PS- You probably won't save any money; but, you'll no longer be
wasting it at TenRen.
The bit more you'll pay at HouDe or Teaspring or even, Imperial Tea
Court is worth it when you consider the top notch teas you'll be
drinking.
BTW, shipping from TeaSpring is $3.95 and from HouDe $5.00. Jing's is
especially fine tea, as well, and Sebastien and Jing offer samples
that are worth a try.
