I have the exact same experience with them. Stopped ordering until I hear they have their act back on track.
Also, I have had maybe 10-12 oolongs from outside Taiwan and China including Korea and even Haiwian USA. Didn't like any of them at all.

I'm having their Spring '08 Baozhong right now, and it's surprisingly very good, despite the poor packaging.

Yeah, I think this will be my conclusion as well. But I haven't given up just yet.
