Ali Express - how to search for a vendor

How do you search for a vendor on Ali Express? I’ve been trying to find a particular seller who was recommended to me but just typing in the name doesn’t bring anything up.

If you know the store name I usually just Google it. This might work for the vendor as well.

Thanks. I did that. Thinking maybe it is victim of multiple ways of spelling Chinese characters in English. :)

Possibly:-). I generally have had better success with searching store names. Vendor searches are difficult.

Yeah… I wasn’t given the store name, just the vendor. And it took 6 months to get that much, so asking for a store name will probably take another 6 months. :)

The jin jun mei that Min River used to carry. Chris finally got back to me and said his supplier had been a source called Lao Fu in Ning De with a farm in Wuyi Mountain. Said that while they do sell internationally, he’d never dealt with anyone who spoke English. :) So he recommended “Jun De” on Ali Baba/Ali Express as a fantastic (as the originator of jin jun mei they should be fantastic) source as well. But I wasn’t having any luck turning them up. I can always pore through the jin jun mei listings on both sites when I have a few spare hours. But failing that, I think I’m eventually going to try Dragon Tea House as their JJM specifically says it is from “Junde Tea Industry” in Wuyi Mountain. But, as is to be expected, I found lots of other tea there that I need as well so it may have to wait for a Doomcart purchase. :)

I did see those. And assuming I can’t find the direct source, that or Dragon Tea House is what I’m likely to try. Hey, even if it isn’t a replacement for Min River, I’ll probably still like it. :) Thanks for the search, yyz!
