Luce Gilmore (verified owner) –
Product: A good, reliable Darjeeling.
An English haiku:
Sunrise is tardy,
Birdsong delayed.
Darjeeling cools in a pint glass.
Service: As usual, the tea arrived quickly, in a lovely pizza-style box, inside which are the wonderful 3-layer tea bags (paper, aluminium foil & mylar). BTW I HATE it when the website questions my spelling of aluminium. This is the bloody UK, twerps!
But to continue.
The Ti Kuan Yin (Tie Guan Yin, fooh!) is superb, a hearty greenish oolong. The Darj. is a repeat purchase, well-known on my shelf. The Keemun I haven’t tasted for decades, & am looking forward to renewing my acquaintance. And the Oodoowerre… I am keenly anticipating this.
I shall report on the Greys webite in due course.

Service: Excellent turnaround.
Vanessa Gottesman (verified owner) –
Product: This is more a summer tea for me as a bit subtle for the winter months. However, come the summer, I shall enjoy Darjeeling far more.
Service: Excellent service. Rather too many feedback requests though. One should be sufficient.
