Even if 2009 doesn't turn out to be a legendary year for pu'er production, I don't see how you can go wrong with those.

Scott said this year 7542's are blended 07, 08 and 09 tea. for most 07 wasn't the best but 08 was supposedly very good, at least all the tea i had was. I have high hopes for 2009, no talks of drought and the pu bubble is gone. oh, and my favorite part, low prices!

Those prices arent great. For example the Xiaguan 2007 Jiajituo is 52 RMB for a 1/2 kilo. You can easily get as low as 30-35 RMB for that product in China

Try to deal with S outside eBy.
Listing fee, Paypal charged, US$11 is a fair price.

I'll have a review up as soon as i get the cakes. All my other orders have been air cause they were so small, this is my first SAL order. I dont know how long it will take, says 3-4 weeks. It was shipped around the 1st, so i guess it wont be too much longer. . .

Shogun, how long does it take normally by airmail? I start to worry that my samplers package might have been lost elsewhere. My pot from Chen from Yixing only took one week by regular airmail, but I've been waiting for almost two weeks for my samplers now.

For me it took i believe about 14 days, so 2 weeks. Scott says that if it does not come after 25 days of payment received you get a refund. Dont worry, they will get there. Not to mention the anticipation makes them taste that much better when they arrive!
