TeaVivre' 3rd Anniversary Sale Tread

202 Replies

Round 2 of the sale (Black and Oolong) is starting in 10 minutes! :)

yyz said

Do you know what you want?

I definitely need the Tan Yang! Not sure what else, I think I’ll spend $30 for the free shipping. :)

yyz said

I bought during the whites and greens. I probably shouldn’t even look considering how much tea I have but I might add to it.

I suggest Golden Monkey.

Bailin is good too. And black dragon pearls. Mmm…

I still have sizable samples of their Golden Monkey and Bailin. :)

Perhaps a Keemun?

I envy those who still have gift cards.

I saved my $10 card for the sale. :)

yyz said

I used mine for it too. Just a caveat they take off the gift card before they calculate shipping so you need to plamn a 40$ purchase to get there.

I never was able to get a $10, wah.

yyz said

I was really lucky. I got one the first day when I random
Y decided to check my computer while taking a break from a movie we were watching.

yyz, I was able to use my gift card and rewards points and still get the free shipping. The gift card applies differently than a coupon code. So I spent $17 and still got free shipping. :)

I made my own sampler and just paid for shipping. My box should be here either tomorrow or Monday. And I also ended up with some Anniversary pu-erh.

yyz said

Nice. I was a little surprised how it worked for me, because I thought the GC would be treated like cash. It didn’t make that much of a difference to me though I only had to purchase a 1.50 fruit tea sample to bring me back to 30. Enjoy your teas

Eh…my coupon code isn’t working, has anyone else had issues with that?

yyz said

Is this the 10$ one. Make sure you put it in the GC section. If not contact them. They’ll contact you really quickly.

Ost said

It let me purchase a 10$ gift card but never got the code. I still have the 6 dollar gift card though and had to ask for the code on that. But code doesn’t work xD I shot them an email though. Hope they get it…

yyz said

The six dollar codes expired on the 26 the I think. If you didn’t receive your 10 dollar code that’s a different story . check in your account info. The transaction should be there. Give them the order number and they will likely send you the code.

Ost said

Really? Because I had asked before and they said it is good till the 8th…weird. Maybe they changed. Oh well. Maybe I just won’t buy anything xD

yyz said

I hope I was wrong. For some reason when I tried to use mine after that date it said it was expired but now it works. Hope you were able to make your order.

TeaVivre said

Sorry to hear that from you guys. Maybe you fill the code in the wrong place. Or if you still can not use your coupon code, can you please send us an email to our customer service [email protected] ? It is better to give us a screen shot shows where you have filled the code.
We will try to solve your problem.

I scored some of my beloved Bailin AND thanks to Dexter, I went ahead and got the little yixing that’s on sale because she was kind and generous enough to share a gift card with me, I got an additional $6 off.

Thanks Dexter and Teavivre

Resistance is futile! After a very busy week I managed to check Steepster on the day of the black tea sales. I knew it was a sign. For $37, I picked up refills of four favourite black teas. At the sale prices, they cost even less than my first order with Teavivre three years ago. I have noticed an increase in the price every year by $1 or 2 per tea, but the quality is great, the customer service is awesome and they are so generous with samples and contests that I can appreciate the need to raise the prices a bit. Now to sit back and wait for the slow boat from China. :)

Putting my order together, which oolongs should I get – please keep in mind I don’t like oolongs that taste “green” – I like things like oriental beauty (or Green Terrace’s Eastern Beauty). Maybe Guang Dong and Big Red Robe?

Took the plunge, I stayed away from BRR because of “smoke” in the reviews. Here’s what I got:

Bailin Gongfu Black Tea 100g (in tin)
Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea Full-leaf 100g (no tin available – sad face)
Golden Monkey Black Tea 100g (in tin)
Guang Dong Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tea 100g (in tin)

I think I will pick Da Hong Pao. OB is great but it’s out of stock :(

boychik, I was really hoping it would be back in stock for the sale, but no dice. :(

With “Marzi math” I got it all for $10. :)
i.e. $50.40 minus $10 GC and then I had a $30 book sell on my Amazon bookstore overnight.

boychik said

I love Marzi math;)

Oooh you got a Dancong, my fave :)

Think I’ll like it?

Probably! :D I have never had Teavivre’s actually.

Agreed! Resistance is futile!
I ordered:
Golden Monkey Black Tea – 500 g
Premium Keemun Hao Ya – 500 g

vc said

wow that’s a lot of tea!

Uniquity said

Delicious order! I kept to 100 gram quantities so I can order again at the start of next year with no guilt. :)

looseTman said

That’s about a 6 mo. supply. I prefer to stock up during a sale.

I pretty much stalked the website all day, waiting for the black tea sale, and ended up ordering late last night when we got back from the movie. I’m such an addict! Haha!

I ordered.
Bailin Gongfu Black Tea
Superfine Tan Yang Gong Fu Black Tea
Organic Superfine Keemun Fragrant Black Tea
Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea – Golden Tip

And got free samples of:
Superfine Keemun Mao Feng Black Tea
Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea Full-leaf

Can’t wait!!

Oh shoot I forgot to fill out the sample part.

Tealizzy said

Oh no! You should email Angel and see if she can fix it.

Well, strangely enough, there was no record of my order, on their site, in my Paypal, or in my email. So I guess I didn’t finish it. I just ordered it again, got all of the confirmations, and it was even cheaper this time. Plus I got my samples!

Tealizzy said

Weird, but yay! I guess you were so excited you forgot to complete it? Haha!

Thanks to Marzipan and her mention of tins, I ordered 100g in tin of http://www.teavivre.com/keemun-fragrant-black-tea/ and of course http://www.teavivre.com/yunnan-golden-black-tea/ just 50g in tin because I just ordered 100g of thiis 2 weeks ago! Do other websites have sales like this that I should start saving for?

Black Friday/Cyber Monday is prime sale time on dozens of tea sites.

I bought!
Golden Monkey
Superfine Qing Xiang Dong Ding Oolong – for it’s lovely peach/pineapple qualities. I actually thought that one was much more expensive so I had to go for it.

I’m also buying the Fengqing Zhuan Cha Ripened Puerh 2006 in a couple days. I love Teavivre!

ETA: I must mention that the sample of the oolong I tried I acquired from a tea box, so that made a sale right there. :D

yyz said

I selected that oolongvas one of my samples. Sounds nice.

The best oolong is the Iron Goddess TieGuanYin — tastes like an entire garden of flowers! The price is WAY too low for that one.

yyz said

Is it kind of biting? I like the spicy biting floral green Oolong’s over the soft light flavours.

Hmm.. not sure what you mean by spicy or biting but there is a TON of flavor in this one.
