Rating teas is not about discovering the universally "best" tea - everyone has different tastes. It's about discovering what you like most!

This tea from @uptontea is the first example of an Oriental Beauty (Dong fang mei ren /東方美人) oolong on our site, that was produced in Vietnam: https://t.co/GgNBChJoZV - Upton is a great company for finding styles of tea produced in new or unusual regions!

@TAOOFTEA This would be great! We are still finding your site to be unusably slow. Please let us know because we'd be excited to update our links once you get this resolved!

[RateTea @RateTea]

@TAOOFTEA We want to work together with you,and all tea companies, to help everyone success! Having a fast website and us re-adding links to your site would be a good result for both of us, and would probably carry a lot of other benefits for you as well!

Today we have the first tea review on our site, from a tea grown in Nagaon district of Assam, this one reviewed by @cazort: https://t.co/2X6cuHFz2e

[RateTea @RateTea]

@TAOOFTEA To be blunt, your URL scheme changed and we need to update the links to the product pages on your site. Your site being incredibly slow to load wastes our time and makes us inclined to just remove all the links, which hurts you both in terms of SEO and sales.

[RateTea @RateTea]

@TAOOFTEA Why is your website so unusably slow? You might want to look into that. We wanted to check and update some information on our site and your site isn't exactly making it easy. A lot of pages take 8+ seconds to load, some FAR more than that.
