I'm becoming increasingly enamored with this tea and the only thing that kind of bothers me is having to buy it in small 3g packets, I'd like to buy some of this tea in a normal quantity... but I can't find another vendor other than Teaspring and it also seems like it is just made by this one manufacturer. I find this all really strange and I've never seen such a thing before where a tea is virtually non-existent outside of one vendor and one manufacturer.

I dont know of anybody else fermenting LJ. Ill point this out to my local Chinese tea shoppe who dont believe they ferment Liuan Gua Pian. They claim it would be a waste of a premium tea. I said we are not Chinese and since both are delicate maybe a good choice to guarantee it around in the future. I think if a tea shoppe doesnt offer an exclusive tea like Teavana six summits or Taylors of Harrogate south african ntingwe kwazulu black tea theyre just selling what is available as wholesale. I keep an eye out in the boutiques for exclusive teas. I just noticed SevenCups has videos of their recent China tea tour where they purchase their teas. Not exclusive but I appreciate my purple bamboo a lot more. I just wished they would drop the tea master thing. Just because you know something I dont doesnt make you a master. You are an engineer or doctor by training. People simply choose other paths.
