I may have some tea that I want to get rid of, would any of you be
interested in buying some from me?

Specifically, I have some really good a li shan wulong and some
ginseng wulong that I may want to get rid of. I'm not sure yet.

This isn't spam. heh.

And I have some currency I want to get rid of, too.
Some Russian rubles, Indian rupees and Azeri manats. Will gladly exchange
for your teas.

No, I absolutely love the tea; it's top quality straight from a
Chinese merchant I trust in the city I lived, and it's quite good.
I'm located in NC in the USA. The thing is that I'm probably going
back to China and I am going to try and sell off some of this tea that
I haven't opened up yet because I can just get more when I get back to
China.

I'm still debating on getting rid of it. I just wanted to see if
there were any takers here before I did something like put it on
ebay.....that is, if I did anything at all.

No, Midnight, we are interested (seriously) but tell us more about the tea
and more about the price.

gotcha.

Well, what I have is a package of A Li Shan Wulong in round style box.
Mondayish I can take a picture of it for you guys to check out. It's
about 300 grams of tea in all, an amount that will last you a good
amount of time. This tea is perfect for gongfu cha.

It's considered a Gao Shan (High Mountain) wulong, so it can be
noticably stronger than your basic wulongs depending on how you like
your tea. I'm not sure how familar you guys are with A Li Shan, but
it's considered on of the best gao shan wulong types. As schooled as
you guys are in tea, I'm sure you've heard of it. heh.

I am not sure exactly what I got it for at the time, but I think maybe
around 30 or 35 bucks or something. Use that as a guesstimate and
tack on shipping (USPS is cheapest), and that's basically all I want
for it.

Method of Payment, I dont' really know. I don't like checks very
much. heh.

I.e. its a $3+ an ounce, not bad for a real A Li, but not really a
"bargain". The question is - is it really an A Li Shan? To be one, it has to
be a Taiwan tea (where A Li mountanis are). Is it? When and where did you
buy it?

Oh, yeah, it's the real deal. I bought it in Dongguan, Guangdong in a
shop that's called shangming ming cha. It's run by a Taiwanese man
and his daughter; they have 5 or 6 stores in the Guangdong area...one
in Guangzhou in Fangcun market, I think. The shop is a front for a
tea plantation in Taiwan, so they grow their own teas...it isn't one
of those things where they go and buy the cheapest tea in bulk and
then lie about it to their customers which is abundant in Guangdong.
It indeed is a Taiwan Gao Shan tea. They say a li shan is one of the
most famous.

I have a good relationship with the bosses of the shop (I taught the
son of the owner) and their merchandise is very good, but a little bit
expensive. I have had A Li Shan from other shops, and IMO, I think
this is much better stuff.

Price? It was a little pricey, I thought, but after tasting it, I
thought it was well worth it. It's a pity you don't live near here, I
could let you have a try. Like I said before, I have an unopened bag
and a bag I drink from. I thought I wouldn't be returning to China
for some time and, I didn't want to run out.

OK, since its a real Taiwan tea, I am interested.
Tell me how you want to proceed.
