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.

Doug

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.

Doug

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.
