50% off on artisan Ceylon tea, Chinese tea, and Pu'er mini tuo balls

Hi guys,

We are having a massive site-wide 50% off Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale on our Ceylon and Chinese speciality teas at www.thefinestbrew.com

Also, we will be adding more great tea with huge savings during the weekend, starting with the very rare yabao tea, a Yi Wu Wild Buds Yabao 2009 Pu’er, and few more mini tuo balls, to name a few, starting tomorrow.

That’s not all. Treat yourself to an additional 15% off your basket with “get15off”

The sale will close at midnight (PST) on Monday. Hope this is genuinely helpful for your tea shopping this season! We’ve tried to achieve the lowest prices for these 4 days only. Plus, we are also pretty new to online tea retail so this may serve as a great chance for you to try us out too.

Thank you very much.

PS Feel free to shoot any questions on here :)

UPDATE: Due to the pleasant demand for the Yabao, we decided that we’d offer free Yabao tea in the following fashion,
- Spend $50 or above to receive 50g of Yi Wu Wild Buds Yabao 2009
- Spend $75 or above to receive 100g of the aforementioned
- Spend $100 or above to receive $25 off your next purchase and 100g of Yi Wu Wild Buds Yabao 2009

Now I know this update conflicts with the interests of the beautiful people that already generously purchased from the store. Therefore, please be aware that you will all still qualify should you wish to purchase more that will make your aggregate purchase amount reach up to the above thresholds.

I am interested but the site is currently not giving me free shipping over $35.00.

Hi yyz, very sorry! It should be fixed now, and thank you for letting me know and being patient. Hope you’ve added the promo code too

I placed an order with you and then sent a pm with a few questions. Can you tell us about your yabao tea, I may want to add that to my order to put me over the $35.00! Thanks

Just added a Yabao tea on the 50% off sale.

Hey, thanks for the order (sorry it wouldn’t allow me to reply directly under your post)

We will be adding five kinds of Yabao over the course of next week. But in the meantime, we are offering Yi Wu Wild Buds Yabao 2009 as loose-leaf Pu’er and a delicious Simao Wild Snowy Mountain 2014 Pu’er tomorrow under the sale! So I’d say keep checking back or you can always shoot me a question here

Must say I’m impressed. They have already shipped part of my order.

We try our best, yyz. Just to let you know the rest of your order will be dispatched from Beijing tomorrow morning as we’ve just run out of stock for that particular tea at our San Francisco warehouse. Please allow 6-9 days for it to reach you

Couldn’t help myself, those pu-erh balls were just too cute!

Checkout was easy, and they accept Paypal for those who may be wondering.

Glad to be of service! Was it the display picture that did it?

cookies said

Yes! So cute looking. I’ve never had pu-erh in that style so I’m looking forward to trying them.

We love Pu’er and wanted to sell all types but there a few very good companies that specialise in this area who do a terrific job, but we found out that these lovely mini tuo balls weren’t anywhere to be found except for ones that are blended or scented. And that brings us to now! Just a tip: These little balls will still last up to 15 infusions each, so take your time when they have arrived.

Which of your black teas are rich, smooth, & the most full-bodied? Thanks!

The FBOPF-Extra Special would fit the description well. The taste has notes of cocoa and the fragrance is very malty. My personal favorite. The Orange Pekoe has a satisfying astringency. But I can’t vouch for it to be of your taste unless you like Ceylon tea. Both of these come from one of the best Ceylon tea estates. If not, the Yunnan’s (Jin Ya or Dian Hong) are also full-bodied with a smooth finish and very unlikely to let one down.

looseTman said

Thanks 4 the recommendations! Which of your teas are organic, or have been tested 4 pesticide residue levels?

That would be the two Ceylon’s from New Vithanakande, whom also work with the Rainforest Alliance. And my pleasure!

Wow! That’s a good sale. I’ve never ordered from you before but those are amazing prices. And free shipping to Canada over $35.00? I may have to get something!

Does it still have to be 35.00 after the 15% discount?

Of course, we don’t practice any discrimination! All that applies to the US applies to Canada too and we ship most teas from South San Francisco.

I’m afraid yes, as the free shipping depends on the final discounted amount.

Ubacat said

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered! Looks like some really fabulous teas. I’ve never ordered from you before so thanks for having a great sale so I could try out your teas.

Ubacat said

Darn! I didn’t get any Yabao tea in my order!

Thank you! We are pretty new to the online scene, and hope to continue to serve you all with great deals in the future.

No PayPal option :(

yyz said

Marzipan I paid through PayPal. I think when you go to the payment screen it comes out as an option.

Found it thanks!

yyz said

You’re welcome!

Thanks Marzipan, hope it went smoothly after. And appreciate your help yyz

The biggest issue is that I was trying to order through my phone. :)

So you used our mobile site, that’s great! How would you sum up your experience? Apart from the difficulty spotting PayPal.

Oh no, I went to the sale from the thread on the Yabao, and didn’t realize there was an additional 15% off coupon code. Boo.

Oh sorry Anlina, I will try to include a couple of samples to compensate for that for you. And thanks for ordering with us, you will love the Yabao!

Anlina said

Thank you! I’m really excited to try it.
