Trying Indian Teas - A Great Opportunity - NOT SPAM!

Lately, there has been so much interest on this list regarding thevarious types of Indian teas.I have, in the past, stated my appreciation of the Lochan tea productsand the family of producers for their excellent quality and ethicalbehavior in marketing and in dealing with tea workers.Lochan Teas are offering a great deal for those of us who may have nottried Indian teas before or just want to get to know the variousselections and subtleties of the varieties grown in different teagardens.On their web site, they are offering a taste of TENteas of your choosing for FREE. Just pay the postage.I think this is a great opportunity to sample unfamiliar selections orhave a sip of the unknown.Indian teas are quite new to me and I admit I was doubtful that theywould offer the complexities of my China favourites, but I am learningto relish the nuances of seasonal Darjeeling picks or the layers offlavours found in myriad Indian tea plantation leaves.I am passing this information on because of the revelations Indianteas have offered me lately as I have overcome my myopic, and oftenprejudicial, approach to these teas I knew little of, except for myearly childhood teacup of Lipton at my grandmother's table laden withsugar and milk and served with puddles of unappetizing coddled eggs.These are not my grannies teas !These Lochan teas have knocked mysocks off and I just wanted to share this sentiment with you becausethis sampling sounds like an excellent introduction to the unexploredfor those of us who have dived into the depths of Chinese teas withsuch gusto.Please join me in giving these samples a try so that we can discuss,compare and review them here with all the enthusiasm that we give toour cherished Chinese selections.Also, note, I have nothing to garner from this recommendation. As youcan tell by my posts, I love tea! I love to rave about my discoveriesand enthusiastically share news of a find or a bargain.Lochan has impressed me; not only with a dedication to high...

This is, of course, my fault. I engaged. I hope no one who may be new to this group leaves because of this nonsense. Let's continue to discuss tea. Shen

I'll guess she gets a discount acting as a front for the site because you notice she won't tell the vendor they don't belong here marketing period. She's the one that chased off a new poster when he was quite right questioning her motive. I jumped in when he asked if anybody cared.
