Any comment on the tea site ?
Hi all,
I am new to try Chinese tea last week. My friend brewed a pot of Chinese tea for me, it was good in taste. I found this web site on the tea packaging. Can anyone give me some comment on this site ? http://www.teatime.com.hk Thanks Suie |

Not sure what's going on here, spammer or brave hearted newbie, but they
have a 180ml yixing pot for HK$23. At my exchange rate at the moment thats only AU$3.50 ! With postage that's less than AU$20 landed. Probably mass produced - but hey if it makes tea. They also have some reasonable looking clay caddies for less than AU$10 too. BTW....Mr Tea Time, if you are genuinely new here and wish to learn and share then, welcome. But I suggest you better have a look at the RFDT archive and find out what the 'game play' is here. If you are simply spamming then I wish you all the best of luck - you're gonna need it ! -- Cheers Mal Oz http://maloz.bigblog.com.au/index.do "Zippy P" > wrote in message t... > can't say I can > > > |

It's nothing new. But, I don't know when you ****ers will ever learn that some of the people on this NG have greater knowledge about tea than you do. I mean like 60 bucks for some Jasmine tea? You are surely joking or are you just that plain stupid? I am sure you didn't mean HK dollars on your site, am I right? Time to update your template. |

these people wouldn't be the first site using local currency to sell their
wares. And knowing what is (was) in the shops in HK - looks like this site is more in line with what would sell locally rather than to the more well informed tea fanatics. ....doesn't make spamming right though..

If it is HK dollars, which I doubt it is, it would be undercutting any market price known to tea. Either that or their stuff is so low quality that it would be laughable. |

I was just going to say if you pay like 3 dollars for Wulong, the grade would be SUPER low. > Anyway, they have a version of their website in traditional Chinese > (presumably for customers in HK?) which lists the same prices in Hong Kong > Dollars. So it doesn't really seem too far-fetched to me. Considering most HK residents that are into tea regularily go into SZ just across the border at Luo Hu to buy "better tea" at lower prices because the prices in HK for just about everything culture related is off the scales, it seems really difficult to believe that they would market such low prices online if they were concerned at all with making money. |

Although these Yixings seem to be reasonable, there is very little description in regard to the quality. Some inexpensive Yixings of lesser quality are available in the states for a little more without paying exorbitant shipping charges AND, I am assuming this is spam. Shen |

The site operated for years in HK, as I know. I also bought some herbal tea
and Chinese tea from it before. There was only traditional chinese version available last year. But there is not much English tea information as in Chinese version. I can't say the tea quality is very high. As you know that price of the best quality Chinese tea is sky-high, may be more than hundred thousands for 1kg of Tieguanyin. I think the tea quality they sell is above average, not the same as that you buy from supermarkets and shops. Its price is low relative to its quality. Anyway, their service is fast and good to me.

Does anyone believe someone in Hong Kong is "New to try Chinese tea last week." and then post a .hk website? Just let it drop off into the aether. - Dominic |

yeah that's the problem I had, and have, with most of the ads here. They're
just lame. "I happened to run across this site called X, let me know what you think".. um no, you run the site. Just post it straight-up. I don't mind an ad here and there if it's topical. |
