Okay. I'm the guilty party who passed on information re: a sale at
this purveyor. Has anyone ever dealt with them? Reason: I have not
received my order nor have they returned any correspondance regarding
my order.
If anyone has a source at this company or any experience with them,
please share your advice. I am getting nowhere.

Shen,

I also ordered a couple teas from them, probably the same day as your
initial post. I have also had no luck contacting them, but the order
arrived in today's mail ... wrapped in a cloth bag sewn shut. Haven't
tried the tea yet, but wanted you to know it arrived.

great to have found this topic on thunderbolt Tea. I am in UK and
wanted to order some teas from this vendor, but wanted to do a bit of
research work on them first. One thing I know is that you get your
teas once ordered :) I logged on to this group just because of this
topic. Hi Shen and Hi Salsero! Some update on their teas please, I
mean the quality. Some of their teas look awesome and mouth watering.

Thanks shen, you are a life saver, but do you mean to say that you
didn't order the fresh ones? You had ordered the 2006 stocks? I was
looking forward for their 2007 stocks. I am a great fan of puttabong
and they have one from first flush. I checked other sites for the teas
they have, prices are sky high and as mentioned by you the added
shipping cost. The 2006 stock was mediocre you say that means 2007
must be a little better the experienced. What do you say. I will give
it a shot by ordering some first flush fresh teas and will update. Has
anyone ordered recent 2007 teas from Thunderbolt Tea? Please I need
your feedback. sooner the better because i am about to order. will
wait for sometime for the feedbacks and after that i will give it a
try.

i visited some more sites from other indian vendors like golden tips
tea yes, lochan tea too , but what attracted me to Thunderbolt is the
choice of teas they have on their site - they have got my favorite
teas. I looked it up at other international vendors and got some of
their teas laid out, like for uptons, but their price and shipping
whew!

So please need your feedbacks on the FF 2007 teas from thunderbolts.

I ordered Thunderbolt's Thurbo SPL (China Special), 2nd Flush '06 and
Castleton FTGFOP1 SPL China, Aut '06, both on sale, both last year's

Thanks salsero! i am still online and i got your feedback. thanks for
your guidance regarding this vendor. seems fine to me to give it a
try. thunderbolt site is open and so is lochan as you have recommended
and I am comparing. Ya had a look, I will go for thunderbolt first.
and my decision for FF purchase would be puttabong, singbulli and
makaibari and yes one more from second flush muscatel castleton. oh
their 1200 gram order offer looks tempting, but let me try these 4
first. I will leave a feedback once i get these teas.

thanks again to all for the help
