Persimmon Tree:
a few blends I forgot/was fence sitting when I did my my massive first order:
Lychee Peach
Fruit Fusion
Classic Black
cool. I was/am unsure since peach and black tea both I am finicky about, but the lychee pear I got in trade (green base) is discontinued, so I am in search of another lychee tea asap!
I’d also recommend the Tea Table’s Shanghai Lichee Jasmine, it’s a great fruity/floral combo.
Picked up a Try Me Pack from Della Terra. Samples include:
Cinnamon Crackle
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
Blackberry Bramble
Eight Candles
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
I love Oatmeal Raisin Cookie and Pineapple Upside Down Cake! Both of these do VERY well through at least three steeps by the way.
Ok, even though I don’t really have a tea budget right now, got a dumb credit card to pay off, I have been needing a good staple black tea. I was going to get Laoshan Black, but since Yu Lu Yan Cha Black was on it’s way to being sold out, I grabbed some. I’m rambling at this point, but basically I wanted to get more, but I kept my limit to $35. Hopefully my mom will go halfsy with me.
4oz Yu Lu Yan Cha Black: $26
1oz Laoshan Genmaicha:$5.50
7g Master Han’s Wild Picked Yunnan Black: $4
(no shipping)
Total: $35-ish
White Lion Tea
Each sample is about 12 servings which to me is generous. They come in cute little glass jars! :)
1 (55612) QUILAN OOLONG (ORGANIC) LOOSE $4.75 $4.75
TEA SAMPLE JAR
1 (53812) LEMON SOUFFLE LOOSE TEA SAMPLE $4.75 $4.75

I put in an order from the ETS since I had a free shipping coupon.
Maple flavored black tea (teabags)
Herbal- blackcurrant (teabags)
And I made the mistake of ordering two samplers, Tea for any Occasion (loose) and Tea with Friends (bags)
Tea for any Occasion is supposed to be:
Assam Tea
Vanilla Chai Tea
Angels Dream Tea
Darjeeling Tea
English Breakfast Blend No. 2 Decaff Tea
Godiva Roche Flavored Rooibos
Scottish Caramel Toffee Pu-erh Tea
Pumpkin Spice Flavored Black Tea
But it looks like I’m getting a lot of substitutions instead:
Angels Dream Tea
Assam
English Breakfast Tea Blend No. 2 Decaff
2 Godiva Roche Flavored Rooibos
Scottish Caramel Toffee Pu-erh Tea
2 Vanilla Chai Tea
Tea with Friends is supposed to be 5 bags each of:
China Jasmine Green Tea
Irish Breakfast Decaffeinated Tea
Ontario Breakfast Tea
Indian Spiced Chai Tea
English Breakfast Tea Blend No. 2 Decaffeinated
Instead I’m getting:
China Jasmine Green Tea
English Breakfast Tea Blend No. 2 Decaff
Irish Breakfast Decaf
2 Ontario Breakfast Tea
Grumbles Not very pleased, way more breakfast teas than I need. Looks like I’ll be looking to swap.
Never mind English Tea Store – figured it out by the tea you got lol
Yeah, English Tea Store has some of the cheapest tea online, but when you go for the samplers you don’t always get all the variety you wanted.
Wanted that Pumpkin spice and the Indian spiced Chai. I almost bought a 4 oz pouch of the pumpkin spice tea.
Grumbles ETS messed up and seems to have forgotten one of the 1 oz pouches of Godiva Roche Rooibos. Looks like I’ll have to call them tomorrow, maybe I can persuade them to send me a pouch of something else.
My last order with them had a pouch missing too.
Couldn’t resist some of the 52teas that resurfaced – I have a feeling it being 1:30am had something to do with that. My first order with 52teas:
Lime Jello Salad
Weeping Angel
White Christmas
I’m expecting this from DavidsTea today:
High Mountain Oolong (organic) $10
25 g
Second Flush Darjeeling $7
50 g
S&H $5
Total $22.00
The order I just put in to Verdant Tea
Tea Trail 2004: Willow Grove Workshop $14.50
1 oz
Mt. Banzhang Farmer’s Cooperative ’03 Sheng $3.50
7g sample
S&H 8.50
Total $26.50
I did a sneaky little Bill Me Later by PayPal order on Persimmon Tree :) It’s my first time ordering from them and I used the 15% off coupon for subscribing to their emails:
Peach Apple Crisp
Chocolate Banana
Mandarin Silk
Honeysuckle Pu-erh
and then I couldn’t resist Almond Happiness from 52Teas because Bill Me Later is a blessing and a curse to my tea obsession.
I just checked out their site. I like what they have. Are they relatively new? I don’t see them in the list of companies on Steepster…
Both 52 teas and The Persimmon Tree are not new companies. You should for sure be able to find ratings from both companies in terms of their teas :)
Forgive me, I’m new to this site and loose tea in general. I found them! I was looking under Persimmon Tree instead of The Persimmon Tree… :D
Not a problem. I just wasn’t sure which of the companies you were looking for since there were two mentioned. I find the search feature seems to work better if you put in less sometimes. ie one word haha.
