for those who have wondered, here it is...

Not those who wondered about the tea. For the tea, tasting is the answer. For those who wondered about the human issues behind the tea - more accurately, problem of one single person -  here it is...

Tolerance and patience are what I always value, as probably indicated by the long list of timeline I put at the bottom of my comment. But tolerance and patience aren't the equivalent of foolishness, and shouldn't be taken to a level that nurtures fraudulence.

My apologies for bringing up such a negative message. But I spoke up because I do believe it serves a positive purpose.

With only 3 reviews I don't think this person has much of a "feel" for puerh tea.

Thank you for your comment. I have no problem for his tea reviews, even if they are biased. But to me it's rather outrageous that the time frame of his reviews is intertwined with his paypal fraudulence on us. More outrageous is that somebody could commit a fraudulence while keep talking loud like this. To me, this is not just a fraud, this is insult on people's intelligence.

Hi Gingko,

I just ran into this post and read the posts on Steepster, and I wanted to tell you that I feel/judge you handled this delicate and difficult situation with honesty and grace. Few other business-people I have encountered on the web (or in business in general) seem to have the professionalism to be open to criticism coupled with the courage to tell it how they see it. I admire you for all of the above.
