Apparently the postal carrier came around again and dropped off another package by my door. I ended up getting my order from JAS-eTea, except I’m missing some cups!

Pretty!

Have you gotten around to using it yet? :D

boychik said

Not yet. I want to use it for roasted oolong. I also ordered some Taiwanese Oolong from US site because they have 10% off. It will be here by Friday or Saturday the latest. That’s when I plan to season it ;)

Creating an account to rank Whispering Pines a 1 out of a 100 because you may have received less than you should have is quite unfair and looks disrespectful- I advise you contact them. Personally I believe, to which many people will agree with me, that Brenden is a pretty awesome dude and you should contact him about your concern rather than complaining the way that you are. Also, this is not the place to talk about it.

I disagree that this isn’t the place to talk about it – People can vent their frustrations…we’ve had lots of ppl talk about things that went wrong with their orders.

HOWEVER, that being said, creating tasting notes and ranking them because you’re upset is a little childish, especially without giving the company a chance to fix it. I’d echo Liquid Proust’s comments and reach out to WP to let them know of the issue and give them a chance to resolve it.

Hey all, there was a misunderstanding and it’s already being resolved :-)

what????

I was in a weird dwt mode on my scale… i guess thats why all my tea has been so strong at 3.0 grams I was actually steeping 4.7 O_O

Eek! Haha, yeah that’s crazy strong!
