Default Ten Ren? Is it good tea?

I'm lucky to get my Taiwan fix from commercial brands and my local tea
shoppe. I have ordered from the Taiwan seller TEAHOMEUS on Ebay for
the stuff I can't find locally. Since you know something use Google
and search the .TW domain that sell through mail order. I would but
I'm language dyslexic. Again apples and oranges I've never found a
YunWu from the mainland that compares to a GaoShan from Taiwan.

PS Since I'm pimping there is a new seller on Ebay named lDLLU who
goes by the name of Gordon with a shop in Shanghai called Dragon Tea
House. His English is very good. I've received one order of Puer
which the other sellers don't carry.
