Re: TeaVivre

Thanks, but I find the tea I’ve been drinking very pleasant, and I’ll leave the finer stuff for those with more discerning palates. I have to take the opportunity to commend you for your this healthy attitude. And welcome to the forum :) By the way, Jing Tea Shop has a very reasonable Long Jing . I...

Re: TeaVivre

Long jing is typically considered to have one of the worst price to value ratios. Since you like greens, you may want to consider trying Japanese green tea from places like o-cha and thes du japon. Their cheaper offerings range from 10-20$ per 100g - incredible value for the price. My understanding...

Re: Introduce Yourself

@ LeoFox ---- My Long Jing is loose leaf. I heat 6 0z of filtered water in a measuring cup in the microwave to bring it close to 185 degrees F. I then dump in 2 g of tea and stir. I let it brew for one minute and pour it through a strainer into my cup. I save the damp leaves in a small gaiwan for a ...

Re: TeaVivre

I solved my TeaVivre problem. My Avast antivirus software was blocking them. I had to disable HTTPS scanning. TeaVivre must have made some change that triggered the block. I sent them an e-mail with the Avast error message. Maybe they can fix it. If I had a problem, I assume other users of Avast mig...

Re: TeaVivre

Thanks. I tried www.teavivre.com and got the same results. I've already gotten a response from my e-mail. They assure me they are still there and have reported my problem to their tech team. Maybe it's a glitch that they can fix soon. I appreciate all the responses.

Re: TeaVivre

I looked at the vendors in the link. Thanks. But, the prices. I've gotten beautiful Long Jing from Teavivre for less than $20 for 100g.

I found that I have their e-mail address and have sent them a message. Hopefully I will hear back.

Re: TeaVivre gone?

It's interesting. TeaVivre still doesn't work for me. I've tried 4 different browsers; Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, and Firefox. Firefox gives me this message: The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Opera tells me to contac...

TeaVivre gone?

For a couple years now I have been ordering my tea from TeaVivre in China. I've been very happy with them. Today, I tried to go to their website and it appears to be gone. I get a message that the site can't be reached. Can any one tell me what's going on? I have an order coming from them now and I ...

Re: Introduce Yourself

Hello. I'm an 81 year old retiree in Orange County California. Up until a couple years ago, the only tea I drank was Liptons. I tried some good green tea and was hooked. Now, I have two or three cups of it a day. My favorite is Dragon Well which I order direct from China. I hope I can contribute som...
