for which YS provides no more than the factory name and vintage, be a poor introduction?

what other info you would expect from the vendor to provide?

Hello everyone, I am completely new to the world of tea. I first came into contact with it at the beginning of this year when I began to explore green tea in more depth during my trip to Japan. Of course, I couldn't resist bringing a few varieties of green tea home with me. When I stood in the kitc...

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.

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...

From all the complaints about the bad roast, it sounds like roasting is back in fashion, which in my books could be good news after all those years of greenish aroma focused processing. It might even lead to more focus on the body, since high roast and high aroma processing don't go well together. ...
