and not let the importers work with the farmers directly. Once the tea is found, a deal made and then the tea is imported.
