Let me preface this by saying that I am very picky about who I buy my tea from. I tend to stick with companies that have the same goals and priorities, that are looking for the same things in their tea as I am. I figure your supplier is like your family doctor or tatto artist, once you find one you like and trust, you stick with them.
I started with Rishi, who I adore and hope they will one day give me a job, because their travelogue about FTC teas in Yunnan cought my imagination like nothing tea related had before. Their friendly service helped me learn about the different teas and teapots I would need. Then there was the Silver Tips Tea room, again, fast friendly service, like minded priorities.
Now I have spent the past few days looking at your site, and I am thoroughly impressed. There are things about your selections that I do not like, but you have won me over by your commitment to what is most important about tea, enjoyment.
From the person who uses lipton teabags and microwaved water, to the others who only use fresh spring water and the finest, single garden, full leaf teas, we all drink tea because, to whatever extent, we enjoy it. That is what we all have in common.
This website is the best that I have come across. From the forum to the ability to instant messae a tea expert, this has been a great site to come back to. Soon I will place an order and see if your teas are just as good. I have faith that they are.
