Aloke,

I totally agree on Makaibari, apart from their cheaper greens I can´t
remember a single pack I didn´t enjoy.
IMO each year their teas are getting better and better, Mak is among
my alltime top five DJ estates.
Like every year I can´t wait for the first samples to come in, I´ll
certainly post some lines.

I wish someone from this newsgroup would maintain a web page with
people's reports and opinions on what teas they have tried out in the
current production year ....

Thought about that myself, but wasn´t too sure about how much sense it
would make.
Just think of the list of problems involved apart from the time and
effort to set up such a site.
Problems with availability, especially of certain invoices. The tea you
´re raving about could have been sold out without further notice and
so forth. How much sense would that make. For years I´ve been dreaming
to start an international forum on teas but there were just too many
arguments that kept me away from doing it.
I remember a website with tons of reviews but where have I seen
it ???
In the end there´s good old rfdt.
How about an "official" rfdt homepage of some sort [FAQ, reviews,
news, user bios, ...] ?
Would such a site make sense ? At least we could post some pics that
way.
Anyone interested ? The seniors ?

Best, Karsten
