Oh yeah, did I mention? I updated the inventory and there are several teas that were out of stock that really weren’t. The website inventory is updated now. =)

wow, this is the third tempting blend you have released.

Only the third? Out of over 260?

I have not looked in depth at all your blends, but of the ones I have considered, yes. Then again, I have never been one for most modern flavored tea.

I can appreciate that. Our teas are not for everyone. I was just teasing you really.

ah, I missed some of that. the genmai chai walks that line of teasing ultra traditional teas, and I can appreciate that :) both are staples for me, so this has me very curious!

I don’t want to be a party pooper, but the new website is too basic-looking, yet confusing to browse. I don’t like how it popped open into a NEW website when I clicked 52Teas.com in stock link… I think a lot of new visitors might get confused… From there, it’s actually quite confusing and looks a bit spammy/amateurish to me. It’s not clear that there is a new tea each week, but also that teas might get reblended.

But I also am under caffeinated after a long week so maybe I’m just grouchy and like glitter and flashing colors….

Also, where’s all the fun info about each tea as it gets released? All I get is a bigger picture, but no information about the tea background. I love the blurbs that you write!

EDIT: maybe just this week’s is missing?

I actually haven’t figured out how to get to my cart wihtout actually clicking on so i had to add a tea i didn’t want to get it to open..then just removed it once i was in my bag.

I’m confused… why did you want to get to your cart with nothing in it?

Sil select said

Lol frank. I mean after I add a couple teas and go back to browsing…f I decide I don’t want anything else. I can’t find the cart again. I’m probably just overlooking something

I think I know what Sil is asking, I had the same confusion… If you back out of your cart after adding something to it (you know, to browse for more stuffs you might want), it can be puzzling trying to figure out how to get back to your cart without adding something else! Almost nothing on the “cart” tab is clickable.

Sil, don’t click on the “# Item(s) in your bag” text or the total price…click on the little shopping cart in front of the text. That will take you to your cart, it’s the only part of that “tab” image which is actually a link to the shopping cart.

Sil select said

I’ll have to check when i get home and use another computer. I don’t even see that text daniel lol I have no shopping cart icon or anything. I’m wondering if it’s the crap browser here at work so I’ll re-check this when i get home.

Kittenna said

Yeah Sil, it’s the teensy tiny shopping cart icon, about 2mm diameter, that’s in front of “x items in your shopping cart” or whatever, that takes you there.

Frank – I’m suspecting/hoping that the entire line of shopping cart text can be made clickable to take you to the shopping cart? I got pretty frustrated yesterday trying to make a pretend order :( I so want the latest three teas but can’t afford shipping (nor adding 6oz to my cupboard)

Okay, thanks. I just modified the code a bit so now the tiny cart icon AND the text “[X] ITEMS IN YOUR BAG / TOTAL: $[X]” are hyperlinked to the cart page. Thanks for the heads up.

Kittenna said

Fabulous. That is 100x better!

I’m always so proud of myself when I can do little things like that. LOL.

Sil select said

Kittenna – no i understand what you guys are talking about in theory. In my work browser there is no such text anywhere. Nowhere does it say “items in your bag.” Hence the reason I’ll look at this again when i get home, but clearly there are compatability issues with my work browser. I’m putting money on going home, doing the same thing and instantly seeing you have X items in your cart :)

EDIT: Yep…as i suspected browser issues in which the tab doesn’t exist. At home everything is aaaallll better :)

Is your email service tied to your website functioning? I sent an email a couple days ago about an order I just received. I’m guessing you may be neck deep in all the site work and haven’t had a chance to catch up with emails, but thought there was also a chance your email could be effected by the site changes too.

Which tea or teas would be included in the monthly subscriptions? Thanks.

I think that the chocolate malt is included with the monthly subscription … and I just ordered some of the cranberry Oolong, so I’ll share some of that with you too. :)

T.C. said

That cranberry oolong is sitting in my cart just waiting for me to hit enter sigh.

I now know what addiction feels like. Not sure I enjoy it :(

Azzrian said

Thank you LiberTeas! I will email you.

@T.C. Just wait till you are trying to budget for both restocking staples AND new sample orders,(on a very limited income) or you fall hard for a tea that you discover has been discontinued…

yssah said

@Azz: sorry for messing with your comment but it’s a fun topic, cant help it ^^

@TC: hmmmmm, you sound so serious! you burned out already? i told you to pace yourself haha, there’s a lot more joy in store :D

@Kasumi-sensei: oh wow, i have yet to experience those! but i know what you mean about limited budgets

Dammit. I just MADE an order, and was so pleased with myself for sticking to what I originally intended to buy. Cranberry Ti Kwan Yin. I hate you, Frank.

Claire said

Hah, I just thought the same thing! I just got at least a couple months worth of tea and then I saw this and thought…cranberry ti kwan yin…

yssah said

haha, funny how the most popular tea companies get a lot of love-hate comments on steepster

Oh no. I love love love cranberry teas. Ah!!

damn you frank! damn you!

ummmm… you’re welcome?

Sil select said

haha i love me some raspberries! and black teas! and cream! gah! that makes this the 3rd? 4th? order in the past few weeks from you!

Kittenna said

At least you are ordering for two. Kind of more than two. :P (That makes it sound like I’m implying you’re pregnant, hahahaha.)

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to try a 52teas blend more!! (besides the marshmallow and graveyard mist of course)
