Specialties
Shan Shui teas specializes in Taiwanese oolongs, and carries a large number of different kinds. This vendor is also noteworthy in that they sell Korean green tea, which is generally quite difficult to find.
Packaging
Some have expressed discontent with Shan Shui Teas' packaging. They do not appear to advertise any nitro-flushing or vacuum-packing practices, and their teas (other than the pre-packaged ones they sell) come in permeable plastic bags– one can smell the leaves without opening these bag, which means these bags are not blocking gas exchange.
