Dear macaron&Mozart:

very thank you for your reply.can you tell  me the reasonable price?

i often offer the 500g sample for the people all around the world free charge.of course i never say that 5g samples are little.in fact a lot of company recieve the sample fee.

waiting for your reply

thank you

For the teas that I usually purchase, samples will cost between $2-$4 (occasionally a bit more or less), depending on the price of the tea. (I am sorry for reporting that samples were 5 grams. They are really 15 grams.)

do you have to pay for the sample?

thank you

Yes, I do have to pay for the samples. They cost about $2-$4 for each sample. (sometimes it costs more if it is an expensive tea.)

Best of luck to you and your tea business!

Thanks for explaining the color scale for me.  These things are not well explained by western tea marketers. Where does the color scale come from?  Some green teas look greenish when brewed, most white teas are much lighter in color than any others, and pouchongs do look yellowish... but oolongs don't look blue and teas like darjeeling (which looks to be less than 100% oxidized) don't appear red in the cup.  Who started the color coding tradition?

As to pricing, there are many price points.  Some teas seem to be good value, while others just do not.  The teas I'd mentioned strike me as good value for money, but that is becuase they are fresh and well kept when I buy them.  I've bought other oolongs at similar price points and have been disappointed and found them bad value for money. I just didn't enjoy the Ten Ren Ten Lu tea that they advertise as quite special. 

So, tea pricing really depends on the quality of the tea... which I'd have to taste to judge.  So samples are really essential.

My job? I'm a teacher. In Japan. Nothing to do with tea, except that I love it. Except I actually prefer flavoured black teas, heathen that I am . It was just coincidental that the day I read this thread, I had just come back from a visit to Mariage Freres (my favourite tea shop in the world). A friend had ordered a Taiwanese tea that was listed as a blue tea. We searched through their book until we found out what blue teas were. In previous issues of their book, by the way, they use the term oolong, not blue. I'm not sure why they changed...maybe because blue tea sounds more interesting?

The tea my friend ordered, by the way, was called Tarry Souchong from Taiwan. As a lover of flavoured, perfumed teas, it was an assault to my nose. To say it was smokey was putting it lightly--it smelled like someone was smoking some meat the whole time we were there. My poor chocolate tart, along with my lovely tea, were tainted with smoke.

After that experience, I have come to realize that I'm not really a tea connoisseur. I just like my flavoured, perfumed black teas.

I did indeed receive the samples and have had the chance to taste the four green teas you sent over the weekend. Two were quite good, and two I had trouble getting much flavor out of.

The quite good were the Daughter's Ring and the BiLuoChun. I'll do a proper tasting and post notes sometime soon.

I wasn't getting much flavor or aroma from the Silvertip or the Steamed Green. Both produced a fine mouthfeel, but the flavor was too subtle, I think.

Maybe it was my brewing technique? I use a YiXing teapot, and water at about 80C, with steeping times between a minute and 1.5 minutes.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

very thank you for your reply.i am happy that you have recieved my samples in only three days.

i do my best to know what kind of tea and what kind of taste you prefer.china have all kind of tea.

you country's tea all come from other country,so,i have the better quality and lower price tea than the tea sell in your country.the deliver time is also short(3 to 4 days from china to your country)

the green tea that i sent to you all are simple process way to make.that means the taste are the raw material tea taste.it is helpful for people's body.it is more natural than other tea.the green tea come from yunnan.the natual taste is rich.needn't any process.other place's tea need to add different tea to adjust the taste or add other things that is not tea to make the taste well.the yunnan is very few pollution.so from the taste and quality it is natural than other tea and helpful for people's body.

of course,you should tell me your feeling about my samples,and give me suggestion.

so that i can sent the tea that you like for you.

thank you very much
