Woot! Thanks :) I’ve been eyeing some tealux lately

Any recommendations for their black teas or oolongs?

Dexter said

Jin Jun Mei- Golden Eyebrow is really good
Assam Black Beauty #8
Black Pearl Sumatra
20 year aged roasted oolong
Those are some of my favorites…

Thanks! I saw the Assam #8 and was very happy. I’m on a big Taiwanese kick lately.

mj said

I second the Assam #8 and also recommend the Gui Hua Osmanthus oolong! I’m obsessed with that oolong:

20% off and 2 free half ounce samples. Expires on the 16th

Thanks, had not heard of this store before. Picked up the Taiwan Ruby 18. ;)

boychik said

Their Yixing pots all sold out. Are they so good?

apt said

Blodeuyn: They’re pretty well regarded online, they’ve been open for 9yrs. Hope you enjoy it! What samples did you get?

boychik: Not sure. She does 75% of her business in person so people may have bought them in the shop. Or maybe she stocked them a long time ago and never sourced more.

boychik said

Funny, it says new Yixing for August and they are all sold out. That’s why I thought maybe they are very good quality. Not cheap

Keemun Black and Yunnan Gold. If I am ever back on the west coast I will pay them a visit.

apt said

the software they use for their store is weird in that way… the Yixings were all added to the online store in 2011. It seems to just shuffle the stuff on the site every month.

Their store is based on Zencart (I’m a web developer) and that’s a quirk of the “monthly” featured unfortunately.

apt said

what’s the best software for an online store in your opinion? Shopify?

I only work with open source platforms. In that regard it really depends on your needs. How many products, necessary features, ease of use, web hosting, etc. In general I like OpenCart. Magento is not horrible if your server can handle it. Avoid Zencart if you can.

DavidsTea has 40% off a lot of their summer teas / teaware! It just went live 10 minutes ago!

Dustin said

Awww, I was hoping the glass carafe would be on sale. :(

They always have good sales when I can’t visit.

Dustin said

^They have them all online too.

It’s all in bulk online though.

Dustin said

Oh, true. :/

They really need to stop slowly adding more and more stuff to the sale section. If one more baby blue box with the enormous logo comes in this house, my husband might exile me! lol

Have them mailed to a neighbours house? (Insert evil laugh here.)

Green TerraceTeas is having 50% off of everything till the 25th, with the code: besttea12

Well that is compelling.

Ost said

Right?? Haha it’s good I don’t have a credit card on me right now xD

TeaLady441 said

Oh…. I didn’t see this.
/runs away/

Me neither, Cavo. Covering my eyes…

Dr Jim said

This is dangerous. I loved their samples. On the other hand, 50% off is as good as Black Friday, so I think I’ll need to place an order. Black Friday in August. Why not?

Aaaand I’m screwed. Does anyone have any experience with their gongfu style teapot? I’ve been looking into buying one, and that sale is painfully good, but I’m not sure what I should be looking for in gongfu. Is 170ml a decent size?

Also, their easy cup tea maker sounds really tempting… agh.

Sil select said

oh god…

I am eyeing that gongfu style teapot as well. Is it worth it?

Cheri select said

Grrrr….This isn’t fair. I want. 50% is awesome, and I know I like the tea.

boychik said

I just want to mention this is not Yixing teapot. They say clay. 170ml is pretty big for one person.

Ubacat said

Oh my! I’ve LOVED their teas. Why couldn’t they have had this sale later when I had worked some of my tea stash down. Now it looks like I might have to order….

Must resist….I behaved during Teavivre’s sale :(

looseTman said

Such restraint & willpower!

mj said

I may have bought samples of all their oolong and black teas (for $20 including shipping!)…because I need more oolong? Yes, more oolong. Ost, I blame you ;)

boychik said

mj, is ship free or you must meet some minimum?
I loved their Li Shan Black.

yyz said

Shipping is only a $5.00 flat rate for me. Very reasonable and conducive to future purchases.

boychik said

I agree. Very reasonable. It’s so hard to resist;)

looseTman said

How much Li Shan Black will you be ordering? ;-)

boychik said

No more than 50g. I shouldn’t even order any. It’s just too good not to get.

mj said

boychik, the $20 included $5 for shipping. I’m not complaining though, since it was $30 worth of tea!

So I just had a weird issue on the website when I placed an order using paypal. It said something about the order being approved, but there was an error, and that I should contact the merchant. I also received an email from Green Terrace saying that my order was confirmed, so I’m extra confused. The only method of contact I can see is the info@ email they have provided. Am I overlooking a phone number?

Edited to add: It looks like the correct amount was deducted on my paypal page, so I guess I’ll wait and see how it all unfolds.

yyz said

I received the same issue! I replied to the order confirmation from GTT.

I had the same error but all seems fine.

Whew, okay! Thanks for the swift replies, everyone. Glad to know I’m not alone here. I hope it all goes through.

If the store sent an email, they got the order. It wouldn’t send us a store confirmation (not PayPal) email otherwise so I am not worried. :)

mj said

I had the same error message, but I already received a shipping confirmation so I’m assuming all is well

Dr Jim said

I had the same error message when using a credit card, but when I went to my email to follow up, I already had a message confirming my order. I figure that means it’s all OK.

Just noticed that they use PayPal to process normal credit cards, so this isn’t a surprise.

Just got my shipping notice. :)

Also got a shipping notice. Looks like I missed the boat on the Gongfu style teapot, though. Kind of bummed, but wow, did they refund me the money fast. Plus they took the time to email me to let me know the circumstances, and say they were including more free samples. Pretty impressed with my experience overall thus far. Can’t wait to get my package.

Cheri select said

I also got the credit card error.

And I didn’t notice about the gongfu style teapot. It still is listed as available on the site, so I ordered one. Oops.

Dr Jim said

Got an email from Green Terrace saying credit card order didn’t go through; please try again. Got same PayPal error the second time too. Sigh.

Cheri select said

Well, I sent an email. We’ll see what they have to say. Frustrating.

Dr Jim said

The email they sent me promised some samples to compensate for the hassle. At least they are trying to have good customer service, despite what I assume are computer errors.

Cheri select said

I haven’t heard back, but that’s understandable with the time difference. I expect to hear overnight….

Cheri select said

I got an email from GTT that they cancelled my order. I just placed it again, and it went through this time. Hopefully, it’s all good.

Dr Jim said

Good luck. My fourth attempt just blew up. They’re working on it with the computer guys.

Dr Jim said

Of course each time it was just “one more time”. The good news is that the order seems to have finally been accepted (5th time the charm?). I’m a tech guy so have patience with computer screwups; this is a new company and they’re working the bugs out. I know the tea is good; I was part of the free samples group a month ago. Before I placed my order I sipped down the last of my sample.

Cheri select said

It was frustrating, but my emails with their customer service were very nice. They answered questions and took care of things. I’m happy. I’ll be happier once I have the tea.

I think they might be all squared away now.. I placed my order about 11:30pm PST, and got notified it shipped at 2:30am PST. I’m sad that ALL their teawear was OOS though.

Dr Jim said

My tea has shipped!!!! Now I just have to wait for the post office. No worry: I’m not going to run out of tea in the next week or two (or fifty for that matter).

looseTman said

So the ordering issue has been resolved?

looseTman said

Honey Black, Li Shan Black, or both?

I got both.

Dr Jim said

I got my order this afternoon! They added several samples (as promised) to make up for the web site aggravation. Between my order and the samples, I now have at least a sample of everything they sell.
