Gingko for ITD

[Salsero]

She's as excited as the rest of us to find new vendors

Exactly. She doesn't have that shop-worn attitude that vendors and vendor wannabes have. She seems as excited and open to new experience as the rest of us.

[chamekke]

Exactly. She's here as a true participant and tea enthusiast.

Which is why I voted Yes for Gingko

[ABx]

She's sending me some samples from zen8tea, because we were both interested to find out how her teas are and we both got different things, and I think I got some insight into the tea she sells. She's sending me some of the stuff she has up (she hasn't mentioned it, just what I saw from the link posted here), and it's just stuff that she bought from major retail stores while in China.

I suspect that some of the No votes are because she sells tea, but I don't know if buying tea at retail stores and bringing them back to sell on eBay (along with clothes, handbags, and other misc stuff) is really the same as being a tea vendor. TBH I've thought about doing the same. Anyone can set up on eBay, and I suspect that anyone here would end up selling tea stuff as well.

As she describes it, it's a little store of tea and things. I browsed through the items and would not consider her a tea vendor. It looks to me like she's just reselling some things she bought personally.
