Any comment on the tea site ?

Hi all,

I am new to try Chinese tea last week. My friend brewed a pot of Chinese tea for me, it was good in taste. I found this web site on the tea packaging. Can anyone give me some comment on this site ?

Not sure what's going on here, spammer or brave hearted newbie, but they have a 180ml yixing pot for HK$23. At my exchange rate at the moment thats only AU$3.50 ! With postage that's less than AU$20 landed.

Probably mass produced - but hey if it makes tea.

They also have some reasonable looking clay caddies for less than AU$10 too.

BTW....Mr Tea Time, if you are genuinely new here and wish to learn and share then, welcome. But I suggest you better have a look at the RFDT archive and find out what the 'game play' is here. If you are simply spamming then I wish you all the best of luck - you're gonna need it !

Actually, the shipping to the states is quite high. Although these Yixings seem to be reasonable, there is very little description in regard to the quality. Some inexpensive Yixings of lesser quality are available in the states for a little more without paying exorbitant shipping charges AND, I am assuming this is spam. Shen

The site operated for years in HK, as I know. I also bought some herbal tea and Chinese tea from it before. There was only traditional chinese version available last year. But there is not much English tea information as in Chinese version.

I can't say the tea quality is very high. As you know that price of the best quality Chinese tea is sky-high, may be more than hundred thousands for

1kg of Tieguanyin.

I think the tea quality they sell is above average, not the same as that you buy from supermarkets and shops. Its price is low relative to its quality. Anyway, their service is fast and good to me.

It is still SPAM though, how hard would it be to just make a decent post explaining that they have a new English site and sell tea. Does anyone believe someone in Hong Kong is "New to try Chinese tea last week." and then post a .hk website?

Just let it drop off into the aether.

yeah that's the problem I had, and have, with most of the ads here. They're just lame. "I happened to run across this site called X, let me know what you think".. um no, you run the site. Just post it straight-up.

I don't mind an ad here and there if it's topical.

And what can be more topical than "naked girls in the shower?"
