I got my very first Davids Tea order. I’m very excited to try their teas. It’s going to be a happy weekend :-)

Oh Yay! That is very exciting. What did you order?

Exciting times! Have fun! :)

I ordered a variety of their holiday sale teas. Merry collection, holiday collection, tea for the tree (3 metal Christmas tree ball ornaments filled with tea), gift tags, party crackers with tea, and a brand new tea thermometer. Plus 3 free samples. All in all it’s like 17 different teas, most are just little samples, but a few are larger amounts. I love the catalog they put in the box. They are very smart, I can tell there are many other teas I want to try from them.

Woah! So not only did some amazing samples from ifjuly arrive yesterday, my RiverTeas order arrived at the office too! I was off yesterday to deal with grown up stuff like getting my license transferred over to this province and getting the car inspected blah blah blah, so it was REALLY AWESOME to see this when I came in.

I place this order last Friday, using the 10% off discount code I got from entering their V-day contest, and it arrived yesterday. From Germany to Toronto in less than a week. And I paid $4 for shipping? Boys and girls, consider me AMAZED. I don’t think I could get an order from DAVIDsTEA that quickly and they ship from Montreal. (Prices are comparable to DAVIDsTEA as well, but everything smells much fresher etc).

I’m happy I didn’t already make tea to bring to work because I immediately HAD to try Dolce Vita and Boatsman.
(and so far they taste so good)

I just want to reiterate how great this company is. This has been my second order and the only complaint I have about the company is that some of their add-ins are a little big, so I worry about even distribution for consistent cups (and maybe this is just a thing I worry about that isn’t a big deal). So if you haven’t tried them, I say what do you have to lose? You get 3 free samples with each order to make sure you’ll be back… :P

Wow, that sounds fantastic. I started out only ordering Canadian but I’ve been starting to look around. Will keep this company in mind and looking forward to reading your reviews.

ifjuly said

that IS really impressive! wow. i will have to remember them…

I just wish they had a few samples to try… or an inexpensive sampler pack to get a taste of what their teas are like.

I will say the teas on their site do look good :)

TeaLady441 said

I agree- samples would be nice, but you could always take a chance with 50g of something with good reviews that you would probably like, and then choose 3 samples. That’d probably cost you around $6-8 depending on the tea, and if you think of it that way, $8 for 50g of tea and 3 samples is pretty good!

Well… considering the samples and possibly getting to choose them, not a bad. I guess if it was a total fail I could sell or swap it here. :)

I received my mystery tea from Miss B today. I am so excited to try these teas. The package came so quickly, I wasn’t even expecting it. Miss B outdid herself putting awesome teas in my mystery bag, because of her I have 16 new teas to try.

Ubacat said

How exciting! I went for the mystery pack too but mine hasn’t arrived yet. It’s got a ways to travel so I’m not expecting it right away. So which tea are you planning on trying first?

I got my small Life in a Teacup order. 1 oz of An Xi Tie Guan Yin Oolong and 1 oz. of Dong Ding Oolong (Greener Style) + 3 really awesome samples!

It seems like Life in a Teacup is a lesser known place for ordering teas and their website could be a bit confusing to navigate at first but they are sooo worth checking out!

My Tea at Sea samples. Absolutely lovely packaging. And yes, the tiny cork sailboat does float.

I had plans for a sipdown day, but I think I’ll have to try one of these first. Hoping the tea is at least half as good as the presentation.
