Tealeaves order

Yeah… that’s one of their huge amounts only teas. :)

Hmm…. if I don’t order Lupcia’s mango oolong I will go ahead and help you with getting the pear oolong they have here. I am just trying to get some more coverage of companies and taste in my stash to swap with :)

I can probably come up with some pear oolong to send you to try before you buy.

Do you just have this stuff sitting around :P
That would be sweet, either way I’m still game to helping someone out anyways.

I am out, but I think my mom has some left. So, yeah, I kind of have this stuff sitting around. :)

No biggie, just let me know. Two weeks means another paycheck for me :P
If someone helps me with the Mandarin that’d be sweet, if not I’ll put $25 aside for the pear or hey people reading this for 50g of the pear and 50g for something else if someone splits a tin with me :)

I can’t figure out the bases in the custom blends… what is this one? http://www.tealeaves.com/shop/loose/custom/barbara-barry-orange-grove

Other than that it’s an oolong of some kind, I have no idea.

Mom is out of the pear oolong and I think I shared all of mine already. But… there is mention of splitting some below… :)

Hi Liquid Proust! We’re happy to say that we have a few small tins (50 cup servings) of Mandarin Oolong hidden away. If you’re interested, please do give us a call (+1888 291 8327, Ext. 170) so we can help you with this order!

And to elaborate on the Oolong base of Barbara Barry Orange Grove tea, it is a blend of 3-5 small-batch high-elevation Tung Ting oolongs. They are specifically selected for their complexity and strength in mid-tones to complement the Tahitian Vanilla and Madagascar Orange Peel.

Happy steeping!

I… might be interested in a small tin of Mandarin Oolong, if that’s something people are opting for. Damn me.

I have a couple of times. Their teas are very good in general, though I will admit to preferring their flavored blends over their pure teas. Their free ship threshold is $100, which is about 5 tins. As LP noted, though, they don’t often offer smaller than 100 g amounts.

Hm. I’m always a sucker for trying strawberry greens.

I’d be in for splitting those teas. I’m also liking the sounds of this one. .

I’m not partial to pear but I believe Liquid Proust may have been looking to split that one?

Oh! I missed that! Thanks my dear!

I don’t want to leave Liquid Proust hanging but I don’t think I would go through 200g of the Mandarin Oriental :/. If we can find more interest I am game to try it though!

Don’t even worry about it :)
Just saying… if I don’t get that I may end up with some Mango oolong from Lupicia

I’m 110% okay with just the pear

you might want to try tapping some guys over at teachat – their groupbuy is on hiatus and some may want in on the Mandarin :)

i looked and figured if 13 people split it up for 30g each it will cost $6.

Someone will have to contact them. I’ve probably got $20 in total, I’ll know more this paycheck come Thursday.

When I place the order I will call them and reference this thread.

What’s the day you’re planning to do this so I can let you know.

Since I am calling rather than placing online, I will call them during the day on Monday the 21st.

I’d be willing to split, if people are up for that. 50 cups is about 100g, yes?

Yes, that is what their other teas say, 100 g = 50 cups.

I’ll defer to Liquid Proust and Kayla, since they called first dibs. If they want more than a three-way split, I’ll bow out.

I was just going to put that I defer the others ;).

As long as I get at least 10g of whatever teas you mark me for and I’m under $20 (for now) anything is fine with me; even throwing me onto other teas just to reduce your cost

Then I’m good for a third of the Mandarin Oolong. Thanks for letting me piggyback, guys! And to Nicole for coordinating an awesome order once again.

Edited to add: Actually, I wouldn’t mind some of the Pear Oolong, either. But again, that’s only if people don’t mind sharing. The tin I nabbed from Nicole a while back is nearly depleted.

Aw… I hope you get things sorted. I have had to replace everything twice in the last year so I know how much it sucks. :(

If no one else goes in on the EG collection, you could get 25 g of each without the tins for $24 :)

Thanks, but it will be a xmas present for a friend. I want it to look pretty, hahah.

Ah, gotcha. So you’d be okay with not giving them full tins but you’d want the tins with your share of the tea, right?

why wont the tins be full?

Because if you are only dedicating 30 to the set, that leaves 50 to be paid for. Unless 30 was a mistype.

it’s 26.95

I must have rounded up

Doh. I was looking at another set. It was 3 full 100 g tins for $80. Got it. :) Sorry for the confusion.

hahah, that’s okay :)

Did the Mandarin work out?

Yes!

Thanks for letting us know! We really appreciate it being made available in smaller amounts.
