From Yezi Tea:
Thinking about placing an order soon? This week may be the best time! We will be traveling for tea from August 23rd through September 6th. And while the good news is that our voyage means new teas, the not-so-good news is that orders placed while we are away will not be shipped until after September 6th. As a consolation, all orders placed during our travels will qualify for Free Shipping.
so I assume that the free shipping starts on the 23rd then?
this is great so that i don’t feel compelled to hit the thresold for free shipping
Free shipping is not working yet. Watching this like a hawk!
Use “15off” for 15% off your order at www.persimmontreetea.com
This is only valid until Sunday, August 24th!
If anyone orders from YunnanSourcing.com in the US, I would love to tag on to your order some of the Imperial Mojiang Golden Bud Yunnan Black Tea * Spring 2014. It’s the only thing I’d like to buy right now (or can afford), but not pay $8 shipping just for that. Especially if someone else was ordering that, because the more you buy, the bigger the discount. Just an idea!
I think there is a joint YS order coming up soon. I can’t think about it until Monday though, my daughter is in town this weekend.
That’s the one! Donkey asked me to run it.
I definitely want to be in on a YunnanSourcing joint order, even if it is just for 50g or 100g of the Imperial Mojiang Golden Bud Yunnan Black Tea * Spring 2014! Marzipan did an awesome job with the 52Teas mystery bags we split. I might be interested in other teas people want to split, but everything looks good on the site so I don’t even want to look or would even know how to choose. :D I hope they don’t run out of that tea though.
I’ll post something early in the week. I don’t know which of their sites is better to order from so any advice there? I’ll be scarce this weekend.
I’m interested in pretty much any Yunnan so if anyone wants to split I’d be happy to.
Marzipan, the .com site has a much bigger selection.
I just saw on reddit that there is 15% off everything on yunnansourcing.us with code 15OFF though….
With the .us site it seems like shipping is $7 rather than $8 BUT they don’t have the nice discounts if you order a lot of tea. Like, the only option for amounts is 50grams. So if you add two to the cart for 100 grams you don’t get a $2 discount for ordering 100 grams on the .com site.
Yaaaahoooooooiiiiieeeeee! Looks like this one is a go!! Thank you Marzipan for manning the helm! Now I have to go creep their site…..
I won’t be able to do this until after the weekend (after the sale). If anyone wants to do it before please go ahead, it won’t hurt my feelings. Just too busy with my daughter in town.
Im sorry but I will not participate this time. I’m in Philly on family vacation. Also I would get some purple tea of Dehong but I doubt anyone would share my interest.
This sale is tempting and they improved the CDN shipping from the last time I looked at the site, but there is a lot more choice on the .com site and I really don’t need more tea;). I’ll probably wait until they have a site wide site on the .com site.
Boychik – I wouldn’t mind buying a bit of the Dehong – like 25 grams of it if no one else was interested? I’m not sure how often YS has sales.
Boychik – the non light roast purple gets an 85 rating on Steepster, so I’d rather try the non-light. But I could go for 25 grams of the Feng Qing Ye Sheng Hong Cha Wild Tree Purple Black tea * Spring 2014 if no one else wants to split it with you. If we order the Imperial Mojiang Golden Bud Yunnan Black Tea * Spring 2014 and someone wants 25 grams of 100 grams (so I get 75 grams) I’d be happy with that. It’s a really nice tea. I think whenever Marzipan is ready, we should get a Steepster message going with everyone interested, so the forums don’t get overrun. :D
I have non-light version. It’s waiting for me in Brooklyn unopened, bought it like 3wks ago. So if you split with me Feng Qing Ye Sheng would be great.
I have Imperial Mojiang as well.
Anyway, message me when you are ready. I’m gonna follow you now;)
Boychik – were you ordering then? The 15% off code expires on Sunday at midnight pacific or a bigger order could be planned out without the coupon when everyone is ready. The shipping is a flat $7 for anything if a bunch of people ordered.
Yes. Lets do group messaging otherwise we are spamming the thread
I’m looking at YS’s twitter and it looks like they rarely have sales and it usually isn’t as high as 15% and it rarely is for everything on the site. I’m not sure if boychik was offering to organize this, but if anyone else thinks they can figure out what they want quick, send a message to boychik. I’m probably good with just these:
25 grams of the Feng Qing Ye Sheng Hong Cha Wild Tree Purple Black tea * Spring 2014
100 grams Imperial Mojiang Golden Bud Yunnan Black Tea * Spring 2014 (unless someone wants to buy 25 grams)
Yeah, sorry about the spamming! Just wanted to put the word out to anyone interested!
I think I’ll just wait for Marzipan to be ready. 15% off isn’t much, and the teas are more expensive on the .us site anyway. Shipping costs won’t really be as much of an issue if we’re doing a joint order.
Nevermind, don’t send a message to boychik. Not organizing! :D
I forgot to mention, Boychik ordered some of the Mojiang for me during the sale, so to whomever is organizing a group order, I’m all set.
Yunnan Sourcing is doing 12% off of black, white, green, and oolong teas on the .com site starting tonight and ending on the 31st at noon Eastern time. :D
Is the group order still happening? If not I’m planning on placing an order (.com site) anyway, so if anyone wants to go in together to split shipping let me know.
I want some YS stuff soon too, but I can’t place my order till next month probably.
I can put one together, I’ll post by tomorrow.
Did you ever get your inbox working, Marz? :(

Oh neat, what an interesting concept for tea!
I’ve been interested in these teas for a while, but I wish they offered a sampler… :P
I ordered some, I’d be happy to give you a taste. Pu-erh Cabernet, Black Tea Merlot, White Tea Riesling, and Bourbon Chai.
Sure, we can set up a swap or something. PM me. :D
Oh I tried the Oolong Chardonnay a few weeks ago and it was very impressive!
I kind of wish I got that one too.
how interesting. I’ll have to think about those. I bet the Bourbon Chai will be great
