Merchant Reviews

There are a surprisingly large amount of places to buy tea online anymore. This is no doubt to the increasing popularity of tea itself as well as the Internet's unique ability to make relatively rare products available to anyone - or at least to anyone who takes the time to look for them.

Listed on this page are merchant reviews of online tea shops that I have personally bought tea through. Just click on any of the links below to read a full and thorough review on my thoughts about a particular tea merchant, their website, their ordering system and other facets of an online purchase that potential customers may find of interest.

Adagio Teas : One of my favorite tea shops. Superb teas. Great customer service. This tea shop has a 5-Star ranking. (Read Review)

Culinary Teas : Another of my favorite tea shops. My first loose-leaf tea was ordered through culinary teas, as was most of my teaware. And I have no complaints. This tea shop has a 5-Star ranking. (Read Review)

Dragonwater Tea Company : Yet another great place to buy tea from. They have very in-expensive tea samplers, making them an affordable way to try new teas. They also carry a wide selection of teas, too. (Read Review)

Amazon.Com : Amazon is more than tea, that's for sure. Indeed, tea is an "after-thought" at Amazon. And, Amazon doesn't have any tea of their own. Instead, Amazon is a "clearinghouse" on more than 100 brands of tea. This merchant has a 5-Star ranking.

Featured Oolong Tea Pouchong : Oolong tea from Taiwan. Formosa, meaning "beautiful" was what the Dutch explorers called this island. The oolong teas grown here continue to be called as such. The least processed of these are termed pouchong. Our "Opus Pouchong" is a lightly oxidized tea with large, wavy, dark-green leaves. It is arguably the most delicate tea produced in Taiwan, a country known for its share of delicate teas. It yields a light cup with delicate fragrance and a gentle, precociously sweet taste. An underrated tea we urge you not to overlook. Available from Adagio Teas
