Has anybody had any experience with this distributor ?

Has a 'store' on eBay.

I came across it by chance just looking around - he seems fair dinkum -
appears to have a large inventory.

Been doing about a years worth of repeat business with YS, problems are
handled when they arise, communication is good, no games are played.
What more could you want?

Ditto, well said.

I have been doing business with him ever since he opened up.

Funnily enough, I just received my first shipment from him today. I'll
add to the chorus of praise - his shipping was very fast and all the
tea looks great.

Along with the tea, I got one of those pu'er trays. It's a revelation.
I encourage everyone to get one.

Drinking some 80's XG qingtou from Hou De, and it is quite nice

YSLLC has my vote of confidence as a vendor with excellent ethics and
service.

That would be

Right?

Does it do anything more than brace the cake or brick while you try to
attack the tea rather than yourself?

Agreed. And, as anyone who's seen the first edition of the
much-discussed-here The Art of Tea magazine can see, YSLLC's
proprietor knows a lot about the Pu'er industry and has a lively mind.

That's the one. It braces the cake, it keeps chipped-off pieces from
flying across the room, you can chip at a tilted angle which reduces
the need for a third hand and seems to reduce the risk of stabbing
yourself, and you can funnel the loose tea out the missing corner. It
also looks much better than the ordinary dinner plate I was using
before.

I got a pu'er knife too, but honestly I think an oyster knife (with a
wider, flatter blade) would probably work better.

I have tried several Puerh knives and didnt like any of them, they were
all too small for hands and I could get a good grip on them. I then
tried a variety of Oyster knives and found that the Dexter Russell
10483 Oyster Knife 2-3/4" Providence model worked best for me. It has a
short but wide blade that is very effective.

Great minds think alike ! Yes, this is what I intend to purchase (hence my
original query) - a simple but most effective device it seems.

Appreciate all the other feedback too folks.

Thanks

Plus plenty more available that isn't listed, and he can pick up many
other items (tea, pots, more) at good prices on request. I've had a
large range of his Pu-erhs, and he's a clear vendor of choice for Yunnan
gold buds and other high-end red teas.

As Lew points out, he's got a good section in the first number of Art of
Tea - and he has the magazine at a very favorable price.

I am "new" to the tea world and have been shopping with Yunnan Sourcing
for about six months. Scott (YSLLC) has really helped me in describing
the teas and I've enjoyed what I've purchased from him. We also bout a
glass gong fu set and several glass/strainer cups. All arrived safely
and quickly.
I would highly recommend him.

Great, attentive service from Scott of Yunnan Sourcing. Some treats
can be found in his store, and the prices are obviously extremely
competitive.

Just finished a few cups of Premium Big Red Robe * Da Hong Pao * Red
Oolong Tea which arrived from YSLLC today. Yummy!

I have ordered from Scott a few times. His communication, product and
pricing are excellent.

Order from him direct, you will both save money

Excellent seller, never a problem, just be patient with shipping times.

His yunnan gold is excellent.

I wish he had some older sheng.
