OK Shen, here is some info for you and anyone else interested:

Zhong Guo Cha
175 Burr Hill Rd.
PO Box 933

They are registered for a booth at the 2007 World Tea Expo
(6/9/07-6/11/07) in ATL, GA. Their booth seems to be huge, which means
someone is putting up some fairly big bucks to get noticed.

The Website was registered in Aug, 2004 and it was created with MS
Frontpage for them by "Plastic Design Hong Kong Ltd"

It is hosted by xdf.net

The domain is registered until 2014 which also makes it seem pretty
legit and show that they have plans of sticking around. Their SSL
certificate (secure website cert.) is valid and good for over 2 more
years.

Beyond all of this if you click on their "Tea Events" link at the
bottom of their page you will find they must have a Brick and Mortar
store in Killingworth , CT and offer some great tea tasting
opportunites for FREE and invite folks to bring a friend.

overall I have to say that the site and company seems very legit, their
prices (based on a couple quick checks) seem to be fair if a little
high, and I have not seen their shiping charges. I did register for a
free sample, and if I receive it I plan on making an order for a few of
their greens and their Dan Cong.

Hope that helps... I haven't had a chance to research the business
owner or registration yet because I'm home and don't have access.
