Sample-Size - Mad Rush for Quantity!

Sooooo…Azzrian and I were talking about some companies that offer a large selection of teas in sample sizes…and I mean LARGE SELECTION…we are going for quantity here, folks!

Do you know of any companies who have tons and tons of different teas to buy samples-sizes of?

The more the merrier!

And the best one I know of is Upton Tea Imports.

I thought of Upton first also. Others are Harney & Sons and Adiago. I have not ordered any tea from Upton or Harney & Sons. I keep intending to.

Adagio, Teavivre, Verdant, Harney and Sons, are ones I can think of right off the top of my head.

I love Teavivre-only reason I didn’t mention them is that they aren’t a mega large company. But I have more tea from Teavivre right now than anyone else and have been very pleased with them overall.

Here is what I have…

This would work only in the case of random mystery samples. Just thought I throw this option in the mix. :)

And I also have 2 sampler boxes available at the moment (one just sold … these usually go fast): http://liberteas.teatra.de/store/products/

You’re going to SELL tea to your Sororitea sisters? :D

Ha! No. But, I figured other people would be checking this out too and hopefully … they’ll be interested in what the SororiTea Sisters have been drinking lately!

My order from Adagio came today, although I haven’t sampled anything yet. I’m waiting for my sense of taste & smell to come back, & skipping the caffeine until tomorrow. Anyway, I ordered several samples, and I’m pretty impressed with the amount they gave. Definitely enough for several cups!

The Tea Spot also offers a sample size on their teas, enough for 5 servings, which I think is pretty decent! Nothing irritates me more than only having enough to try a tea one time. That’s almost like a guarantee that I’ll screw up by over brewing or something…

The Republic of Tea offers Taster tins which I think are equal to a sample size (10 cups). These range in price from $3+ depending on the tea. According to their website there are 63 loose tea varieties available in the taster tins. http://www.republicoftea.com/

I just got in two sampler tins from Art of Tea. I love that they are inexpensive and come in nice little tins! Have yet to try them but that is next!

LiberTEAS said 2012-10-12 14:26:48 -0400

Speaking of Art of Tea, they do have some nice sampler sets. They come in a cool pillow box and come with a bamboo strainer.

Nice will check that out! :)

Azzrian said 2012-10-12 15:34:26 -0400

They are on sale for 19.00 and there is a 15% off code as well – DANG!

LiberTEAS said 2012-10-12 16:01:54 -0400

It’s been a while since I’ve ordered a sampler, but, from what I remember, they are a nice size (enough for several cups of tea), and I also remember that AoT has great customer service and fast shipping. A really great company…

I tried the two I purchased from them and I am sending them on to you and TeaEqualsBliss … for some reason they didn’t sit right with me – not terrible but Im not in love. Hey that works for me though I get to pass them on :)
