CommuniTea Club - Tie Guan Yin Group Buy
Hi Guys, it’s Sasha from the “CommuniTea Club”:https://www.eastcottandburgess.co.uk/product-page/tie-guan-yin-sourcing-pack/ . Hope you are having an amazing weekend!
I have some good news! Our Tie Guan Yin group buy is now 9 people strong! This may not seem like much, but for a company our size, every person is a milestone! I’m incredibly grateful to everyone that has already signed up!
However, we are still 11 people short, and can’t get things rolling without your help! I received a lot of interest, but few people have actually gone through the motions of signing up. We need at least 20 people to make this happen.
If you love Tie Guan Yin, and haven’t signed up already, please take a moment to back the group buy! We can’t do this without you!

Why are we doing this?
I’m trying to create the first (I think) completely community selected tea collection, which should work in your interest. I figured that Tie Guan Yin, as one of the most staple teas in any collection, would be a good place to start.
Tie Guan Yin Group Buy
5 Tie Guan Yin producers from Anxi County (China) will send you at least 23g of their best Tie Guan Yin (that’s at least 115g of Iron Goddess in total). You can then vote on your favourite (they will be labelled A, B, C, D, & E) in a very short email form. We will then send you your personal ‘CommuniTea ID’ (a store discount code) which will allow you to repurchase the winning tea whenever you want (and as many times as you want) at the producer’s price (i.e. without a mark-up)! This is our way of saying thank you for your vote.
As we expand our collection, we should create an increasingly reliable source to buy your tea from, whether you are one of the original supporters who can use your communitea code or a regular tea lover
Cost – The total cost per head (cost of 115g of Tie Guan Yin and shipping) is now 25.8 GBP/ 36 USD/ 45 CAD.
Breakdown – The total cost of the Tie Guan Yin is approximately 20 GBP/ 28 USD/ 35 CAD per head. Shipping will cost 5.80 GBP/ 8 USD/ 10 CAD.
Please Sign Up
We have tried to give you guys as much value as possible, but we still need your help to get this off the ground! So please, “sign up”: https://www.paypal.me/communiteaclub/25.8/ if you love Tie Guan Yin and send me a message with any questions so that I can start getting an FAQ going!
Thanks again,
Sasha.
Sounds like an interesting deal. Are you talking about green or roasted TGY?
Great to hear from you :) We are starting off with green Qing Xiang Tie Guan Yin. This is the most common and most popular green Tie Guan Yin. It’s got a much brighter/ lively profile than the alternative Nong Xiang Tie Guan Yin, which is often referred to as traditional Tie Guan Yin.
Hopefully in the future we will be able to organise a similar group buy for roasted TGY and Lao TGY (aged for over 5 years), if we get enough interest.
I should probably also say, that if you like the idea, but are not super keen on TGY, then please sign up to the mailing list on our website, and at least then I will be able to gauge interest levels and keep you updated about upcoming group buys.
