Win a free Steepster Select tea box for September!

It would be great to see a box with tea from some of the lesser-known tea-producing regions of the world. I realize this is kind of subjective…but I mean mostly nothing from China, Japan, India, Taiwan, etc.

Flavors of the four seasons… surprise fourth tea?

I’d like to see teas to tease your tastebuds.

Somewhere between the play on words and the alliteration, I think it would be fun. :)

I think a fall flavor select box would be great especially with fall just around the corner. Teas that smell like cooking with spices.

Oooh… That’s difficult. “Autumn bouquet” immediately came to mind, since there are so many great teas made with flowers. But since, afaik, you can’t pick ‘n’ choose which boxes you receive once you subscribe, I reckon you’d want to include teas with broad appeal; there are probably too many folks who don’t like floral teas.

So instead I’ll submit “Sugar, Spice and All Things Nice.”

Ricky and C-chan, I like your submissions, too!

I like the seasonal choices and the outer space idea as well. Maybe a tea for each planet? Of course it would be a multiple edition series.

Strong teas – teas with lots of kick. mostly black with deep flavor and dark color. Like a Lapsang Souchong for example.

Mix Teas – 3 different teas that can be mixed together based on some recipes in the box. Examples would be like a English breakfast tea: Keemun, Cylon, and Darjeeling where you could take the recipe and make a cup and then customize it to your tastes.

Best on for last, Earl Gray Month! – A white, black, and a pu erh earl gray for kicks. Dont know if there is a pu erh earl gray but something off the wall and unique for the last one. And please no creamy earl gray stuff.

Let me start by saying I am not sure the feasibility of these two ideas, but you guys said be creative.

First idea: A set of teas that develop and change as they are re-steeped. I have noticed this with some of the Pu-erhs that I have, but I imagine there are other teas with this quality.

Second idea: Leaves from the same region or even plantation that are made into three different styles of tea. For example, the same leaves from a harvest are made into a white, green, and black tea. Or something similar to this. That way you could see how the curing process really changes the natural character of that region’s leaf.

What kinds of tea are typically ready in September? I know I am usually looking forward to the restocking of Chinese black teas about this time of the year. What about a season’s pick…more in relation to the seasons of tea than the actual seasons of Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Maybe call it a Fresh Picks or Fresh from the Farm?

For September, how about Harvest Teas as a theme. Teas that make you reminisce about the beginning of autumn when you were young. Teas that make you feel good or include spices/ingredients from fall favorites.
