Where was that order from, Rellybob? Usually a line thru something in an order means that it was knocked down price wise, or a mistake.

Azzrian said

That was a verdant order. I think the reason for the strike out was just a coding issue in the copy and paste.

One of the very best!

I had to try out the English Tea Store. Their prices are just so reasonable! I hope the teas are good.

Angels Dream Tea
Monks Blend
Arctic Raspberry

And three sampler packs, with a total of 25 teas to sample!

All for $42 including shipping because if you use the coupon code facebook1 you get free shipping. I’m excited.

Alphakitty said

Their sampler packs are awesome! One ounce of each tea so you have a lot to play around with.

Azzrian said

Arctic Raspberry sounds delicious! I have had the other two and they are excellent! The sampler packs offer quite large samples if you got one of the same ones I got! You will be VERY impressed!

Oh, good. I can’t wait. Are they pretty fast shippers or does it take a while for the package to arrive? Some of the sample packs I ordered have 5 sachets per sample, and some have 1 oz. looseleaf per sample.

Oh man, I have looked at their site before but never ordered anything. Those samplers are awesome. I have 3 in my cart, 20 teas total, and it’s not even $20! I shouldn’t do it ahhhhh.

Amanda, like you, I went over to have a look and now I have $16 in my cart. ah! I shouldn’t do it either!

Rachel – they are not the fastest but not the slowest. I think one week approx is how long it takes to get to me here in Kansas.

I managed to avoid buying tea for about a month. Now this. ack! Someone stop me! I really need to drink faster and/or have tea parties where my guests will actually drink tea. For some odd reason, the only guests who like to drink tea are my husband’s friends and family visiting from Germany. They even sell looseleaf tea in bulk bins at German supermarkets. Odd how you never hear about the tea culture in Germany when they are clearly so fond of tea. Except my husband. hmph.

Also, I now have a ton of Long Island Strawberry and Bourbon St Vanilla. If anyone in the NYC area wants to swap some with me, let me know! Trying to avoid extra postage costs. :(

“Odd how you never hear about the tea culture in Germany when they are clearly so fond of tea” I know! I had no idea about TeaGschwendner even existing until I was long gone from Germany, and when I looked at all their locations, there was one in EVERY city I visited, and I was in at least half a dozen!

PS now stop buying tea! I don’t know if that actually works coming from someone who plans to make a massive DavidsTea order when their cocktail collection comes out next month. Arrrrgh.

Good reason to go back! For tea! and their fabulous rye bread. And pretzels. And butter on things you never imagined needing butter.

Ok, I will stop buying tea now. phew! Thanks Amanda! :)

DT’s fall line up doesn’t interest me too much, and I’m not really interested in cocktails so I’m safe from them at least. There are other tea places I’ve been itching to order from though. Those will be a problem.

momo said

And Mezzo Mix! The only soda I will ever drink!

It will actually depend on what cocktails they are making into tea, because if it is anything like the fall ones, I will be pretty let down.
And I just found my loan money processed today and the ETS order still stands…ahh.

Ahhh I couldn’t help it. I ended up getting 4 samplers cause I figured anything I don’t like/actually want would be useful for the traveling tea boxes.
I got the flavored black and flavored green samplers, the chocolate one, and one called a tea for any occassion.

So 28 ounces of tea for just over $25.

momo said

English Tea Store! I thought it was going to end up on the same page with the others but it didn’t work out lol
