Am I reading the website right - £30 for 100 ceylon teabags?

bit late to the tea party; thought I'd drop by as I have been upping my tea game over the last year or so.
Quite a while ago, they started providing free tea at work. Result!
Except it was PG Tips, and I quickly formed an "any tea other than PG Tips" policy. Emergencies excluded, of course.
So then I had to decide what to stock in my own personal tea stash, and went for Clipper organic (green box). That's still my default tea bag option. But then lock down happened, the world of loose leaf tea to explore, teapots to buy, big bliss for an internet obsessive weirdo such as myself.
Anyway, to summarise:
tea sellers i've tried and liked:
https://www.tiptoptea.co.uk/ - think this guy is sometimes at Greenwich market? Someone recommended to me, his Bold Breakfast is my favourite morning brew.
https://www.vahdam.com/ - great tea, was sent directly from India when I first started buying from them but now fulfilled by Amazon so avoid if that's not your thing. Also a bit on the "wellness" bandwagon too. But good value bags of high quality whole leaf tea, Indian only.
https://www.brewteacompany.co.uk/ - sensible tea pots and good value, no nonsense tea range. Support your local Mancunian tea enterprise.
Have tried various others including Mariage Freres where you can get very expensive green teas, but I find those above are fine for everything I need at present.

As Tip Top are currently out of stock of Bold Breakfast, I'm going to have a go at blending my own. Just waiting for a couple more bags to arrive. Will report back..
