I liked last year's naka from pu-erh.sk, but their naka became quite expensive this year. Their mannuo is good too but in my opinion the naka is more complex, at least at this stage - we'll see how they age.

I know it's about the same price as 72hours!! Once the 'greeness' of 72hours settles down I'd like to session these back to back.

If you like 'high notes' in raw the 15' Mannuo from Pu-erh.sk is good... though probably comp to a (any?) high end Tea Urchin Yiwu area production (I have had the 14' Yiwu beauty...I'd say they're similar).

I emailed em': they should post more cakes in the next few weeks.

Midas touch from Crimson Lotus is very very good but they have finished the cakes :(

I'm searching about good sellers. Crimson Lotus and Akira Hojo explain about his tea.
White2tea have a good tea but they never explain too much.

What about white2tea?

W2t doesn't say very much because they want the tea to speak for itself. It's good tea

There isn't that much to know, though, and there are plenty of people who try to tell you fanciful things in order to sell mediocre or worse cakes.

Have you tried to email White2Tea for an opinion? I have done so in the past and I am not disappointed with their teas, in fact I am always very happy.
