Lesson learned

Ok, so I return the Hu-Kwa to Mark T. Wendell due to the fact that is was a very poor quality tea. Instead of getting a refund I say what the heck send me some of your China Keenum.(Even though it has no grade) Well this was the most tasteless stale Keenum I have tasted. It went straight to the garbage. I didn't want to waist my time going through the return process with them and just chalked it up to a learning experience. Besides the lady that answers the phone there is not the most pleasant person to talk to.

Has anyone ever had any good tea from this vendor?

First there were a large amount of stems. Second it tasted like cigarette butts to me. I find Upton's Lapsong imperial a much higher quality tea but of course taste is subjective and to each their own.

As far as the Keenum, it was just plain stale and also full of stems.
