Ended up buying a carbon steel wok from woksfordinner.com (I think they are in SF too). Got the smallest 12" wok, because I'm typically only cooking for myself and my boyfriend. I think it cost me $14 and I use it almost every week. Love it. Syafi - not sure about the chinese tea and dried coconut for seasoning. I just baked mine in the oven a couple of times with oil and salt. I loved my cast iron wok, but it got damaged during one of my various apartment moves – the thin metal is actually quite brittle.
