Hey folks I know it's been a couple of months since anyone has heard from me but I am alive and well, thanks! As for where to buy teas, I am assuming you are ...
Dear Hints welcome and congratulations on your expensive tastes. You must have money 2 burn if you shop at those places. Although Peets is actually a pretty...
I must recommend my own company, Lavender Rose Tea Garden, as a great place to purchase teas. We carry only the finest in greens, blacks, oolongs, and...
Has anyone had dealings with this place? They list 4 different grades of Dragon Well and Pi Lo Chun which seems to be a good thing. I am new to the higher...
Truthfully Daniel, I am not all that impressed with Ten Ren (TenTea.com). They are a Taiwanese company that has been described as the McDonald's (R) of Tea....
I had some of the absolute best pi lo chun I've ever had from Ten Ren. It was the second grade, I believe. It was transcendent. I've done business with them...
A couple of posts asked for tea sources.. I'd love to order some top Japanese senchas right from the growers (and maybe some oolongs).. But I suspect we will...
Personally, I would give Ten Ren a better than Mc Donald's rating. I would probably put tea bags in the Mc Donald's category; but I guess it is all relative....
I have personally placed orders from him for much less than $200. Mike ... Is it really a 200. minimum??? wow. i had heard that he went to a 50. minimum....
You're right! I just checked our latest catalog and he has lowered his minimum order down to $50! ... <image.tiff> ... <image.tiff> ... [Non-text portions of...
... I get the majority of my Oolong tea from MIL, hand carried from Taiwan. TenRen is the only company that comes close to matching the quality of tea she...
... Hi Norm You probably won't be surprised to know that you are NOT the only person here with direct connections back to Taiwan. David Huang (AKA SuperPeon)...
... Blake, I should have said "consistently" in there somewhere. In general, I find the TenRen teas good, sometimes very good. Usuaully not great, though they...
... Maybe you should go into the tea biz! ... I don't buy any tea from Taiwan (retail) that costs more than $80 per 300gm bag. That is very nice, near ...
Hi All: Don't have much time to post these days, but I've been lurking and enjoying the discussions. Hi to old tea friends. Last week my daughter turned two....
... Hi Adrian! ... My analogy about McDonald's is not about bad or low quality. I LIKE Mickey D's. What I mean is for every dollar spent there, seems like .75...
I just tried to source tea from specialteas today, and was turned down. They said it was because I live in GA.. I suspect a chain of tea shops at the mall...
Thanks, all, for your recommendations and the varied reviews. I've only tried a couple from Ten Ren - 1st & 3rd grade Ti Kwan Yin (huge difference in quality...
... That was me, HintsofWouldn'tYouLikeToKnow? I appreciate the offer for Bamboo tips too but they are right down the street so I can pop in maybe and ask for...
Norm, Could you clarify MIL? I don't think I am familiar with that company/person... But coming from the Pu'erh website man, I am definitely curious. Thanks, ...
Blake, Thank you for clarifying MIL Norm and Mike, I apologize to both of you! I am rather embarrassed that I flipped the two of you in my noggin. That's...
I'm fond of Specialteas.com for their variety, prce & Quality. I've ordered a number of their Darjeelings & other teas, & I like the inexpensive samplers. I've...
... Haha! Me neither, but when someone gives it to me as a gift...well, you know what they say about gift horses. I find it somewhat hard to find retailers who...
... I buy from the Manhattan store, so it's probably the same stuff. I would have balked at that Dragonwell, to be honest. But if it's something you like, I'm...
... 3 vendors who sell 300gm bags for less than a fortune: http://www.myfinetea.com Dave Huang http://www.oolong-tea.com Mr. C.H. Yang http://www.SufiTea.com...
LOL! Yes, that's correct. My mother-in-law is my tea supplier. Thankfully she's going to Taiwan again in 2 weeks. I should be there myself in 6 months or so,...
