About 1001: We are a quirky little company that does things very different from other tea stores.
We order artisan level Yixing teapots directly from the artists. (Check back soon - we'll be posting videos which show how the "carburetor" effect found only on high-quality teapots works!)
We order the highest quality teas direct from growers in China in small batches. We only carry teas we find interesting and meet our level of expectation (the tightness of a Jasmine Pearl ball, the freshness of Long Jing, the extraordinary length and sheen of a Da Hong Pao leaf). This makes our inventory sort of odd, but those of you that have bought from us before know we certainly aren't selling the usual crap.
