Wow! I am thrilled! Thank you so much!

Once again, I’m looking for 10 brave souls to help me with new product samples. I have 4 green matcha teas, 3 different white matcha teas and 2 different black matcha teas for sampling (unflavored matcha). I’m looking for someone that will give me their opinion regarding what they think of the quality, value and flavor of those products.
The price for any combination is only $1 + shipping fee.
I have to charge a $1 or PayPal will reject the purchase since you would be paying for shipping and nothing for the product as if you did not buy any product at all.
I will post a link to a survey page where you can give your opinion.
Product is only accessible by this link. Limit 1 per person.
http://tinyurl.com/a8ux5d9
let me know if you have any questions.

This calls for a matcha tasting party! In which everyone gets very hyper from all the caffeine.

Small
ashmanra said 2013-02-03 20:06:09 -0500

Just ordered mine! This sounds like fun!

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-03 20:09:35 -0500

I’m sorry for the high shipping fee, but after the recent price increase from Post Office, 3oz order that used to cost a bit over $3 to ship, now costs almost $7!! I do not mind giving away the product for free, but I can not pay for shipping. I can not even give you a discount on this since we do not make any money on shipping. These are the quotes coming straight from the Post Office.
:-(

BoxerMama said 2013-02-03 20:17:05 -0500

No trouble, I realized that afterward (and deleted my comment). My comp is just having trouble loading the website, but I’m gonna order some.

Small
Frolic said 2013-02-03 20:39:38 -0500

Just ordered! My first red leaf and I’m looking forward to it.

Small
BoxerMama said 2013-02-03 20:41:15 -0500

Congrats, Frolic! You wont regret it!

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-03 20:42:39 -0500

I’m upset as much as you are. I knew the price was going to go up a bit, but to make it over 2x expensive is outrageous. I’m afraid of loosing all our Canadian and UK customers.
At least with this Sampler Pack you get 9 different matcha samples, so even with the higher postage fee, it’s still a good price.

Small
Donna A said 2013-02-03 20:50:11 -0500

I just ordered my sampler, plus the Bavarian Cream. Shipping was just under $6.00, so not that bad, considering all that matcha is coming!

Small
cuppaT said 2013-02-03 21:07:56 -0500

Just ordered! I’m enjoying your green and black matchas and am looking forward to trying the white as well.

Small
BoxerMama said 2013-02-03 21:10:45 -0500

If I stopped ordering tea from the US I would have nowhere to order from. A few dollars wont break the bank, I just order bigger quantities, less frequently.

Small

Guinea Pig here too. Can’t wait to try them!

Small
yappychappy said 2013-02-21 00:18:13 -0500

Wait. 10 people didn’t respond. Is it too late?

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-21 16:21:39 -0500

Over 10 people already made a purchase. Sorry.
I will have something again next month. I’m working on a new product and I will need some help testing it :-)

Small
yappychappy said 2013-02-21 17:16:59 -0500

No reason for apologies. Thanks for your use of this site so heavily for brand awareness and promotions.

Small
Frolic said 2013-02-04 02:03:39 -0500

Are you still doing giving out the codes?

If you are I’d love to review people once I’ve tried the sample. I have a strong feeling I’m going to love them and want to share the love.

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-09 15:23:44 -0500

We’ll be closing this program at the end of next week. If you feel a week will be enough for you to spread the work, contact me at info@redleaftea.com with your full name and I’ll give you the code.

Small
Frolic said 2013-02-09 16:19:20 -0500

E-mail sent!

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-09 16:25:07 -0500

Got it. Your code is RSP39
Let me know if you need anything else.

Small
Frolic said 2013-02-09 16:28:01 -0500

The only other thing I wanted to know was when to expect my special sampler in the mail.

I’m going to start sharing the code now :)

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-09 16:28:43 -0500

All matcha tea samplers will be shipped on Monday :-)

Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-09 15:22:22 -0500

Sara C. just earned 2 free matcha teas. Congratulations

You betcha T.C. Hope you really enjoy it :)

looseTman said 2013-02-09 15:25:43 -0500

Does Red Leaf Tea currently have any promotions for black tea?

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-09 15:45:46 -0500

No, I’m sorry. At this moment we only have promos for Matcha teas.

Small
Sil said 2013-02-09 16:09:23 -0500

Some of their black teas are pretty good though :)

Small
looseTman said 2013-02-09 17:00:59 -0500

Yes, I’ve read many excellent comments about their black teas. That’s why I inquired.

Small

Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-10 17:33:46 -0500

Please note that 50% promo for new customers with special codes will end as of Friday 2/15/13.
Also, Ruth G. has just earned 2 free matcha teas :-)

Small
Sil said 2013-02-10 18:21:31 -0500

thanks for the heads up! I know the few people who tried through me have all really enjoyed the matcha they ordered.

Small
teapot1 said 2013-02-10 18:37:32 -0500

I may want to place an order as a new customer. How would I go about obtaining a promo code?

Small
Azzrian said 2013-02-10 18:41:18 -0500

You can use mine NFO64
Or anyone here you like that has one :)

Small
Sil said 2013-02-10 18:58:52 -0500

haha i say use azzrian’s as she posted first :) but yes a bunch of folks have a code and it’s a fantastic deal, especially if you’re hesitant at trying flavoured matcha (though red leaf also has some excellent unflavoured match i’ve been told)

Small
Azzrian said 2013-02-10 19:00:28 -0500

Aweee – just use any of us steepster’s codes here – we often share amongst us anyway :)

Small
teapot1 said 2013-02-10 19:28:35 -0500

Thanks very much…The discount is amazing, but the shipping not so much. I’m sure I will pop for it soon:).

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-10 19:37:09 -0500

As of now we have a special that for people that will buy matcha teas (only matcha teas):
For USA customers free shipping for orders over $47
For Outside customers free shipping for orders over $71

Small
teapot1 said 2013-02-10 19:51:15 -0500

Can the both the discount and the free shipping over $47 be used? Is there a code for the free shipping? Thank you!

Small
Azzrian said 2013-02-10 19:52:26 -0500

Pretty sure when you have enough in your cart to warrant free shipping it just gets reduced to free. At least that is how it has been in the past.

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-10 20:13:20 -0500

The free shipping should work for the amount AFTER the discount, but I know there was an error in the set up and couple order got free shipping to Canada even though the final order was below $71. Oh well, my loss is your gain :-)

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-10 18:58:14 -0500

Sara C. just earned another 2 free matcha teas. Congratulations!!!

Small
Azzrian said 2013-02-10 19:00:38 -0500

WOO HOOO you go Sara!

Small
Sil said 2013-02-10 19:05:54 -0500

Man thank you to whomever ordered this one! I’ve bugged a few people so I wish i knew who to thank and also who to follow up with to see whether they enjoyed it or not.

Small
Azzrian said 2013-02-10 19:46:28 -0500

A Manipulative Moment With Azzrian:
Send EVERYONE that you asked to order a thank you. When they reply confused having to confess that they did not order just reply: Oh my mistake someone placed an order and I so gratefully received two free matcha I just assumed it was you.
Then they may feel bad and make an order themselves. :)
Or not. :(

Small
Frolic said 2013-02-10 19:53:07 -0500

I might have to try that, I’ve yet to have anyone bite and use my code yet and I’m getting impatient lol.

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-10 20:14:27 -0500

Try posting the code here, so that there is a chance if anyone reads this posts, may use your code. I also recommend posting it on Facebook and Tweeter.

Small
Frolic said 2013-02-10 20:19:45 -0500

Good idea. I don’t have a twitter but I posted on facebook. I also posted on a few message bords I frequent.

Anyone who’s looking for some Matcha use my code and I’ll love you forever ;) Plus you’ll get some awesome tea!

RSP39

Small
Sil said 2013-02-10 20:21:42 -0500

haha not a bad idea Azzrian :) mostly though i just want to thank/follow up with ppl since while there’s something in it for me i DO think red leaf has great matcha and would only help promote them if i liked their matcha :)

Small
shakirah1984 said 2013-02-10 20:26:15 -0500

What if I’m buying, like… 200 dollars of matcha? But also want to purchase a bunch of the other teas as well…. I live in Canada. I know I would get free shipping on the matcha, but would I have to order the other stuff separately? Or would I get free shipping on the whole order?

Small
shakirah1984 said 2013-02-10 21:32:08 -0500

OK, so I’m running into an issue. It was initially giving me shipping options, etc. but now it’s giving me an error “Unfortunately no shipping options are available for your location.
Please contact us and we will see about delivering to you.”

Does this mean I need to split up my order? It’s totaling well over 300 dollars even after the 50% discount…. LOL Let me know, because if I have to split it up I will lose the discount on the second half of the tea. :( Let me know how best to proceed. Thanks.

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-10 21:52:33 -0500

No you do not need to split your order.
Just to make sure, did you sign up to set up an account with us? If so, I can log on from my side and check it out. Give me your name so that I know what account to check. First name and initial of last will do.
I’m sorry for all the issues you are having

Seems like you must have done something behind the scenes, because it just worked! Order placed! :) Can’t wait!

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-10 23:21:20 -0500

I was trying a few things to see what can cause this. I’m glad it finally worked :-)

Small
Sandy'sCuppa said 2013-02-10 20:59:57 -0500

Frolic, I’ve never tried matcha and I thought now would be a great time with the 50% off codes, but I’ve been trying for the last hour to register and just can’t get it to work. If I figure it out I’ll use your code.

Small
teapot1 said 2013-02-10 21:27:14 -0500

Have you checked your email? I just registered and the process is a bit antiquated but seems to be working. You are not directed to a different page after you have registered. You remain on the registration form page…

Small
Red Leaf Tea said 2013-02-10 21:30:31 -0500

Please email me your info to info@redleaftea.com and I’ll do it from administrators side. Note sure why there is a problem. I already have 3 new people registered, but I’ll check it for you in case something stopped working.

Small
Frolic said 2013-02-10 21:43:43 -0500

Thanks Sandy! Hopefully the people at Red Leaf can get it figured out.

Small
teapot1 said 2013-02-10 23:49:22 -0500

Can someone tell me what the shelf life of the matcha is? Also, how many calories are in the flavored ones (caramel,cheesecake)? Thank you!

Small
Kasumi no Chajin said 2013-02-11 03:54:43 -0500

matcha, once opened usually has a shelf life of about 3 months, sealed about a year.

Small
ashmanra said 2013-02-11 08:20:41 -0500

A while back the company posted on here that the flavoring lends about three calories. Otherwise, tea is regarded as having zero calories (unflavored).
