Hu-Kwa Tea
I received my order of Hu-Kwa from Mark T. Wendell yesterday and let me say
I'm a little disappointed in the quality of this tea. It seems like it is more stems them tea and it is not as tasty as the Upton's I will stick with Upton's Imperial in the future. IMO it is a much more refined Lapsong. Has anyone else had this experience with this tea? Mike

Thanks for posting this! I bought a teapot from MTW last month and thought
about getting a large tin of Keemun from them soon. What concerned me was the lack of classification for the grade of China Keemun, while every other site I've considered ordering from lists several grades. I found their prices on the 4oz tins too high in comparison to the larger sizes. After reading your post about their signature tea, I'll steer toward Upton as well.

I think Upton's Has a great selection,prices and service.
I am drinking some of their Hao-Ya 'A' Keenum right now and it is an awesome tea. It is a little pricy so I think I will use it for a weekend treat. Their Keenum Mao Feng is also an excellent tea and priced good for the quality. This is the tea that made me fall in love with Keenums. Enjoy.
