Where do I begin? Infinite stars for Rishi tea :) My day starts and ends with it for last two years! Super glad I identified this brand in the wholefoods tea aisle in San Diego. Then I started ordering on their website. My parents love their earl grey supreme and my sister loves their matcha green tea, so I take pounds of it whenever I go to India :) I've tried their earl grey, earl grey supreme, spicy masala chai, chai, vanilla mint chai, turmeric chai, vanilla black tea, regular black tea, green tea, matcha, bancha, sencha, dandellion detox herbal tea, white tea and so on... I gotta say no other brand beats rishi tea. Love their loose leaf, love their bags. I'm just glad that rishi tea exists! And best of all my friends LOVE their chocolate chai. I make it in gallons because my friends drink lots of it, as it is super yummy haha! Oh man, I'm spoilt with rishi tea, and I'm sure it'll stay with me and my family for a really long time! Please please continue picking the best teas from best gardens. Lotsa love to...
Read moreOrdered two packets of "Milk Oolong" tea. Received regular oolong tea instead. Most unhelpful employee offered absolutely no solution and did not believe that I was telling her the truth (over a transaction that was less than $50).

Needless to say, I will never purchase from them again, and will also spread a bad word about them simply by telling the truth about my horrible dealing with them. Also contacting the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint, and will likely file a lawsuit in Texas under the Texas DTPA for deceptive trade practices (I am an attorney, so will be filing the...
Read moreOutrageous pricing! The most expensive tea purveyor on planet earth! I first ordered from Rishi Tea back in May of 2011 and ordered for several years after UNTIL the endless, exorbitant price rises became too much to handle. Comparing the prices of the teas today versus in past years is astounding. Some prices are 200%; 300%; 400% higher than in the past. I travel regularly to Japan, Korea, and Taiwan and can tell you - if you really like tea - there are a multitude of other suppliers supplying exact same teas (even with some of the garden direct) at exponentially cheaper pricing - and they ship internationally. What happened to Rishi is sad - it became a ruthless corporation only concerned about bottom lines. Any true tea savant would never, ever shop here due to the company's...
