Thanks for posting this! I bought a teapot from MTW last month and thought
about getting a large tin of Keemun from them soon. What concerned me was
the lack of classification for the grade of China Keemun, while every other
site I've considered ordering from lists several grades. I found their
prices on the 4oz tins too high in comparison to the larger sizes. After
reading your post about their signature tea, I'll steer toward Upton as
well.
