Great Organic Tie Guan Yin (Oolong) sales on eBay
This one’s really well-rated and is currently $3.89/100g:

The seller is “Dragon Tea House” (Idllu), very respected on Teachat.com. You can buy in various sizes but 100g (3.5oz) seems to be the best deal. Free shipping.
Here’s another seller with a similar deal. I can’t find any information on this company though.

If you are going to buy from Dragon Tea House go to www.dragoonteahouse.biz and register. After you register you get a %10 discount off their EBay price.
It says that on their site, but I just bought it today and already got a confirmation that it has been shipped complete with a tracking number.
If the package has gone live on www.usps.com then they shipped it. A tracking number alone could mean they just printed a label. Most of the post offices in China close down for the holiday and won’t process mail. Expect extra delays on any packages from China bought during this period.
At that price point, it sounds almost too good to be true especially for organic tea. Any idea of how their organic tie guan yin stacks up against others?
There are three similar oolongs for around the same price (I think they even have the same photo). I wonder what the differences are?
Honestly I’m not sure I’d bother to buy Tieguanyin from China because of the shipping cost and because the quality is not any better than what we can buy already imported to the states and Canada. The very best Tieguanyin is only sold within China to premium buyers.
For a US alternative, I’d recommend the Tieguanyin from American Tea Room. They have it on sale and the dark roast is every bit as good as anything you can order from China.
