I have never bought from a .cz before. :)<br /><br />Shah - Thunderbolt Tea is somewhere I've bought from many years ago, and may do so again; thanks for the other links, too.

I know that in the spring of 2010, after an ice storm hit Mt Wu Dong, some tea farmers salvaged what was left of their crop by turning the otherwise damaged leaves into Hong Cha.
