Free Tea for Your Feedback!

Overall, I really enjoyed your site and have bookmarked it for future reference. Here are my initial impressions:

*The pictures are beautiful and I appreciate that you include both the dry leaf and the brewed liquid.
*I think that the information provided about the tea origins, tasting notes, and steeping parameters is very useful and easy to understand.
*I would like to see the flat rate shipping of $5.00 referred to on the front page of the website. I’m more likely to continue to look at a site if I know upfront that shipping wouldn’t be outrageous.
*It would be useful to have a link or reference to the areas that you are able to ship to on the front page.
*Since I am a black tea lover, I would love to see a selection of black teas included on your website.

I would also be interested in seeing a larger selection of herbal/caffeine-free teas.
*I realize you are just starting out, but I think that the inclusion of Japanese greens would lead to a more balanced selection.
*It would be nice to notate which oolongs are more oxidized (darker), I do not really care for greener oolongs and pictures can be deceiving when you are trying to decide.
*My initial impression of the price and sizes of your teas is that the prices are higher than I would normally buy, unless I knew for sure that I would really enjoy the tea. Perhaps a few sampler options would help to expose more people to your tea – and convince them that the price is more than worth it.
*The site was easy to navigate and I think that the basic design has great colors and clean lines.

Hey mrawlins2,
Thank you giving us your feedback. It seems like the shipping policy is a concern to many of you so I think this is definitely something that needs to be addressed. I also like the fact that you gave us your opinion about our prices. We will certainly consider re-evaluating our prices and look into offering sample sizes.

Thanks!
