A good vendor for Pu-erh????

Shen,

Several members of the LJ Pu-erh Community have transacted with this vendor before and they found the people behind tuochatea.com to be reliable and trustworthy. Further, their prices are very competitive, though the selections are not as wide as YSLLC. I personally am making a shopping list and may get something from tuochatea.com.

I second that; very reliable dealer and great service.

However, do keep in mind that the "Specials" items are cheaper for a good reason. ;)

No. ;-P

I officially retract my statement above; I wholeheartedly apologize for any misrepresentation I incurred. :(

I was mistaken, but do instead offer the suggestion that you avoid the "2004 Ji Xing brand Golden Melon Tribute Pu-erh" under the "Aged Pu-erh" heading, as it smells like barbecued meat and a friend found a match stick in a sample chunk I sent him. *ugh*

The remainder of my order was above my expectations; received everything I ordered, each cake/pair was in zip bags and packed very efficiently, and it survived Surface shipping with damage to only ONE wrapper (the one at the end of the box). Very satisfied with my order. :-D

I again apologize for my mistake in the previous post; that was the only item I had an issue with and somehow thought it had been in the "Specials" section. :/

I've bought from them before and I'd buy from them again. They are reliable and friendly and helpful. If you are after anything in particular that's not listed on the site it never hurts to ask as not everything they have in stock is always listed. On the plus side they also label all the teas with and english-language sticker which is a very handy reference if you plan to keep them for a few years.
