Help!! I Need A Recommendation For A Quality Tea Merchant!

After hours of research on the Steepster website last year, I finally identified what I thought would be a great resource for quality oolong, green and white teas. TeaVivre is the vendor I was delighted to find. Unfortunately, due to their user-surly website, I went through prolonged AGONY last fall to successfully purchase just two teas. This was after several email exchanges with Mary at TeaVivre. PayPal is the only payment method I am willing to use and I had some issues completing the payment processing. Now I am ready to order some more teas from TeaVivre and I am having even more problems. Even though I received an order confirmation from TeaVivre after several attempts to complete the order and payment, I received an email from Mary telling me the actual PayPal payment was never received. I called my bank this morning and there was no PayPal transaction received by my bank. I called PayPal today and they told me that I had made four attempts to pay TeaVivre and all four payments that PayPal sent to TeaVivre were rejected by TeaVivre. I really love TeaVivre’s teas. However, if I can’t receive them, I can’t enjoy them! Does anyone have a recommendation for another quality tea vendor? I am so frustrated and so out of patience. This is NOT what tea should be about! Any recommendations are appreciated!

I can recommend Teasenz, they’re also based in China. Also have a look at this page with an overview of all tea coupon codes available for a list of vendors: http://helloteacup.com/tea-coupons-promo-codes/

I don’t know why you’re having issues with Paypal and Teavivre. I never did. But Paypal recently became more strict with things, so maybe that is part of the problem. Teavivre is always willing to work any problems out.

Do you like Chinese tea? I also like Chinese tea. Every time I drink tea, it makes me feel happy. So I am also happy to provide you with some suppliers.
I have some good shops to recommend to you.
