About Yunnan Sourcing
Yunnan Sourcing is run out of Kunming by Scott Wilson, an American who started it as an eBay listing in 2004. The catalog is huge: hundreds of raw and ripe pu-erh cakes, from house-pressed 2026 cakes back to factory productions from the early 2000s, plus Yunnan black, white and oolong tea, Hunan dark tea and Jian Shui clay teapots.
Most buyers start with the house label. The yearly "Impression" raw cake and the "Peerless" ripe cake are pressed under the Yunnan Sourcing name and are the usual first order for someone new to pu-erh. A US warehouse store at yunnansourcing.us carries a subset for faster domestic delivery; the main site ships from China.
