TeaHome recommendations?

Hi Michael,



I'm starting a new thread to keep the "ty-phoo or pg tips?" one clean, so I hope you see this.

What do you (or anyone else with experience with Teahome) think of them? I wasn't familiar with them before your post, and they seem to have some interesting teas for pretty reasonable (at least by USA standards) prices. I'm not interested in the "green style" oolongs, but their various medium and darker roasts look nice. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have sample sizes, so one presumably takes one's chances, which gets expensive pretty quickly. Also, it doesn't look like they take credit cards.


Ahh, the vicissitudes of the tea life.


Thanks.

Hi Doug,

Always a good idea to purify threads. As for Teahome, the price is right. I have high regard for their tea called "The Legend of Tung-Ting Oolong: Deep Fermentation style." Notes: "Smooth, soft, rich enough. 11/16/04: So soft and rich in aroma, roasted, but not overly. Bit of bitter-sweet. Well made, excellent finish.3rd: slight metalic in aroma. Taste is pure."

On balance, I think TeaHome is fairly priced for the quality of their teas, and they are definitely worth a look. Teas are available at much higher prices elsewhere.

And, to your knowledge, no samples or credit cards? Have you done business with them at least a couple of times? And they seem reasonable to do business with? How do you pay them? Have you found that your orders arrive in a reasonably timely manner (they claim 10-14 days)?

I don't see a tea on their website with that exact designation. They do have: "Luu-Guu (Deer Valley) High Mountain Traditional Style Oolong 'Legend of Tung Ting' ", which they describe as "Medium Fermentation, Medium Roast" - is this what you're referring to?

Thanks.

Hi Doug,

Excuse me for my little interruption. Humm... we do accept credit card payment through Paypal. We chose to stay with Paypal because this is the easiest way to guarantee the security of transaction. They do their works very well! We can even provide invoices in Canadian Dollars or Pound Sterling or Euro if they fit our customers' needs.

Moreover, we do provide sample size products which are not individually listed on eBay because it's hard to calculate the shipping cost automatically for these light weight items when multiple items are purchased. To visit our samplers:

We have taken a lot of orders from our precious customers by email alone. If you need customized samplers, just email me; we will do our best to meet your needs. Use the "contact us" button in our catalog

About the delivery time, I can not give any guarantee since the work is done by post office. But we ship products with registration, non of any our customers didn't get their parcels. Moreover, most customers received their parcels within 7-10 days, for some recent cases they even got the parcels in

5 days.

I feel sorry for these inconveniences caused by hanging on another website. We are building our individual website, we will exactly have all these barriers solved in our new website. Thanks for your comment which helps us to enhance our service!

Doug,

Teahome had graciously sent me samples. I was quoting from the labels on the tea packets. I have looked at their e-bay store, but have not yet made a purchase.
