Recommend a Europe-based shu vendor?

by Rayuela » Mar 8th, '11, 19:04

Hi,

I was interested in trying a few more shus, but don't really want to pay the eye-watering VAT/charges on postage to Denmark. Can anybody recommend a decent EU-based shu vendor and any of the teas they've liked?

Thanks,

Rayuela

I would also like to try Fu zhuan and Liu Bao. Any ideas?

I believe there are some tea sellers in the Czech republic who have an online presence and who sell a lot of stuff that are from places such as YSLLC. Where in Europe are you?

Thanks Marshal, but do you have any names? I only know darjeeling.cz and they don't do puerh... oh, and one slovak vendor that is only in slovakian.

I'm in Denmark, but within the EU, it's all the same (no tariff barriers),

First of all, I don't drink enough shu to make any recommendation, also I only buy from EoT for any pu in the EU. However, if you could not find any vendor, I got one in mind that might help:
http://www.cantonteaco.com/

They base in the UK and have some shu, but I don't buy from them.

Recently, they lower the price on the 2003 CNNP brick, now it is £15, which is much more reasonable.

Hope this help.
