I, as a vendor, should not get into this much, perhaps.
I will respond only to numbers. The amount of tea that this wholesaler sells per year is not that impressive. A zero would be needed to be added to the amount of kilos of tea sold for this wholesaler to be a great player in Taiwan's wholesale tea business. On the other hand the amount of "yixing" pots is so large. Moving that amount of pots around or even the clay needed for them if pots were made in Taiwan from clay from China is a feat in itself.
I will note that one can find tables of "yixing" teapots for sale for $2 or even $1 in Taiwan. Teashops also sell "yixing" in settings that seem more likely to offer authentic yixing. When in Taipei the first time w/ Jay, he bought one offered for 1250 NTD that we haggled down to 800. He thought it was likely a fake & later confirmed that it was. (A US$28 losing gamble.)
With no yixing expertise, not able to assess pots, I say what is written "does not add up".
The persistence is remarkable. Will it garner a sale here? Perhaps we will see a post in a year, telling us of the dozens of pots sold & hundreds of kilos of teas; perhaps not.
Not a time to worry about it. Happy holidays.

Again, top 50 in Taiwan, according to who? Haven’t even heard of your shop before… hope the tea is better than the teaware.
Taiwan is known to have one of the highest percentage of fake Yixing in Asia, certainly a good business model…
I don’t see you post on any of the more serious Chinese speaking teaware collectors groups, very telling… too many opinions?
