New Steepster Select?
Did anyone else notice the change in the Steepster Select box for June? I received five multi-serving pouches of loose tea as opposed to ten single-serving pouches, and I’m actually rather disappointed by the change. I liked getting two single-serving pouches of each flavor, because then I could try a tea now and save the rest for later when it was more weather/mood appropriate (like when I was tasting summery greens in January, and now I can enjoy them in July). I also appreciated having one less thing to screw up with measurements, as I had a tendency to overheat water and then pour out too much or too little. Does anyone have any thoughts or know why this change was made?
This was brought up in a previous thread (http://steepster.com/discuss/7831-jun-steepster-select-box). Here’s the gist of it:
“The main reason we did this was that we heard back from subscribers who were having trouble customizing the amount of tea they used, depending on how they normally drink tea. Some wanted to use less than the 4 grams in a single pouch, some wanted to use more to make a larger pot of tea. Either way, since the pouches were already divided this was difficult. So we decided to put the full 8 grams into a single pouch so people had more flexibility in using the amount of tea they wanted. But if you still want to have the same serving size, you can use 1/2 a pouch.”
Thanks Cameron! I had trouble finding a previous thread when I looked for it. I wish they had asked all of the subscribers for feedback before they had changed it, because now I feel like I have to use the whole sample at once to keep the tea from losing flavor. I still can’t find out where on this damn website I’m supposed to send feedback, and I’m annoyed that I can’t seem to have any input on their program that I’m spending so much money on…
