Yunnan Sourcing Monthly Tea Club

It’s definitely tempting, especially since I love their teas. My only issue is that 150-200 grams a month is a lot of tea!

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking! I drink around 300g of tea per month I think. With everything else I’m drinking it would be tough to keep up!

+1 on the monthly bill. If I get a raise this year I will probably spend some on this.

I narrowed it…

+1.

+2 on puerh.

Now we’re talking. I guess my only question would be if I couldn’t get at least 150 g of tea for $35 if I ordered it directly.

You are making this more tempting.

Much better, but I think it might be better to do pu-erh all together instead of adding ripe with the dark tea. And, I’m not sure if this is possible due to shipping, but maybe smaller offerings than 150g. If you get two teas totaling 150g and you don’t love either… well, that’s a lot to have on hand.

Thanks for the feedback. I have alot of customers who drink raw but hate ripe pu-erh and vice versa.

Is 150 grams alot??? ;-) I am really confident that people would absolutely love all the teas… but ya you never know.

I think more important than the actual quantity is to have plenty of variety/samples!

@Marzipan The value of the teas and shipping you would receive would retail for $35 or more. In all cases it would be cheaper than retail.

The idea is, get a good deal and let us introduce some great teas to you. Some people will want to have full control over their selection, so they won’t want to join the club.

I agree with jschergen that variety is good. I’d rather get a smaller sample of 4-6 teas than 2-4 teas every month. While I like all of the variety of teas offered, I’ve got pu-erh subscriptions right now. I’d love to have an oolong subscription, and the Jade Club sounds good to me as well.

On the one hand, I think ripe should be lumped with blacks and roasted oolongs as they share characteristics and tend to appeal to the same people, but on the other hand for newbies to try both ripe and raw at once is a good idea.

I’m not in the market for a subscription but IF I were, I’d like a box of unflavoured teas focusing on blacks and ripe puerh, with the odd addition of something along those types.

Yep that would fill the bill. How about an “option” on the puerh. Maybe ripe one month and raw another? Variety on a monthly basis of these sheng and shou would be nice. Maybe shou in the Winter/Fall months and Sheng in the Spring/Summer to coincide with the tea harvests.

@mrmopar Yup… planning for the Pu-erh Only club to be 35-%40 ripe and 60-65% raw. Mostly ripe in the winter.

You are a good man my friend! I got a cart full now so you will have to work on one for me soon. When you get to my side one day we will share a cup or more.
Btw follow me as I do a bunch of your stuff on here.

@mrmopar well hopefully that will happen. I am spending more time in the USA now… I think it’s likely!

Love the idea of more ripe in the winter, more raw in the summer for the pu-erh club.

I like this better!

I think that’s much better! Definitely interested in the Dark Club with this plan.

Pu heads. Haha.
Pu heads Pu heads Roly poly Pu heads.

I belong to Pu-heads club. Its awesome to have 25g samples. i do spend on YS $70 avg . so it will control my appetite.

My question now is will it be limited to YS puerh or it will include all the factories you carry on .com ?

That Dark Tea Club sounds perfect – I deffo think I could get on board with it :-)

But I’m not a pu head…….

this would be great!

@boychik It will include non YS pu-erhs.

I do like YS cakes but want to try others as well

Pu-Head plan for me. This is a GREAT idea!

It’s all about the customers!!!

I agree! Thanks for listening even though you hadn’t asked, and working to tweak things to meet our wants and wishes. It’s a sign of a good company.

I agree with Dexter.

Hi Dexter,

We offer 25 gram samples for most of the pu-erhs and the more expensive loose teas. I have avoided doing 25 grams for cheaper teas because we don’t have enough labor to deal with doing that. Believe it or not finding good employees here in China is quite difficult. I’ll look to making 50 grams an option for the teas whose lowest option is currently 100 grams.

Thank you – I hadn’t seen any offered at 25g – I must like cheaper tea :)) I’ve really only looked hard at the black teas (maybe I just assumed the rest were the same) – now that I know pu’erh is available in 25g samples will have to spend some time perusing the site and plotting my next order. Thank you so much for clarifying.

Not all the Pu-erhs have 25 gram options… it’s just not possible for us to maintain and organize. Most over $25 a cake do have the option though…

Yeah I know about those 25 grammers. I plan purchases around them so I am grateful for the offering of that size.

I LOVE the 25g samples of the pricier cakes. I get to try a good variety and narrow down the ones I want to invest in long term. Brilliant idea. 25g is perfect too, enough for 3-4 sessions.
