Also Steve at jas-etea told me he was going to start offering some of Nada,s teas on his site. But as of yet Ive not seen any of them listed. I probably wont be ordering very many new teas untill after the holidays. I do need to get a couple of the 2008 Xiaguan Exquisite Elegance cakes before their gone though. That teas a real winner in a number of peoples eyes.

It really encourages me to blog more often knowing that there are people out there willing to write the notes we write. <br /><br />Bret,<br /><br />I've only ordered once from Nada before, but I really dig the prices on the stuff he has. Sure, the cost of an entire cake is really expensive; but if you compare the price per gram his stuff is on-par (and even cheaper, IIRC) than places like Hou De. Also helpful is the option to buy as large of a sample as you need. I'll be happy to send you samples of what I've ordered, along with some other stuff I might need your advice (my Tao Bao order), but my order from Nada isn't coming in for a while since I went cheap on the shipping.Maitre_Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949659223396025930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901557768510499317.post-24831411034091687632009-12-05T20:32:21.971-08:002009-12-05T20:32:21.971-08:00Howdy Maitre, Ive also noted the amount of hits fr...Howdy Maitre, Ive also noted the amount of hits from Sweden on my blog. I dont really check my site meter status often but it is suprising to see how many people from abroad follow our ramblings. Congratulations on your purchases, Ive still never bought anything from Nada yet, maybe after the holidays. Interesting that one of the items I sold on my last garage sale was a kyusu and cup set to a guy in Sweden. Oh well, congrats on your new milestone and keep up the good work.Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328523694226680438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901557768510499317.post-3198381499438920982009-12-05T14:19:21.773-08:002009-12-05T14:19:21.773-08:00Sure, they might have to fight of one or two polar...Sure, they might have to fight of one or two polar bears on the way, but China Mail usually manage to reach us up here in the north.<br /> <br />Ok, so Sweden might not be the top tea-scene of the world yet; lipton bags and stale supermarket varieties being what passes for good tea by most pepole. But interest in and knowledge of high-end teas are steadily on the rise and there are a few vendors now that can offer you pretty much the same as anywhere else outside Asia (dan cong from tea habitat being maybe one exception). <br /><br />Anyway, thank you on behalf of all the tea-folks in sweden.<br /><br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
