Re: Green Tea Vendor Topic

Qingming has come and gone, and I still don't have any spring 2025 green tea. It looks like Bitterleaf has a BLC this year, along with Lapsangstore, Sweetest Dew, and Teavivre. Seven Cups hasn't been able to post their 2025 lineup yet because it's stuck in customs. This will be the first year in a ...

Re: US post suspended all parcels from China

We were told by China Post that actual tax is going to be paid on our side ( probably monthly with shipping fee bill ) . Some vendors already took an action, although I think not quite neat solution as this one is unfair to non US buyers : https://www.reddit.com/r/puer/comments/1iixidz/yunnansourcin...

Re: Wu Yi Shan

I heard this year weather is not so good (too much rain) and harvest sucks compared to previous years. But anyway, I think Hui Yuan Keng is a large area where different varietals do well there. You can see my response here: https://www.teaforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=2442 Ultimately, it's not about th...
