I'd say 3 out of 4 orders are international.
'Subtropical Forest' Baozhong from TeaMasters today. Reminding me of the 1st grade TGY from OTTI. Very tasty.

Will have to check them out next time I'm in the area, hopefully SOON. I need a Berkeley break.

Domestic. There's plenty of tea in the shops here that I have to drink before I can think of ordering stuff to be flown over from the other side of the world
Oh man, I hit the sweet spot with this tea I'm drinking. Total tea high! Second flush Margaret's Hope Darjeeling, it's pretty wonderful. Although it seems very much on the green side; it's quite light in colour and I can't brew it too hot or too long or it gets very bitter and astringent. So I sort of brew it like an oolong. Also the leaf is broken into small bits, which is weird since it was labeled "FTGFOP"
Is that normal for a FTGFOP?

I read that there is only 1 tea farm in the U.S., so there really isn't domestic tea.

I refer to domestic sellers of imported tea versus direct from country of origin.
