What's your opinion of the many online stores selling Chinese teas? I
have used several with varying outcomes.
BTW, I'm new to this group and glad I found it. My primary interests
are Chinese reds (esp. qimen) and whites, but I'm very interested in
learning all about Indian teas, esp. darjeelings.
Thanks!
I like TeaSpring, Jing's and a few eBay vendors who are honorable and
send good tea at fair prices - Yunnan Sourcing, of course, and Dragon
Tea House, Awazon, and China Health (?).
I always have great experiences (fast, careful shipping etc) with
TeaSpring and Jing's. Oh, and Touchatea (for puerhs only).
Qimens from Jing's are superior, especially "gift" and "gung fu"
quality.

the touchatea website has some interesting items, but if you will pardon
me for sounding like a noob, I was always under the impression that tea
bricks were of fairly low quality. Is this not the case (i've tried a
few cups over the years and was wildly unimpressed). are there actually
pe erh bricks that are actually decent tea?

Off-topic: No, no, no! It depends upon the tea - sheng, shu, where it
was manufactured and by whom, how old, how new! Go to www.pu-erh.net
Mike"s site will provide any info you need regarding pu-erh.
There are lots of criteria. Bricks are convenient, generally
economical and often just chock full of very, very good tea.

Very interesting website, thanks for the link and the response
