I have a thing for coffee and tea superstores. They have such a wide range of products and each one has taught me a great deal about this world. My luck with each of them has varied.
Coffee Bean Direct maintains regular contact. I've reviewed their coffee on several occasions and I'm currently working on reviewing some of their teas. I adore relationship I've had with them and I'm hoping it continues for as long as possible.
Fresh Roasted Coffee was receptive at first. I wrote a review about their coffee and sent it to them. They didn't give me any feedback on the review. Since that time, I have received no word from them. I am disappointed. I would love to re-open dialogue and re-review their coffee while also covering their various teas.
That brings me to Baltimore Coffee and Tea. This company has so many different products that they could be the superstore of all superstores. Normally, I fling messages off to any and every company. I approached things differently with them. I didn't want to blow this opportunity.
I'm not sure how much time actually passed before I wrote Baltimore Coffee and Tea. It seemed like forever. I fired off a message to them, expecting that it would be a long time before I got a reply. My wait wasn't too long, but it was long enough for me to forget about my original message.
I was ecstatic when I got a reply. They were suspicious as many companies have been in the past. I did my best to ease their mind. It must have worked because I later got a message from the president of Baltimore Coffee and Tea. I never knew that it'd be the last message I'd receive from their president and the company as a whole.
The message from their president centered on what products I was interested in. I replied with a list. No response. I kept sending messages periodically to make sure they knew that my list was a series of suggestions, not demands. It was no use.
I'm despondent over the fact that things have gone so poorly with Baltimore Coffee and Tea. I'm not sure what went wrong. I'm interested in doing whatever I can to fix it. You can add them to the list of companies I will never stop writing about, even if they don't give me the time of day.
