Manila Tran: Such abounds the world ’round, and all throughout history. Otherwise there wouldn’t be any Subway or McDonalds! (…are there Subway franchises in Asia?) Just got a new tea vendor, they sell The Metropolitan Tea Company products. I should contact Leo to see if either of the two local vendors would be interested in stocking TeaHong product…
Chawang: Are you referring to the Verdant Tea $17 puer on Taobao vs $156 at his online shop?
Tea Soul: My recent interactions over at TeaChat (which, in spite of being Adigo Tea’s home forum, is a rather lively and varied site) have pointed me in the direction of Da Yi, th ough I don’t think Hai Wan has come up before. I’ll see what I can find. Unfortunately, I can’t use a non-Chinese debit card to purchase on Taobao.
Now, in general, Puerh shop seems to have a good reputation. They even press their own cakes, which got good reviews – American Hao.
