Bitterleaf Teas

Welcome to the Bitterleaf Teas discussion topic!
Been a lurker for a while and have seen some references here and there regarding Bitterleaf's tea offerings. Since they are doing a 5 year anniversary sale right now and have a promo for their teas, I was curious as to some thoughts on their teas?
I've previously only purchases their 2019 White Crow Lincang Shoumei White Tea cakes and, after a few months to settle, have come to the decision that I should have bought more. I am curious about some of their sheng offers for this year, as I am starting to get into that category, and was wondering if their regional offerings come close to what (however you want to make of it) most would consider tasting notes? I am planning on getting some Yiwu and want to contrast it to some other, older, Yiwu samples I am expecting from Chantingpines (Thanks you to this board btw for helping guide me in evaluating their clay).
Overall, other than their teas I have been following their social media presence and really have appreciated their occasional educational or clay ware production videos. My interactions with them have always been super pleasant and I get the impression that they do make the effort to visit their producers and observe how their tea is grown, harvested and finished.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
