What do you (or anyone else with experience with Teahome) think of them? I
wasn't familiar with them before your post, and they seem to have some
interesting teas for pretty reasonable (at least by USA standards) prices.
I'm not interested in the "green style" oolongs, but their various medium
and darker roasts look nice. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have sample
sizes, so one presumably takes one's chances, which gets expensive pretty
quickly. Also, it doesn't look like they take credit cards.

Ahh, the vicissitudes of the tea life.

Thanks.

Hi Doug,

Always a good idea to purify threads. As for Teahome, the price is right. I
have high regard for their tea called "The Legend of Tung-Ting Oolong: Deep
Fermentation style." Notes: "Smooth, soft, rich enough. 11/16/04: So soft
and rich in aroma, roasted, but not overly. Bit of bitter-sweet. Well made,
excellent finish.3rd: slight metalic in aroma. Taste is pure."

On balance, I think TeaHome is fairly priced for the quality of their teas,
and they are definitely worth a look. Teas are available at much higher
prices elsewhere.

And, to your knowledge, no samples or credit cards? Have you done business
with them at least a couple of times? And they seem reasonable to do
business with? How do you pay them? Have you found that your orders arrive
in a reasonably timely manner (they claim 10-14 days)?

I don't see a tea on their website with that exact designation. They do
have: "Luu-Guu (Deer Valley) High Mountain Traditional Style Oolong 'Legend
of Tung Ting' ", which they describe as "Medium Fermentation, Medium
Roast" - is this what you're referring to?

Thanks.

Doug

Hi Doug,

Excuse me for my little interruption.
Humm... we do accept credit card payment through Paypal. We chose to stay
with Paypal because this is the easiest way to guarantee the security of
transaction. They do their works very well! We can even provide invoices in
Canadian Dollars or Pound Sterling or Euro if they fit our customers' needs.

Moreover, we do provide sample size products which are not individually
listed on eBay because it's hard to calculate the shipping cost
automatically for these light weight items when multiple items are
purchased. To visit our samplers:
http://stores.ebay.com/Teahome-Premi...pl ayZ2QQtZkm

We have taken a lot of orders from our precious customers by email alone. If
you need customized samplers, just email me; we will do our best to meet
your needs. Use the "contact us" button in our catalog
http://www.teahometw.com/usa/TeahomeEnglishCatalog.htm

About the delivery time, I can not give any guarantee since the work is done
by post office. But we ship products with registration, non of any our
customers didn't get their parcels. Moreover, most customers received their
parcels within 7-10 days, for some recent cases they even got the parcels in
5 days.

I feel sorry for these inconveniences caused by hanging on another website.
We are building our individual website, we will exactly have all these
barriers solved in our new website.
Thanks for your comment which helps us to enhance our service!

Doug,

Teahome had graciously sent me samples. I was quoting from the labels on the
tea packets. I have looked at their e-bay store, but have not yet made a

I have had very good experiences with teahome-
Tea is received in a reasonably short time-
Teahome has also prepared a sampling pkg of the type of teas I enjoy the
most for a reasonable price-
It is one of the most positive experiences I have had with a web based
company-

Unfortunately for you there are those of us who do not use Paypal. I quit
using them when they started asking for my bank account number. If I can use
my credit card through a normal checkout process on a website and I don't
need to give my account number then I feel I should be able to do so through
Paypal but they don't see it that way. They say that it reduces card
fraud...I say my bank accnt number's none of their damn business...

Take a look at one of your (paper) checks sometimes - it carries
the same infomation as PayPal asks for. Meaning that if you are
concerned that PayPal might submit an invalid charge to your bank
- I believe that so could WHOEVER you give a physical check to.

mikus


p.s. I don't know if PayPal still does this, but it used to be
that when the merchant's processing was handled by PayPal,
and the customer submitted a credit card, PayPal would
(unless explicitly told not to do so) "under the covers"
CREATE a __PayPal__ account for the customer, pay the
merchant out of that new account, then debit the credit
card to leave the new account with a zero balance. (And
PayPal would have acquired a new subscriber, complete with
a spanking new PayPal account accompanied by the credit card
information to charge for purchases by that PayPal account).

I'm so sorry to hear that you feel inconvenient with PayPal.
If so......how about money order? We also accept money order. But please
kindly make sure that the money order can be cashed in Canada.
Hope this helps!
Does anyone have other suggestion about payment method beside credit card
merchant?

Wow, you maxed out your $2000 unverified CC spending limit on PP and
now they want the bank account information shown on a personal check?
I like PP because the seller will never know your CC information. You
get some other goodies besides what your CC gives you. You apparently
haven't purchased anything from a website just set up to collect
credit card information for resale even though you get what you paid
for. If you're going to use a CC on the Internet use something like a
Virtual Visa at www.epassporte.com. You pay up front to load and use
and if stolen by a website the next bogus transaction will cancel
because you only keep on balance what you paid for. If you see some
bounced transaction message with the VV just set up a new one. All
that being said I wouldn't waste my PP/CC on any website that sells
tea. So don't complain too Space Cowboy because I live in a metro
area that sells tea and you probably do also but I can live with the
fact that I don't have to drink whatever somebody else bought on a
website and you do under the guise of convenience and choice.

that being said I wouldn't waste my PP/CC on any website that sells
tea. So don't complain too Space Cowboy because I live in a metro
area that sells tea and you probably do also but I can live with the
fact that I don't have to drink whatever somebody else bought on a
website and you do under the guise of convenience and choice.

Actually they started asking me earlier than $2000...this was last spring
though, but I believe they changed their terms of service, if my memory
serves me correctly (and it may not) they lowered the 2000 to 500 or
something. Good point about the info on the check, I'll have to think about
that. Problem is, the "credit card" I use online is our Visa debit...if
Paypal makes a mistake transaction on that it comes out of our bank account.
So that's obviously a problem. By the way in case people didn't know, a visa
debit does NOT offer the same protection as a real credit card...you are
responsible for more than the first $50 though if it's fraud I think you can
work with your bank. It's a pain.

No I haven't thank goodness, though I have a feeling some of our personal
info was stolen from the databanks of a Very Large Internet Service Provider
and was used to make some fradulent purchases. Even when "they" say your
info is safe it isnt necessarily, IMO.

Good idea, I'll keep that in mind.

I don't recall complaining to you. I do however like to let merchants know
that there are those of us out here that don't use Paypal and that that is
the main reason why I am not shopping with them...it maybe makes them
realize there are unwashed masses out here, maybe even people who don't want
to "gasp" use any type of card at all. I don't consider convenience and
choice a "guise" I consider it a "blessing" (minus the religious connotation
please) and a very lucky thing to have. I also patronize my local merchants.
I have exactly one puer to choose from from among half a dozen different
local Asian stores. So no, I don't have a lot of choice there.

Speaking of choice, I've heard from more than one immigrant from East Africa
that the first time they set foot in a local grocery store (like a Safeway)
they literally broke down in tears because of the number of choices that we
have. (By "we I mean those of us in richer countries) So don't you tell me
it's not something to be grateful for...there are people that'd give their
eye teeth to have what some of us do. I'm happy with a cup of Tetley's but
then I'd like to try Bi Lo Chun, which I can't find anywhere around here. Is
that so wrong?

Don't worry about my retail rants versus websites. It's my picadillo
and I get my shot in whenever I can. It's not the personal You-You
but the impersonal You-They. I do wish PP would let you remove your
bank information once you get verified. As it stands now someone
could hack your account and use it as a source for funding along with
your CC. The hacking would most likely happen at your computer with
spyware sending your logon account keystrokes back to a pirate site.
I use PP with Ebay because the low volume seller wants to get paid and
can't support a CC shopping cart versus the volume dealers who can.
I'm a collector where I buy things all over the world and I've never
had a problem with a PP merchant. I prefer PP over a ubiquitous CC
shopping cart. You can shop Yahoo stores with it's supporting
shopping cart. I think IPOT is one example.

you aren't exactly 'required' to give PP your bank numbers are you?
they keep bothering me about it, but i don't ever plan on giving it.
if they 'require' require me to, i'll just drop my account.

Money order is not a problem to us if it's more convenient to tea lovers.
These conditions are indicated in our listing pages.
I didn't especially promote it because these mailing processes take extra
time (which means keeping the buyer waiting!), and it's hard to ask sender
to mail these "valuable paper" with registration. :-1
However, if spending such a time can help you getting fresh tea, I think
that's still worth a try.

I know there are some different payment services, therefore just wonder if
somebodies have experience about them....

You are not required to give PayPal your account if you agree to pay with a
credit card. Its only if you want to be "verified" and increase your single
payment above something like a $1,000.
IMHO - no PayPay, no pay, pal.

When I was a member I distinctly remember Paypal saying that if I used it
for more than a certain amount (it may have been $300 or it may have been
$1000, I don't remember) then they would require a bank account number for
me to use it any more. That was aggregate amount...over the lifetime of my
Paypal account, not a single payment. And that was even if you used a credit
card...which to me doesn't make a lot of sense since I use credit cards
successfully on other sites on a regular basis and they don't ask me for a
bank account number. Paypal's not a bank, of course.

Just checking their use policies...apparently it is a total of $2000.00 now
(cumulative). Which really doesn't answer my question which was :if I am
using a credit card that has been issued to me and that I had to fill out
(presumably) a form for etc., why does Paypal need to know my bank account
number? What possible use could they have of that information?

Anyway, all I'm saying is that if a merchant says they only go through
Paypal then I will usually contact them to see if they will accept any other
arrangement and if they won't I go elsewhere. No biggie. But it's my money
and my purchase and my decision, period. I'm not going to feel guilty about
it.

We should (IMHO) sign off this thread...it's getting way off topic. If y'all
want to continue the discussion with me in particular feel free to E-mail.

It took me five years on Ebay to max out my unverified cc spending
limit. The information you enter for bank verification should match
your cc name,address,etc ergo Verified. If someone stole your PP
account and went on a spending binge the product can only be shipped
too your house. I'm not sure but I think PP is left holding the bag
for cc abuse not your cc company. I don't have any problem using a PP
merchant anywhere anytime. The seller pays the service fees not the
buyer. You can also become Verified by signing up for a PP cc. If
I'm an online retailer I'd become a PP merchant and let them worry
about cc transactions. I'm even seeing PP added to sites already with
their own cc shopping cart. I think Ebay wants to move into retail
purchasing.
