I would have to go with under 25 and very specialized. As time goes on I am finding myself narrowing my tea focus to what I enjoy most. So my ideal tea vendor would be one who specializes in upper end shu puerh tea.

Less than 25 and very speciallized. As several people have already said I don't trust vendors with too many teas. I feel like there are more opportunties for mistakes and I would question the freshness and whether they really know where each tea came from.

It would take me forever to choose which teas to buy if they had 1000's of teas :roll:
