Is there any unanimity on online tea sources? I'm recently re- turned to the tea world af- ter a lengthy side-lining, and am ready to place some orders. If any of the mavens am- ong us would be so kind as to speak of th- ier favor- ite sou- rces I would be very grateful.

i recently ordered from 7 cups Monkey Picked TieGuanYin Oolong Tea

LiLi Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong Tea

they are good but not great-i enjoy more lightly fermented oolongs with floral bouqet.

I have always found these two merchants to be impeccably honest, sell great teas at a reasonable price, and the consistency of their products is impressive.

I met Austin and his wife Zu Ping in TakeMe2Tea Expo, Las Vegas. I tasted their couple of yellow, white and green teas. All of them were very good though I couldn't find in their web site. Austin is a very good man and know his tea and his wife Zu Ping is a tea master. They are honest about their teas. I haven't get the chance to order from them lately. But I have faith on them.

About TeaSpring- they are still one of my top tea source. This is a real good tea company. I was always happy with their tea and price. Maybe not all their tea is very best(None of single vendor does) but their service, price and quality is best to me for Chinese tea. They have huge selection and a wonderful company to start with. Their samples size is good and price is good compare to many vendors. A good competitor for over prized Imperial tea court( another very good tea vendor).

I will also add IPOT's name who has good collection of Indian teas(Darjeeling and Assam) and good display tea from China.
