[QUOTE="Vito, post: 174391, member: 13"] -R: Thanks for posting those links, amigo. Holy Mountain Trading is a site I haven't seen before...or at least, I don't recall having visited there before. The number of tea sites is nearly as mind-boggling as the number of teas. Until I order something, all the sites kind of blur together, if you know what I mean. In fact, they blur together even if you don't know what I mean. :mrgreen: Holy Mountain Trading's prices look like they're pretty reasonable, and generally in line with much of the market.

Alas, they just raised the price significantly, so I'm looking elsewhere. Holy Mountain Trading has some other teas that look interesting, including quite a few Fujian blacks. I'm still in the hunt for my go-to Dragon Phoenix Pearl Jasmine, and Holy Mountain's organic pearls are very reasonably priced...if they're the sublime stuff I'm looking for.
