$1 Sample of the Month
These are not teas that we are trying to get rid of, but rather teas that we believe many people would fall in love with once getting a chance to taste them. Each sample is only $1, much lower than the regular price. The purpose of it is to make sampling easy and affordable to puerh lovers.
$1 sample of each tea is limited to 1 sample for each buyer. But buyers are always welcome to take $1 sample offers of different teas.

Why we chose this tea?
Mengsong is a late-rising star in the most recent puerh market boom. The raw tea price in this region back in 2008 was still relatively low. Besides, the tea trees in the region didn't suffer from over-exploitation as some other puerh producing regions. Therefore this tea is available at a very good price, and in our opinion, the quality exceeds its price level. More importantly, with very nice and clean dry storage in Guangzhou, the tea seems to have completed its first aging stage and is quite enjoyable now.
This tea was in completely dry storage in Guangzhou between 2008 and 2013.
$1 Sample Limited Edition - "Guevara shu"
This will be a 20g sample.
More photos can be found here. More information about this tea can be found here.
This tea is NOT our regular product. The $1 charge of this tea will only cover part of the sample processing and handling costs. We will not be able to afford selling this tea at $1 for 20g as a regular product, and it's not a practical size (the whole brick is 1kg) for us to carry it as a regular product. Therefore, as a limited edition sample, we can only sell this sample to people who are placing an order, and include this sample into the order. This sample will not be sold separately. This tea is limited to 1 sample for each order. And buyers are welcome to take this sample again when placing another order in future.
The limited edition sample will be available while supply lasts. The purpose is to provide new and seasoned tea drinkers some experience of inexpensive shu with solid quality.
