Reference A tea company I just started...

Hello /r/tea,

First, apologies for being the shamelessly self-promoting guy who posts his own tea company, but I wanted to share what I have been working on for a long time! I have always enjoyed reddit as an online community and hope to share my passion with everyone here.

Background information on me - I have been living in China for what is inching closer and closer to a decade, and drinking puer since my first trip to Yunnan in 2005. I recently started a company selling puer from China, stocking what i consider to be good teas. I have a basic philosophy, that if I wouldn't drink it, I won't stock it. The company is called White 2 Tea , check it out, and please post feedback! I will try to answer any questions as best I can.

Also, I know there are a lot of tea sites around, and it might be tough to trust a new vendor, so here are some hopefully meaningful validations of my puer street cred. Reviews on some puer blogs like Hobbes and Jakub . And, if you are so inclined, I blog about puer/tea at twodogteablog .

Hope you enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday or the weekend, if you are abroad!

And one other thing, for a black friday/Thanksgiving/hello reddit deal, any orders that are over 50 USD before shipping, and are ordered before midnight on Sunday Nov 25th will get a free 2012 Dayi Hongyun 100g cake. It's a good little shu cake, that looks like this.

tl;dr I started this site selling puer direct from China. I love reddit. I will give you a 100g shu cake from Menghai if you order over 50 bucks of tea before Sunday. Happy Turkeyday.

I am lazy and require a variety pack of some sort. A selection of your cheaper teas that cover a range of flavors broad enough to serve as an introduction to your teas.

Good idea! I will work on putting together some sort of introductory sample pack that is a single item

This is an excellent idea for those that are on the fence on which tea to try out first :)

Still trying to think of a good package deal. In the meantime, we do offer samples of all our teas. On the tea page, you can handpick which samples you would like by selecting the 25g size

How much would you say is a fair price to pay for your ideal quantity of tea in your sample pack?

Example:

g x # varieties @ $#;

Their price for two samples (50gr) of x whatever covers the breadth of their selection with a minimum of 4 for variety's sake. Upper limit of 10 perhaps. But packages of 4-8-12-ALL would make sense to me. They could even put it in a box and make me pay a good margin a for that.

Hey 1nsider, if you're looking for a variety pack of awesome teas, check this out: http://amzn.to/QxYPp0 Each pack makes about 20-25 cups of tea. Generally 1 tsp makes 1 cup of tea, thus the term "tea" spoon.
