They emailed me too and I never received anything. Also the "Thai" tea syrup spammer similarly emailed me promising his sincerity and he would send me a sample too... yep, nuttin' from them either.
I think we were correct with our initial feelings, even if they were legit and sold magical sincerity tea that spoke good chi I don't think they would see a penny of mine.

Yea, they moved their site to
Yes I did receive their samples and I am still evaluating them. I will let you all know something after this weekend when I have had a chance to devote some serious time to them.
I will say that I feel these guys are being sincere in what they say about their views. They use tea as a means to an end in a spiritual way that few Westerners would find familiar. On the other hand I have found that they are somewhat overly aggressive at times. We will see what their new site looks like.

Thanks. I look forward to your review. Despite their aggressiveness and 'out-there-ness' it would be nice to find another vendor of quality product. If they are sincere, I hope it works out for them and that they learn from their mistakes.

Hi David,
I have tasted two of their teas, the loose leaf and the 1965 brick. I'll refrain from posting comments until I've tasted them one more time. "Quality product" might be putting it just a little too strongly.

Well, I tried all the teas again. At this point I have to say that I cant recommend any of them for the price. IMHO they were mediocre at best. I have emailed Aromaserne with my opinion but they have not responded. This seems odd as they were quite prolific with me before I tried their teas. In any event I have emailed them and asked for something more akin to what I am used to seeing with respect to aged puerhs.
We will see what they say.....
