My New Obsession is Moonlight Tea - Looking for More Info

Wow, you rated the Verdant version 100 – I couldn’t possibly take some of that off of you. I also don’t current have any to share. I’ve ordered the cake that AllanK has from Dragon Tea House and some loose from Ebay. I’m still looking, but being in Canada and the crappy state of the Canadian dollar it’s hard to find samples to order than don’t have an insane amount of shipping or you where you don’t have to order a ton.
More than happy to share, I just need to get my hands on some. :)

pfft, I won’t mind. Besides, what is the fun of tea if you can’t share it with anyone. When you get your other orders in lets do a swap so we can taste compare.

I would love to do that. I also have Mandala White Night on route that I ordered before Moonlight registered in my brain. It doesn’t say moonlight – but it really looks like it.
And… I have points at ESGreen and I have teaware there on my wishlist and they have a loose moonlight so this might be a really good time to just go ahead and do that.
Would love to order that one from Puerhshop that several people have mentioned, but their shipping to Canada is outrageous am going to look for another source for it.
LOL so what I’m saying is yes – give me awhile to gather some in and we’ll set something up. :))

And I’m looking at JKTeashop – teaware is really cheap but shipping is not – trying to do the math to see what is the better deal… LOL New obsessions are expensive….

LOL, yes, yes they are. What kind of teaware are you looking at anyways out of curiosity? And yes, I will need a smidgen to gather up my stuff as well. I’m pretty deep in school at the moment. Just PM me when you are ready.

Really want a test tube style tea pot:

Always want white interior cups preferably 50-70ml

I don’t own glass cups:

This teapot is cheap and it’s cute:

and you can never have too many glass pitchers:

That’s what’s in my carts right now, but I’m still browsing and comparing shipping vs item price…

I have a bit of a teaware addiction problem….

OMG I have the same little teapot. It works great. I have chipped the spout a bit from my own stupidity, but I love it. Cleaning the spout is a bit of a trick though. You should look at their Aliexpress site. For some reason it is sometimes cheaper.

The moonlight tea is 24.00/100g on Aliexpress it’s 6.00/50g on their site.
The teapot is 16.80 on Aliexpress and 6.72 on their site.
All prices are PLUS shipping so it’s not like it’s free shipping on Ali. Thanks for the thought but their site seems LOTS cheaper – wonder why that it….

(Mandala smart soak solves all my cleaning teaware issues – it bubbles and foams and gets into all those tight spots)

Hmmm, my info must be out of date. Oh yeah, I forgot I got some of that stuff when I got some samples from them. Going to have to remember to try it then.

I should NOT HAVE LOOKED on AliExpress – I’m going to order these two cakes too..

I know both those cakes are available for a little bit cheaper from other vendors, but I would rather pay a little more to buy from vendors with excellent ratings and who have sold several of that product with good reviews.
I HAVE TO STOP….

Which cake have you tried? The Zenpuer brick looks pretty good for the $$$

$70? Unless it was for a lot and from a reputable dealer, I would pass. Thanks for the characters though. Should be interesting to see what google turns up.

That is what the cake costs that Dexter posted, the Chinese Tea Shop cake.

It’s a full sized cake and it’s amazing. In store they sell sample pieces if you don’t want a whole cake. :)

Yup, and I bought one. It was a lot, but I know I love it and I was able to walk out of the store with it. :)

Thanks John – really appreciate it – I replied to your PM. :)

That tea sounds good.

Thanks yyz – I had to stop looking on Ali – there are just tons of them on there. I ordered a couple of cakes and had to say ENOUGH. LOL to the point that I’m thinking can’t try all of them. ;)

Next comparison loose leaf.
