Amazon Pu

I see that Rishi Tea sells some pu-erhs on Amazon and I was wondering if anyone had bought from them. They seem a tad pricey.

I would stay clear of Rishi's puerh. They are more of a loose leaf tea company and an expensive one at that. We have many good reliable vendors of puerh around, so stick to them. just my 2 dollars :D

A contrary view: my first puerh was Rishi's "Ancient Tree Tuo Cha" and it is still quite drinkable stuff. It was good enough to get me interested in moving on to the more interesting stuff.

Also their Ancient Sheng Pu-erh Saiqing Ya Tuo Cha, Vintage 2005, Organic & Fair Trade Pu-erh is really nice. Yes expensive, but nice.

But my advice is to by direct always when it comes to tea.
(Meaning direct from Rishi)
