Great tea (or so I’ve read), but I refuse to buy from them because of their name. Fortunately they don’t have anything too drastically different from another company so I can find something similar somewhere else.

There are hardly any companies that stock their tea here so I’d would like to try everyone, but in particular Mariage Freres & Adagio!

TeaEqualsBliss said 2010-02-10 23:10:22 -0500

I can send you some Adagio stuff next week…PM me with your interests and info if you want

Here we go…

The Simple Leaf
American Tea Room
California Tea House
TWG Tea
The O DOR
Ito-en
Les Palais des Thes

I need to try more of:
Mariage Freres (because Marco Polo is just THAT good)

And yes, Samovar is very, very worth it. takgoti is correct in her Samovar-love.

I agree Bethany, but I’m coveting the pu erh yixing set. That’s a pretty good value.

I really want to try some stuff from Kusmi, but the sampler I want is out of stock. :( Caved and just bought big tins of a couple teas. Yum!

Other than that, I want to try stuff from:
Adagio Bought some samples. :D
Upton
Rishi
52teas Bought a couple kinds and am waiting for them to come. :)
Harney & Sons Got samples of a couple kinds from JacquelineM :D
Mariage Freres Got a sample of Marco Polo from JacquelineM and am in love at first sip!
Samovar
Lupicia Bought a few kinds that sounded especially yummy! Plus the catalog with the samples is greatly anticipated.

And I’m waiting on stuff that I can’t wait to try from:
Den’s Tea (Result: Yummy and authentic! ♥)
Golden Moon (Awesome sampler with some VERY delicious finds!)
Andrews & Dunham (YAY S2!)

:D

I could send you some Adagio stuff if you’re interested. I just moved out of Jersey, so I’d be more than happy to help out a fellow New Jersian. Or, if you’d prefer, I could just e-mail you a $5 coupon. Just shoot me an e-mail at zildjianpride@yahoo.com if you want!

I actually just ordered from them yesterday! Thanks, though! :)

What did you think of Den’s???

Small
the quiet life said 2010-03-09 06:23:24 -0500

I love Den’s!! Even though they’re on the west coast, and I’m on the east coast, it took less than a week for their stuff to get here both times I ordered from them.

I love their tea, too! (Well, except the one I sent you. I hope you got it!!) It’s so authentic, and really brings me back to my time in Japan, and it’s definitely high quality too. :)
