Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you had any experience buying from chinese-tea-culture.com. I checked for a vendor thread here but didn't find anything. I'm looking at buying some tea ware, probably a gaiwan, faircup, and cup set (and likely some other stuff since its hard to resist!). Just wondering what others are saying about them since I haven't ordered from them before. Also on another topic any tea recommendation that really stand out from them?
Cheers

For quality, pricing, and vendor willingness to answer questions and deal with customers, I would definitely recommend ordering tea ware from TCT. I've special ordered a few things with TCT's help, as well, and liked the vendor's knowledge of tea ware and care in packaging.

OTTI 6 was an amazing TGY tasting of 5 different grades of TGY from
http://www.chinese-tea-culture.com/ ... here is the topic.

Have gotten several teaware items as well, and will get more! Really nice artisan celadon.
Member IPT, aka Shangguan or Scott, is very easy and accommodating to deal with, plus a really nice guy!

I've only bought from him once, though he's a pretty pleasant vendor(and, as said, member here). Good with communication and everything is as described/pictured. Enjoyed the Premium TKY sample he sent along with it as well(been meaning to buy some, but I'm kinda stocked up on TKY for a bit
).

Thank you for your replies and glad to know the vendor is a fellow tea chat member! That's really cool. Sounds like all experiences have been very positive, so I can order with confidence. I will also check out the OTTI 6 thread that you mentioned Chip. Thanks again

+2!
Shangguan was instrumental in helping me and another TCer to thoroughly surprise Chip with gifts for his birthday last month! He was extremely accommodating and very helpful to me in making the right choices.
Five star recommendation ... from
