I've ordered tea from 3 different tea vendors in Taiwan & was very satisfied with the service & the tea. EMS is pretty fast & you can track your package online. One vendor used newspaper to wrap the tea in the box, & it was fun to look at. I've also ordered from Seattle. I have to order from far away as I've found no good local vendors for Taiwanese oolong.

... a tasting of Kagoshima Bancha from GreenTea-Japan. It is bancha, but not bad bancha.

Currently staying warm with home roast mugi/genmai ... hits the spot!

Ohhh I missed the party yesterday.

Happy Birthday Teachat!

The farthest I ever order tea was either China or Japan which ever is farther from me but either way it is REALLY REALLY far away.
