Dear Steepster Friends and Supporters,
As the holidays draw near, we have much to be thankful for. Support from friends like you has allowed us to grow, and in turn to support the incredible farmers we work with.

We always love to highlight the latest and greatest harvests over Black Friday weekend, but this year we want our deals to be as exciting as the growth you have supported us through.

Happy holidays, and sincere thanks

So I feel kinda dumb, but I can’t find the sample packs from the Tea Adventure thing anywhere. Is it not up on the site yet or am I just totally blind? Lol
Not at all!
To get to the sample pack that’s right for you, start here:
http://verdanttea.com/choose-your-own-tea-adventure/
and choose “Take the quiz!”

Answer each question, and you’ll soon get a recommendation for your sample pack with a special coupon for 15% off. Just click on the name of the sample pack OR the picture, and you’ll be taken right to the product page!

Hope everyone’s ready for a nice day of eating and relaxation tomorrow! To everyone traveling tomorrow, I wish you best of luck and safe + happy trails.

Just had a great question in another thread: all Black Friday Weekend online deals at Verdant Tea begin at midnight Central Standard Time (CST).
Just wanted to update everybody on the status of our Black Friday Sales.
So far, the Terroir Gift Sets have been really popular! They are going fast this morning… as of moments ago, there were just FOUR Laoshan Village Terroir Gift Sets.
Other big sellers since their midnight premiere: Golden Fleece, Laoshan Roasted Oolong, and Master Zhang’s 10 yr Aged Tieguanyin! Hopefully we’ll have enough to last all the way through the weekend. I’ll be sure to update here as soon as stock starts to get dangerously low.
By popular demand, we’re also working on getting our holiday blends up this afternoon. Confirmed blends so far: Yu Lu Yan Chai and Elderyberry Herbal from last month’s blend box, winter 8 Treasures Yabao – and we’re perfecting the reblend of Sichuan Spice with Master Han’s 2004 Loose Leaf Shu!
I’ll be working on all of those throughout the day, so if anyone wants to petition for another blend to come back, let me know and we’ll see what we can do! :)
How about the Campfire Blend? I’ve been wanting to try it and can’t find it on the site.
i really liked campfire blend as well
I never got to try Zhu rong chai, but i’ve heard it was stupidly delicious…so that would get my vote since i also LOVE zhu rong.
Campfire Blend is a go! Working on getting that page up, too. We made Campfire Blend available at the teahouse for a short time, and it was quite a hit. Thanks so much for the feedback everybody :)
I’ll find out if we have the stock to do Zhu Rong Chai again. In the meantime, I would definitely recommend the Yu Lu Yan Chai – it’s blended with a similar philosophy as the Zhu Rong (more robust, savory, deep with the feeling of a campfire or winter evening).
Sure thing! Just e-mail us at [email protected] once you make your next order and we will get it all taken care of (and refund any additional shipping that might pop up automatically).
Thank you so much for your support and your orders this weekend – we really appreciate it!
Lily – oh i love the Yu Lu Yan CHai…i can jsut never have enough of verdant’s chai blends it seems…they’re always a hit with me.
Oh my goodness!!! All my favorite blends are going to be up! I am so excited, order is coming your way as soon as they are available :D and everyone, Yu Lu Yan Chai is AMAZING. So good. My favorite chai!
Update for everyone — the new holiday blends are LIVE and available right now! :D
You can find all the new blends through the link below; the six new teas are right at the top:
http://verdanttea.com/shop/blends/
Your Blend Club Favorites:
Campfire Blend
Elderberry Herbal
Yu Lu Yan Cha
Winter Classics (return!):
Eight Treasures Yabao Winter Blend
Chrysanthemum Pu’er
Sichuan Caravan
Thank you all so much for your great feedback (and your patience!) It’s been so much fun to send out new blends every month and hear back about everyone’s favorites. We couldn’t do it without you, so THANK you for all of your fantastic support and enthusiasm for our blend project.
Small Business Saturday Update! We poured over our shipping costs last night, and we realized we finally have the power to SHIP tea boards, which means: we can now share our tea trays with our online customers!
http://verdanttea.com/teas/large-wooden-panel-tea-board/
Take a look – currently, we have 6 available. We use these at the tea house for all of our gong fu service, and love them. I’m so excited to finally be able to share these with our friends and customers outside of the Twin Cities! Also: if these prove popular, it will give us the perfect excuse to bring in more boards in different designs.
All fixed! :D Thanks Dinosara. Take a look now – everything is up and available. That’ll teach me to do too many things at the same time :)
Will there be any additional puerh teas made available on Cyber Monday? Last year there were different cakes and bricks offered specifically during that time. Just curious. Very excited to see what you guys will be offering!
Yes! At midnight tonight, we’ll be premiering the new pu’er line up including new pu’ers from Master Han and crowd favorites we were able to get back in stock in time for the holidays! You can check out the entire collection ahead of time just by visiting here:

Hi everyone – just wanted to give you an update on Pu’er Monday!
The 2012 Sheng Pu’er was SOLD OUT in about an hour last night.
However, I realized we had two more full bricks at the Tea House which I’ve just pulled back for all of you :D

2 full bricks available, while supplies last
http://verdanttea.com/teas/master-han-2012-sheng-puer/
Master Han’s 2013 Sheng Pu’er has also been selling light hot cakes!
As of right now, we have 6 full bricks left out of the original 22
Master Han’s 2004 Shu Pu’er has been extremely popular: right now, we have less than 10lbs left out of the original 20, with some held back for our new Sichuan Caravan and Chrysanthemum Pu’er Blends.
I’ll keep you up to date on the status of Qianjiazhai Sheng and Master Han’s 2002 Shu. Luckily, we recounted the 2002 Shu this morning and realized we have 15 more bricks we can share online :)
Today is also the last chance to take advantage of our Reserve Collection at 25% off. Several of our reserve black teas have less than 5oz left, so if you wanted to restock on a Club Favorite or try something new at a discount, now is your chance!

In other news, we are packing like mad men over here. Your support and enthusiasm for our projects and our friends’ autumn harvests has been amazing! XD I can’t wait to share your favorites with Mr. He, Master Zhang and Master Han especially – the outpouring of support and excitement should help Mr. He dedicate the time to make another harvest of Laoshan Oolong this Spring, and Master Zhang and Master Han expand their collections with us in the new year.
From all of us, to all of you – thank you!
Oh – scratch that: just 5 full bricks left of Master Han’s 2013 Sheng Pu’er.
We’re calling Master Han tonight to see how quickly we can bring in more :)
