I think that there is no a certain % tax on parcels. Seems like they have some other calculator for small parcels. Apparently they consider also the amount of items ( probably to tax harder those multiple orders in one big box ) . I've got few reports form customers paying the tax and non of them wo...

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...

I've visited the factory last year. The river beside is very clean , I took some pictures and videos but I wasn't allowed to take a picture of their tea processing, although it wasn't anything secret special know-how thing, just a huge machine controlled by 2 workers , as anywhere else ( those are e...

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. ...

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.
