"Having performed extensively throughout Asia, and having drunk many different teas in Japan, Taiwan and China- I can safely say that the Orthodox teas that Alstar Limited sources are by far the best I have ever tasted."
"I first discovered Alstar Limited about a year ago, and have since become hooked Orthodox tea they supply. I brew it up first thing in the morning (it's more refreshing than coffee and does you a whole lot more good), and last thing at night."
"The Alstar Limited Orthodox Tea has an outstanding quality and aroma. Alstar Limited truly offers the finest orthodox tea I have ever tested. Your services are excellent and the tea is simply exquisite. This has to be tea at its finest."
