Obviously Florent is the owners white slave. Poor thing probably gets beat with a stick if he doesn’t price gouge his own people. This must be why he can’t tell us what the real reason was.

Re: Green Tea Vendor Topic
At the end of the day, I don't see this as a situation where they should "congratulate themselves" because I see this as sowing the seeds of distrust in their community. That's going to have a much bigger impact than you might think. If you are correct, then they will do something about it alright....

Re: Green Tea Vendor Topic
In any case, they can congratulate themselves, as buyers still want to stick with them despite the extreme price raise. In other shops cases , I believe, the people would just go like "pfff....lets buy from someone else then " . But here it almost looks like " let's write them an open letter " ...I...

Re: Green Tea Vendor Topic
I'm failing to understand why I'm not allowed to get the yen price if I bear the cost of the conversion from USD to JPY. If I'm paying in their native currency, then I don't see the functional difference between me or someone in Japan paying for the same thing. I'm still paying for the shipping as w...

Re: Taiwan Tea Crafts?
All my notes were based on my first session with the tea. I've even came back to some and had better or worse experiences later on. Every day with tea is never the same, even when it's the same tea. I'm confident that TTC has good quality tea though. That much was easy to see.

Re: Taiwan Tea Crafts?
Today I was revisiting the Gui Fei oolong. It feel obligated to report that my experience with this tea now is very different from my previous experience with it. I'd rank this among some of my favorite sessions with tea. Not sure what initially contributed to my poor experience, but all I can say i...

Re: Tea tourism in Yunnan
I'm having lately discussion with my friend from Menghai about possibilities for foreign tea tourism. From the posts here , and anywhere else , I can see that Yunnan is not that popular ( or just people are not sharing unless T-biz posting on their blog as part of the marketing ....like me ;-D ) . ...

Re: Lost taste due to Covid
Hello tea friends. Recently I’ve had the worst thing imaginable happen to me. I’ve completely lost my sense of taste and smell after having Covid. I’m not sure how long this might last because I’ve heard many different experiences. Some people get their taste back in weeks, and some never seem to c...

Re: Taiwan Tea Crafts?
Randy the Intern, so many teas! As a biased (and pretty new) gaoshan lover, I'd like to add some remarks, hopefully useful in case you want to give them another try sometime. The Alishan seemed like your best best to get into them, but when I read how you finished it off grandpa style, it made me s...

Re: Taiwan Tea Crafts?
I also tried the Organic Pre-Qingming Sanxia Qing Xin Black Tea - Spring 2023 and Spring 2022. Both were amazing to me but I could not tell which one is 2022 and 2023. My lot numbers #1135 and #1203. Which one is 2023?
My lot number is #1203 and that was the 2023

Re: Taiwan Tea Crafts?
Thanks for the review! What made you order from TTC instead of other Taiwanese vendors like Mountain Stream or Taiwanleaftea? I've never heard of Taiwanleaftea. I've spent a lot of time looking at Mountain Stream and I just don't like people who seem to be serial entertainers. He doesn't seem like ...

Re: Taiwan Tea Crafts?
Hello tea friends. I'm back for another massive vendor specific tea review. My last review was for Mei Leaf. Last time I wasn't happy with the way I posted the review. I made several posts that were scattered throughout the thread, and it ended up being an unorganized mess. This time I wanted to wai...
