Sad News Inside

I just got an email today from them and was checking out the website. Funny they didn’t keep the same name. I also wonder if they will take Paypal.

Han Xiang wasn’t the original name of the Ali store either. I’ve bought from them from the beginning. He’ll probably change it. Right now it s just his name.

Just so glad I will be able to continue ordering from him. Actually, I was just noticing he was operating from DHGate. I originally thought he had his own website. I wonder if DHGate is safe?

Me too!

True more and more sellers are setting up elsewhere I am not sure if there is a deadline for takedown or if this is an insurance plan of sorts. I know there seemed to be an appeal of some sorts going on but I’m not sure if they have been given a final verdict yet but more and more long term sellers seem to be setting up other contingencies.

Fu Tea Store told me they will stop selling on Ali within the week.

Still tea on Aliexpress.

However ones I find are listed funny. One was an “event and party supply”. The most common I see is selling a puer knife/teaware in the title and it comes with “free bonus” tea. In the listing it goes into detail about the tea. It is obviously trying to sell the tea more than the other item.

It’s true the stores still selling see list it as something else like dinnerware. A lot of great shops have left though.

Berylleb King Tea is a good one on eBay.

Thanks, this is my hookup for Zhangping Shui Xian!

Shanghai Story (rebeca_li) has some really nice Dian Hongs and I’ve heard she has good silver needle as well.

Berylleb King Tea and Streetshop88 are both very good. I really like Shanghai Story for teaware. I bought a huge tea table from her that is a tea centerpiece in my apartment. It is just crammed with teawares. So much so that I can’t really use it as a tea table.
