The unflavoured teas are described very well. I should think this is good enough.

Omg.
If it is their attitude.....

I am a tea n00b and need more guidance. When I spend £10 or more (hell, even £3) per 100gr of tea I would not rely on assumptions. I would expect the exact list of ingredients, nothing less

A big mug of Rooibos backed apple.

green tea - post-lunch & dog walk ....

Iridal · 03-11-2011, 09:28 AM

Only one more hour to go ...

Water and a bowl of yoghurt.

astra · 03-11-2011, 10:37 AM

1 h 23 minutes.

I am going to make a cup of Ahmad's Hampton Breakfast.

GeoffC · 03-11-2011, 12:33 PM

One Hot Ginger Drink ...

anijh · 03-11-2011, 12:49 PM

Apple juice. I'm at my mom's place and it's the only thing she has to drink besides water.

ProfCrash · 03-11-2011, 01:11 PM

Two pots of Rooibos Ginger at home, 2 pots of Rooibos Vanilla at work, 1 pot of Fancy Oolong Ming Xiang, and now a pot of Lapsang Souchong.

But none of the shops gives it when it comes to the flavoured teas. The only exeption are the flower flavoured rare teas like Dragon Perls. The "normal" flavoured ones like your baked apple tea don't come with detailed descriptions where they harvested the leafs.

What happened? Two days ago you were happy that that interesting company had no shop in your area and now it is the devil incarnate just because it does not state details about teas you don't like anyway... weird.

You posted a link for an interesting tea. Professional tea dealer. I look at the tea and have zero clue what type of tea it is. Maybe not the detailed list of every single ingredient but black/green/blue/yellow/white? Nothing? That's why the disappointment. If it were a rubbish shop, I would not even notice it. Because it looks like a good one, I am disappointed in the lack of information.
Having a fancy tea name TZAR ALEXANDRE doesn't mean a thing to me. Chinese black with a flavour would be meaningful piece of information and attract my attention.

It is sort of like another website where you purchase many teas in nice caddies with some fancy tea names that mean nothing to me. I asked you why they are so obsessed with Russian names, but you didn't answer and I decided not to pursue it.
I am a precise type of a person. My mother always said my father has got some German blood in him. I think I got it from him too. I don't like vague meanings.

I received a parcel today

Code:

1 x Organic Dung Ting oolong
1 x Orient Beauty
1 x Milk Oolong
1 x Organic White Downy Oolong
1 x Organic Pouchong oolong

2 x Pu-Erh Aged
1 x Pu-Erh Mini Tuocha "Xiao Tuo Cha"

1 x Pi Lo Chun "Green Snail Spring"
1 x Phoenix Eyes
1 x Yunnan Green

1 x Golden Yunnan FOP

Only for my better 37/45:
1 x Pu-Erh Wellness Guarana
1 x Pu-Erh Sweet Chai

Everything is in plain language for robots like me

Even the last two tea for her are described well:
Pu-Erh Sweet Chai

Quote:

Ingredience: Pu-Erh,cinnamon,licorice,ginger,sandal wood,clove,aroma,flowers of thistle.

Pu-Erh Wellness Guarana

Quote:

Pu-Erh, guarana, ginkgo, redcurrant and blackcurrant, leaves of raspberry and blackberry, flowers of peony and bluebottle.

This is the way I like it

Sorry about it

Anyway, the weekend has officially started.
When I came home I unpacked the tea parcel and drunk

Then half pint of Pedigree with steakrare and back home just finished half a pot of mini tuocha Pu-Erh
