I just bought a bunch of nice Yixings and two cakes of a wonderful
12-year-old green Pu-erh (best I've had yet, except for a bit of $5000/lb imperial ambrosia) from James at Pu-erhtea.com. (Pretty remarkable service there, too, not to mention the tea.) Since I needed the pots for gifts, I opted for the mid-price SAL option. I expected 5~6 weeks delivery, plus a possible delay in customs.In the event, I think the time from e-mail order to delivery was about 19 days. Did I just get lucky, or is this typical? I've had slower deliveries from California, at twice the shipping cost.
