Try Simple Loose Leaf's Selection Club for $1. (Sorry the deal has ended.)

Yeah that is correct. In fact check your inbox in the next few moments. I will send you the menu.

Ok great. So far I’ve received confirmation of my order and a welcome message. :)

Boom, menu sent.

It’s like magic! can’t wait!

is it april selections we’d be picking from or may? Given the timing of ppl signing up now?

Sorry that is a bit confusing. The menu is for May’s club which will ship on May 1. You make the selection in April and get the tea in May.

nope that’s all i wanted to double check :) I figured it was “may selections” :)

Yulia thanks for the question. That category, the oolong/pu’er, alternates between a oolong tea and a pu’er tea. For example, this month’s menu is featuring a oolong tea, next month’s menu is featuring a pu’er tea. Then we rinse and repeat.

I hope that helps.

You choose 2 of the 5 teas so you can just avoid the puerh selection, unless you choose the sampler.

With May’s selections I am really excited about four of the five, so I went with the sampler, and I figure I’ll either swap the fifth or put it in one of the traveling tea boxes I’m in. For April, though, I just picked two of the five. You really get a very generous amount of tea.

Cheri,
That is the perfect way to use any extra teas from the Sampler Pack.

Awesome. You will get your menu email shortly.

I have passed this on to the development team. I don’t know any eta but it is a great suggestion. And we will work on it.

Thanks, I can….ahem….keep my purchases less visible that way.

Do we need to stage an intervention? MARZIPAN step away from the tea cup.

Actually what am I saying. Tea for LIFE!

I about fell out of my chair. You have crafted the perfect response!

Hey Cavocorax,

We did have to raise our prices. We found, after last month, that our prices were dangerously low if we wanted to continue to offer our club with the current format of members getting to select their own teas.

As to the shipping, it looks like that is correct. With the three month plan the shipping to Canada is charged at the start, I wish there was a way to do the shipping as we ship but we can’t do it that way currently.

A side note: the price increase will not affect any of our current members. They are all grandfathered in at their old pricing.

Cheers,
AF

I totally understand that costs can go up with a program like this. Would it help if you tightened up the deadline for when we respond with our selection? Then you are less likely to order more than you’ll need to match our selections?

And to make sure I understand (Monday mornings, ugh?) the new price for Canadians will be 27.82/month if we choose the 3 month subscription?

When my subscription runs out, does it automatically renew? Or do I need to repurchase again?

Thanks!

The deadlines may help to some degree. To a large degree because we don’t offer a standardized tea box most of the “cost saving” methods out there for subscription box companies don’t apply to us until we are VERY large. But we are going to be working on ways to reduce the cost of the club while maintaining the quality of the club’s service. We are not willing to reduce the number of teas available, as some subscription box experts have suggested, and we are not willing to send out crummy tea. We would rather stop offering the club.

And yeah, for Canadians the per month cost of a 3 month plan would $27.82. If you sign up for the ongoing 3 month plan, it will renew on the same day you signed up + 90 days. (There is a coupon code on our homepage that you can use on the ongoing plans.) If you are wanting a plan that does not renew, then I would suggest going with the “Gift” option. It is a one time purchase that does not renew at the end of the 3 month period.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

That does! Thank you!

I can understand not wanting to drop the quality of the tea. I haven’t gotten my first month just yet, but from the samples I’ve had, it’s really good! I don’t mind paying for something nice.
