And some 125ml hongni shen deng pots from early 90's, too.

The dirty dozen. New old stock 95ml hongni shui pings from early 90's. Nice clay and firing.

I haven't tried much of their stuff, but their branding and lack of info really turns me off. Seasoned and experienced puerh drinkers could wade in to their offerings and read between the lines, but how are new folks supposed to learn the difference between villages, elevation, tree age, and process...

Just had some 2007 GNWL tonight. Sadly, not available anymore on the English-speaking part of the web. I'd give this one a shot. I used to drink the 2007 version a lot back in the day, but that's now gone too.

I'm 98% sure this is just 5000Friend under a new name. I had the same thought when I saw OldZisha: same skeezy angle as 5000Friend. Some look good online but it’s dodgy buying a pot from a photo. Even a halfway decent fake can look good unil you have it in hand. Fortunately, the “F1s” are obvious f...

I'm 98% sure this is just 5000Friend under a new name. So if you have a good eye for picking out teapots (i.e. not for beginners), some of his stuff is ok. But always ignore the claims of age.

Hey, Former-TeaChatters! That place was dead anyhow. Good to see you all!
