Swweeet! I did an order with Den’s Tea, an online seller of Japanese Green Teas. If you are looking for some solid Japanese green teas, I highly recommend them.
They have a really good deal going on, with their $3 Novice Sampler pack! (pssst, price includes shipping!)
I snagged one a month or two ago, and it came with like 5 bags of tea, a couple 10gram packets of loose leaf teas and a $3 coupon! So, with this new order, I used the coupon, thus making those samples free, hehe!
Here’s my recent order:
Hmm, that’s a big box for just the 2 teas I ordered and it’s interestingly full of stuff!
Inside:
I got a bag of Houji Genmaicha and Yuzu Kukicha. I snagged the Yuzu Kukicha because it is a seasonal tea – grab it while you can! Ahh, I’m a sucker for seasonal, limited edition teas. Also, a Den’s catalog and the local Japanese magazine. The magazine I will probably flail at my husband, asking for him to take me to some of the good looking Japanese restaurants it highlights. My husband and I love Japanese restaurants – we love sushi and I love terrorizing staff on how much tea I can put away.
With that, and this is a thing I love online tea companies to do – include a free sample!
Gyokuro Kin sample? SCORE!
High on my to-do list is to review Yuzu Kukicha before it sells out, but not sure if that’ll pan out.
So my lovely owl tea peeps out there… any free sample victory stories?
