Vintage pu-erhs from Generation Tea

[bagua7]

I don't trust these vendor for some reason especially for stuff that is worth a lot of money:

For instance:

Add to chart and the "buggers" don't even bother putting the quantity, lol.

Has anyone bought vintage pu-erh from them ?

The price is too low as well. I'd be wary of it. Just play it safe and buy aged pu on taobao instead (kidding)

This tea is said to raise the chi from within the body. You decide.

500$ for one sample? thats some expensive pu-erh and they wrote like 2 sentences about it. Sounds like someone got duped and they are trying to sell off and make a profit.

Haha this site is hilarious...

I'm not anywhere near at all a puerh expert but this quote

This cake is 40+ years old and had lost all the scent of tea. This shows good aging in a good environement.

Isn't that not a good thing?

Not heard them mentioned for a while but I'm sure Mike Petro and Geraldo(Grasshopper) said they were fairly reliable, that's going back a few years over at pu-erh.net
