Good until August 10th at 11 PM China time (I believe this is 11 AM Eastern).
There’s a bunch of new stuff added to David’s Tea’s web specials. I want an octopus glass mug, but must resist….
Ohhh! I hope there’s still stuff left when I get home from work. Mobile shopping is no go for me
You have no idea how fast I got out of bed when I saw the new clearance. Best alarm clock ever!
Oh man. I so want one of those carry mugs…but I hardly use the regular timolino I have. >>
15% off teas that are not already in the sale category at americantearoom.com through August 8, use code SIPSUMMER.
One of the aliexpress sellers I have bought from is offering 1.99 samples on some of his available teas. There are some nice teas there including golden needles and a pretty nice biluochun black tea.

I’ve bought several times from this seller. My only caveat is if there is any confusion in the description contact him. He is willing to chat. His English is not perfect but is good enough if you are patient. He will probably have good sales on August 19 the as he tends to participate in aliexpress site wide sales.
This looks interesting! I may have to order a couple of those lovely-looking Dianhongs. :)
Do you have any experience with their Jin Jun Mei? They appear to have three different types.
It looks like he added some more dianhongs last night. I don’t have any experience with the jinjunmei he’s offering as samples, it looks like there is four of them ( one of the Fujian teas is one as well). I did have one of his cheaper jinjunmei’s last year that was heavily roasted. It is easy to drink but nothing spectacular. He has had good reviews on some of his higher grades though. If your looking for a certain flavour profile you can ask hi!m but be aware that chocolate seems to be rarely used and poorly understood by many of these dealers as a descriptor in tea.
I’m tempted to try this dian Hong at some point because I am curious about what in this flavour profile had the purchaser looking for it for a year.
I love the biluo red tea ( it’s best as a gongfu tea) and I purchased some of my favourite greens from him.
Yeah, I’m thinking I’ll probably purchase all of the Dianhongs, might as well for $2 a piece. Honestly even if I purchase all of the Jinjunmei too, it’s still under $20. :P

His prices tend to be very good and last order he further discounted my order by almost 10.00 when I bought two teas together.
Do you see any difference between these two…?

They both say they’re orchid fragrance jin jun mei… :P
The leaf is different one is more tippy and more loosely wound whereas the other seems tighter.
Got all of the Dianhongs and 3 different Jin Jun Meis for under $16. Thanks for the heads up! :D
I’m sure I will! The only one I might not enjoy is the orchid fragrance, but I figure if I don’t like it, someone around here will give it a good home. :)
Free shipping on all US orders at www.whisperingpinestea.com
Originally limited time only, but I might make free US shipping a permanent policy :)
Free shipping will definitely make me place my first order a lot sooner than I would have! I am working on my order list :)
I really appreciate you guys letting me try some WP teas in our swaps. I really like the whole “try before you buy” deal ;)
Right now Golden Orchid is on the top of my order list. I’m interested in trying the Snaily Yums before I order, and also the Cocoa Amore!!!
I have Cocoa Amore coming, I can save some for you. I would like to try both Manistee Moonrise and S’mores now that they aren’t smoky, but I didn’t order them yet.

*ignore the bottom one on thlist it came up on the search, though it might be interesting to try a Darjeeling with Keemun characteristics.
Bonavita 1-Liter Variable Temperature Digital Electric Gooseneck Kettle List: $104.99 http://www.bonavitaworld.com/products/kettle5.asp
Sale: $59.99* with free shipping – Pavilion Electronics through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bonavita-Variable-Temperature-Electric-Gooseneck/dp/B005YR0F40%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q%26tag%3Dduckduckgo-d-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB005YR0F40
*This price was offered on 8/10 & 8/11. Shortly after my purchase, the price increased to $94.95. It appears their pricing strategy is to frequently raise & lower the price. If interested, watch & wait is recommended.
I got the 1.7 liter model for soooooo much cheaper!
$36.99 – From Bonavita World
http://www.amazon.com/Bonavita-1-7-Liter-Variable-Temperature-Electric/dp/B008YE3RNG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407782285&sr=8-1&keywords=bonavita+1.7
I don’t know about free shipping because I have Prime, and it is Prime eligible.
I absolutely love it, it does everything I needed!
That’s also a very good deal. However, I wanted the controlled pour the gooseneck model provides.
Hm, I get you. I’ve heard someone say that before, so I was pretty nervous when I bought this one. But just in case anybody is interested, I don’t have any problem pouring mine, it is slow and smooth. I will admit that the gooseneck starts at the bottom of the kettle rather than near the top like mine, so you may have to tip it farther. Bonavita makes great kettles!
Since the gooseneck starts at the bottom, there may also be less heatloss. An open spout at the top allows steam to easily escape.
Glad to hear you like your Bonavita!
Stephanie, I thought so too. http://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/bonavita-electric-gooseneck-variable-temperature-kettle has a price match policy that only excludes ebay & Craigslist http://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/price-match/?product_id=2168 and they could not match the Pavilion Electronics Amazon price. The most they were able to offer was 10% off.
