Seems she took her ball and went home. Members all across the forum seemed to say "enough" all at the same time. She deleted all the text from her recent posts in response. :roll: Seems she can dish it out, but can't take it.

Will she be back, or has she moved on to the next forum?

Ha! Well once I saw you on the case, I skipped her (?) rantings.
But hopefully we can get to the bottom of what was really sent out.

Got a PM from this guy as well. Fortunately he will likely not rejoin the OTTI.

If he wants to, I could price his beyond reason since he is in the Philipines.

The leaves look like any other green TKY I have seen.

I feel a little bad about this one. I feel like my criticisms have opened up the floodgates of crazy doubt and indecision. I certainly don't have any special knowledge regarding tea.

To be honest, I felt kind of mean spirited criticizing the M.S. tea at all, because of this board being Adagio-hosted, but in the interest of fair reviews, discussed my observations, and now look at the can of worms it opened. :shock: :(

Adagio wants transparency above just about anything else.

It certainly has become a most lively discussion! :lol:

Don't feel bad Geek. Differences in opinion of a tea are one thing, but
having two different batches, well that's something else. I really would like to get to the bottom of it because for one thing I really like this tea. I have given it good reviews and secondly and would like to reorder it, so until we know what happened, I'm feeling quite leery.

Indeed it has! I'm glad that Adagio is so open about reviews, good and bad. Kudos to them.
