Pretty diverse selection, ranging from the affordable to the super-expensive. His late 90s Grand Yellow Label is probably one of the best values of older tea for western-catering tea vendors. The storage is a bit wet, but there's still some sharpness. I love wet storage but some people may think this one is a too wet-stored. I don't think it's really possible to find adolescent sheng for under $90 here in the west, making this one heck of a good find.

The ability to purchase samples by the gram is very good

Nada goes to great lengths to offer some high quality teas at an affordable price. Aged Puerh is always expensive and I think places like Tao Bao give the wrong impression of prices for stores that sell mostly Aged Teas. The thing is when you buy a tea from Nada, you know you are getting what you paid for in terms of authenticity and taste.

Also Nada's Custom pressings that he has been doing are a real treat, and well worth it, considering he over sees a large portion of the production of these cakes himself.

Essence of Tea is one of the more discerning sellers online. Nothing commercial about this seller. Each of his selections are the result of his experience with Puerh and Oolongs.

I have recently ordered from there and not only the tea was of truly excellent quality but the service as well: I had technical problems during the check-out. I reported the problem and immediately got a workaround.

The tea was carefully packaged and I got a free sample with my order!



I'm happy with this seller, one of the few who has old teas to sample. I have not yet found one tea that I'm "crazy" for but everything was high quality and I'm impressed so far. (Just made a second order.)

I do think the prices are high-ish, but it's worth it. Some of the other vendors are slow, and you have lingering fears about being ripped off. Not with EoT!
