Several days ago I bought some (actually all of them) Yunnan TuoCha 100g single mushrooms Green Puerh from a Chinese store in SF bay area @1.49 each and 1 pound HongKong-made black beencha for $5.99. While I am not a big fan of black puerh, (its a good quality puerh, just not my taste) the green TuoCha is fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. I bought all they had and am looking forward raiding them again. Apparently Chinese in the US are not very interested in these and looked at me with funny faces when I cleaned the shelf. Another stupid laowai! As the owner told me with a sigh, his Chinese customers buy mostly teabag teas. He himself was drinking loose Long Jin the smell of which made my knees weaken :)

Does the wrapper say JIA JI TUOCHA, and does the Chinese mention standards it obeys but not its origin? If so, come to New York and get it for $1.25, or $5 for a 5-pack.

No, no Jia Ji, just Yunnan Tio Cha, but its from Yunan Xia Guan factory.
