I hate giving vendor details but Yun_Cha on Ebay is the storefront for
Pu-erhtea.com. I say that because it might save you some money and the
convenience of using PayPal. There was a previous post saying the
website only takes Western Union. Their golden melons come from a
factory called Qi Sheng. Their website describes the taste as mellow.
I will add sweet. A very pleasant shu to drink. I also ordered some
more shu:

The large characters you see across the top are embossed on one side of
the 4 x 250g beengs. The tea symbol on the other side. This shu is
mellow but not sweet like the melon. It reminds me of the Xiaguan Iron
Cake I can get from Chinatown which I almost like. This one I do.

PS:

Hey Lew good recommendation. Maybe any golden melon is worth ordering.
Can anyone translate the large characters across the top of the beeng
for me? Thanks.

Give us a link to a picture, and we'll get to work on the translation.

I did. You did really well for a while quoting posts. Not only does
it help us to know who you are talking too but it might help you.

The large characters across the top read: "Gu Lao Pu Er". It means "Old
Puer".

The storefront was identified elsewhere. When you order do in
multiples of a kilo. The shipping will then reflect the actual cost.
Not everything on their website is on Ebay and vice versa. If you send
Ebay Messages then someone with good command of English will reply. I
also like the Babywrapper storefront. I just wished both would offer
everything I see on TaoBao.
