this was my first cup this morning because charlottezero is awesome and will be sending me some more so i treated myself to a cup with breakfast before heading out to the spa for my massage. I can claim like 90% back through work so there’s no reason for me to not take advantage more often! I still love this one as a chocolate tea that isn’t trying to be all sweet and crap :)

spa and massage…I’m jealous !
Enjoy!
it was fantastic… now i’m home and getting ready to go spend the afternoon/evening playing board games with friends and getting to see their little one again :)
Ooh, a great day from start to finish! :)
yep! sa, massage, baby, board games, friends.. and next weekend.. i get to do most of it all over again haha
I wish they were easier to buy tea from in canada!
i know :( I think maybe i’ll bite the bullet with customs etc and just make an order in July as a birthday treat…maybe
hope you had a great massage!
How much is shipping? Must be lots eh
when i was playing with it, it was averaging out to adding an extra 1-2 euros on to each bag that i was planning on picking up…so not over the top ridiculous.. but by the time july rolls around i may want more lol
Yeah that’s not totally horrible
But I guess that’s 1.5 times Canadian $, right?
It was working out to about 15-17 CAD per 100g though the exchange was a little better when I was doing it too…so there’s that.
Yikes.
15-17 isn’t too bad for fancy french tea? I think you can walk into DAVIDsTEA and buy 100g of their tea for $15… (Just for added perspective)
So basically over $40 for shipping alone, that’s mental.
And 100g is a massive amount to take a risk on!
I guess splitting it with someone would make it doable.
Sorry, I should have done that in grams. From what I can see, the shipping rates to Canada/US are as follows (in euros):
100g = 23.50
200g = 25
300g = 23.20
400-700g = 28.5
800-1100g = 31.20
1200-1500g = 33.10
This is based on the teas in tins (specifically heritage gourmand). It’s a little bit cheaper if you go the bagged route, but not much. The black tins were a little more, I’m assuming because they also come in a gift case as well.
heritage gourmand are seriously expensive teas. 25 euro a pop…whereas the bags are as low as 4 euro. I have no need of tins – 2-3 euro for a tin is a lot, i’d rather just pay that on shipping. As cavo pointed out – it’s compareable to the prices we can pay here for 100g in some places. Also, it wouldn’t be a hgh risk for me, as i’ve tried a lot of the teas i’d be getting through swaps :)
I guess I haven’t tried enough to commit to 100g…I never buy that much of Davidsteas either!!
