Additional notes: Sipped this one down. Really it was missing the AMAZING bright lemon it originally had… and mostly reminded me of an Earl grey with lavender in the end… So if the sample faded, I’m not sure how quick I would be to restock. Maybe if it were ever on SALE….
2020 Sipdowns: 59
SO B&B’s sale started last night. As usual, I get like a kid on Christmas morning and can’t wait to see the deals and in the bright eyed haze, completely forget that their website is a pain during the sale every single time. This time the pain started minute one of the hour long pre-presale link. It took 55 minutes to check out, RIGHT before the hour pre-presale was almost done. This morning at 10am, most everything in the sale is gone except for the 10-20% off items or things that aren’t actually tea like the little teapots. I managed to grab a handful of things last night. Possibly they will keep adding things to the site again, as the sale is supposed to last a few days. They had some cheap teas that were retiring, I bought Lime Cola which I loved, and Beet It which was great as a fruit tea when I tried the sample before. Also: Rainbow Chai, Fruit Pie Chai, The Night Before Christmas, and Yule Log. I was really hoping to at least see Figgy Pud and Salted Caramel Lebkuchen, but they didn’t. It was mainly Christmas teas from 2019… so they didn’t really bring too many OLDER teas back. I really wish B&B would learn supply and demand already! And why only have the sale on the limited teas? I would love sales on their tea wall. But I’m a B&B addict and can’t help supporting them a LITTLE bit, at least during the sales (if the darn checkout lets me anyway). I still have a buyban on, but I didn’t really get myself anything for my long ago Bday this year… I’ll just have to aim for six sipdowns this week. And I’ve really been enjoying revisiting some B&B teas lately!

Yeah I woke up at 2 AM for the sale, but went back to bed after 35 minutes of trouble. Got up normally at 8, and was able to make my order with no problems. There wasn’t really anything I was pumped about either, so it was a very small order.
Yeah, and the FREE SHIPPING doesn’t hurt. :D Or B&B should just have sales all the time.
I woke up at 1am to try to place an order, tried for 80 minutes, and the 1 item I really wanted sold out. I was so disappointed.
sorry Amanda. What was the one item you really wanted?
That’s okay! I really didn’t need anything, but frustrating nonetheless. I was trying for the sticky chai trio.
Yeah, I ALMOST bought the sticky chai trio but didn’t. I would have split some with you, if I did! Sometimes they restock things. I will let you know if I see it again.
Appreciate that, thank you!
Yeah, I didn’t pull the trigger, luckily for my wallet, unlucky for tea-lover.
But I still have plenty to drink (and I have ordered some from Canada with free shipping too)
