As I am sure many of the members here are aware, finding a true
representation of a tea is tough to do with all the online vendors out
there. I am looking for a recommended vendor of Bai Hao Yin Zhen
(which I am to understand is a high quality white?) - can someone point
me in the right direction here? Even better, is there some listing of
truly quality vendors that ship into Canada around? I have searched
through archives of this list - but not been able to find something
comprehensive....
TIA!
Mike

Well, Spring Garden, in the Vancouver area, had some great Yinzhen
last summer, though they don't have a web site. (The mother of one of
the owners actually *grew* the stuff.) I posted their contact details
last year, so you should be able to find that info in the archives.

Not the exact type - but it was a real high quality reputable white
that I was looking for - so that will do the trick - I found that
particular white that I was looking for @ teaspring as well - and I am
told that they have good teas too - I may purchase from there as well.

In fairness Jing's makes it clear that this year has been particularly
bad for it and that is why they have sourced this one from elsewhere.
I actually posted that link because of the explanation given as to
this years crop, but I could see how it doesn't stack up especially if
any of the ones you tested were from last years harvest. Thanks for
the info though, I tend to just trust Jing's fairly implicitly.
