I'm a big fan of oolong, and TeaCuppa seems to have a nice selection.

Has anyone bought tea from them? How were they, in your opinion, and how is
TeaCuppa as a vendor?

Thanks,
Dean

I can't say one way or the other. I can say I personally won't use
them after their astroturfing and lame attempts here at RFDT. That
doesn't mean you shouldn't. Search this group and read the posts, form
your own opinion. There are many great places for oolongs, if you list
a few vendors you've tried/like/dislike as well as any particular
types of oolong, I'm sure people can provide you with a number of
options.

Excellent Rou Gui regular and Da Hong Pao exquisite. The Ban Zhang
mao cha is really good too.

I haven't tried their pricier offerings, but I have been very happy
with most of the yancha I ordered from them. They got some bad press
a while back because they had some pretty awful puerh (and supplied it
for an online puerh tasting among a dozen or so bloggers), but their
yancha is a completely different story. From what I hear, they drink
mostly da hong pao and rou gui themselves.

I like their oolong offering too..agreed with brent and danica on
their wuyi rock oolong.

I kind of feel like an idiot who keeps pressing the same button here.

"Jazzy" works for / owns Teacuppa.

Seconding Dominic, I wouldn't buy anything from anyone who feels the
need to be so deceptive about how they advertise. If they are willing
to pretend to be a customer and go on newsgroups to lie about the
great service and great tea they've gotten from themselves, what is
preventing them from lying about other things too? Like, for
instance, that their tea is organic?

Or, where the stuff is from? Banzhang maocha is awfully hard to come
by - wouldn't you think twice about buying some from someone who has
repeatedly demonstrated how unscrupulous they are? If this person is
willing to pretend to be "Jazzy" and pipe up anytime someone mentiones
Teacuppa to talk about how great it is, what is to stop him or her
from buying some low grade leaf and selling it as Banzhang or
baijiguan or da hong pao?

If you read this newsgroup and buy from Teacuppa, you are letting this
moron exploit your ignorance, even if you do get decent tea (which
would surprise me greatly). There are a lot of internet tea vendors,
both inside and out of China, that do not see the need to lie in order
to sell you tea. You should give them your business.
