Hi Ripon,

I have tried, and really like, the "Gold Bud Black Tea" from
http://www.pu-erhtea.com/BlackTea.htm it is very tightly rolled, the
color of tobacco, and a somewhat spicy black peppery flavor.

This vendor is located in Kunming China and ships directly from there,
their price, including shipping, was somewhere in the neighborhood of
$50 per 500g for SAL shipping (slow 20-60 days) and somewhat more for
Air Mail shipment (7-10 days). Paying them is a little difficult,
until you establish a history with them, as they will probably want to
use Western Union to transfer the funds. Once they know you they are
much more flexible.

I am not affiliated with them in any way other than as a
customer......

I think, I need to modify my question. What are the best Golden
Yunnan/Yunnan gold and Tippy Yunnan/Imperial Yunnan you have tasted.
