Teavana 75% OFF sale on MOST* Things FS on $50+

Quote from SlickCanon : It depends a bit on the tea, but: 2 oz. of tea will brew between 25-30 8oz cups of tea, unless otherwise noted.

most decent quality loose leaf tea can also be seeped more than once. Meaning you can make more than 1 cup using the same tea. Best way to get most bang for your buck out of tea is to seep it in a pot of some sort, and then get that tea stored in something else, seep the same tea again, put that away etc. I drink white tea, and the silver needle I buy, I seep 3 times. The 3rd time I leave it seeping for an extra 2 minutes. Works like a charm and allows your tea to go a lot further. Not sure if this will make sense for a college student making it in their dorm room and what not, but just some friendly info for all other tea drinkers. I'm not sure if this process will work for all types of teas, but I think any quality loose leaf tea should allow for more than a single seeping...

Thanks OP, repped. I have a friend and a brother with birthdays coming up, and for $30 each, I was able to get them 3 tins to fill with 8 oz of samurai chai, orange blossom, and acai mate -- oh and a pound of fancy sugar to boot (which seemed overpriced at just under $9, but various blogs and overwhelmingly positive reviews of the german rock sugar convinced me it was probably worth trying, and at least would make for a more complete gift set).

Seeping? You sure are knowledgeable about tea.

True, but 2 things:
1. This only works on some teas, in particular the green varieties with short steeping times. I have yet to find a black tea that tastes good steeped more than once.
2. The first brew is better than subsequent brews; I find the tea gets more and more bitter when brewed multiple times.

My answer to the question was pulled directly from Teavana's FAQ btw Personally I find I need to use more tea than they state in the instructions so I get a bit less than the advertised 25-30 cups.

ha. you got me. That post was actually typed by a team of monkeys. Surprised it came out as coherent as it did...

Yes indeed, it is all about the tea you're using. I rarely drink black tea so not sure how that works, but for green/white it definitely works. I don't believe it gets more bitter with subsequent steeps, but if you leave it in longer, by default it will be a bit more bitter. What I do is run it through 3 times, and put all of the tea in a jug. The combination of the 3 steeps gives me great tea. You have to play around with it and find your groove. Just providing some general guidance, you'd have to see how the tea you want to drink works with some trial and error. Black tea being the most processeed likely doesn't have the backbone to stand up to multiple steeps, but I don't know that for a fact...

Been sitting on the line waiting for customer service in hopes of altering my order for 20 mins....ugh...I forgot to add an item in my haste...bah humbug

Is that what's called T-bagging?

SAVETEA10 doesn't work for my $6x order

It won't take $10 off until you actually confirm payment. So it'll say it will charge you $6x for your order, then when it says your order is done, it should only say $5x.

I'm having a slight problem.

Ordered 16 tea's total at 2 oz each. Correct me if I'm wrong but 16 oz = 1 lb so 32 oz = 2 lb's.

I'm only getting the 10% discount for the 1 lb tea but not the 15% discount.... shady business... unless their oz weighs less then other ounces...


In either case, check how much you have when you ordered. I'm going to call CS tomorrow when they open.

Their website is not designed well. I placed 2 orders and got 4 (!) pending charges on my credit card. There are only 2 orders shown in my order status. They better not charge me twice!

Got a bunch of teas, got an extra 15% off for over 2lbs. and then also used the SAVETEA10 coupon to save an extra $10. Great deal. Should be all stocked up for the rest of 2013. Thanks for sharing!

I am trying to order some tea. I have never bought from Teavana. What do you recommend?

Good deal. I just bought a bunch of tea! Went crazy on tea. Also bought the monkey stuff. Gotta have some monkey tea. Who doesnt love monkeys especially when they are picking tea.
