I just got home from a birthday event, started brewing my crimson rooster (~130mL gaiwan straight into my large dragon's eye cup), and then I noticed this video... Let's just say that I added this one to my wish list once you mentioned the chocolate tastes. I really need to sample this one I think. It is a bit of a shame that there is not an European store (yet), as this would make it much more simple to order tea from you. Right now I haven't really gotten around to order something, as the tariffs makes it a lot less appealing, unless I do a larger order :/

It would be nice, but importing to Europe is a nightmare... larger scale import needed to support a store would be expensive and you'd end up paying alot more than you do now even with having to pay taxes to get parcels. This biggest issue is to make it a reality would mean a 1/2 million dollar investment, setting up business in Europe, employees, warehouse space. I already work 70 to 80 hours a week. Undertaking something like that on a personal level just seems like a recipe for insanity. Anyways... I think this is a nice tea, quite different from the Crimson Rooster, but excellent nonetheless.

@@Yunnansourcing Uff, I didn't realize it would be such an expensive undertaking :O That is quite brutal! And I can totally appreciate that you wouldn't have the time, with a schedule like that. The only thing you'd get out of that is excess amounts of stress, having to deal with all the issues that comes with having an additional store. Oh well, if it was the same, then I could just get another cake of that one, so It'd be exciting to try nonetheless. Cheers

@@Salaaran Creating a viable site with even 1/2 the variety that the COM site has would be a huge investment. Mostly I am trying to simplify my life. I have no desire to make my life more complex now. Lucy is getting older, I want to spend more time with her. We also want to have a child soon.

[@Salaaran]

​@@Yunnansourcing Of course! I don't want to seem greedy (it was just a wish of mine), and having access to one store is way WAY better than having access to no yunnansourcing stores :) Best of wishes on both fronts. I hope that Lucy gets to live many more healthy years though!

[@Yunnansourcing]

Thanks! The reason I addressed the idea is that I certainly have given it some thought. If in the future I am able to find time and willingness to undertake the project I certainly would. It would be awesome!
