your tea is super

Suggestion for the tea people: I just discovered Tazo’s Vanilla & Apricot White Tea and it is smells (and tastes) divine. I don’t drink it alone; I fill a pitcher with cold water, add four Lipton tea bags, and one vanilla/apricot tea bag. I let sit in the refrigerator overnight. Yum, it’s not your granny’s iced tea!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I enjoyed looking at your website. Your Pu’erh tea is interesting and your descriptions of your tea are very in depth and interesting. I liked the colorful pictures streaming across the top of the page. If there is a subtitle like, Samplers, there should be something there to purchase. People may not want to go back on 1/9 or remember to go back. I did enjoy your site though and think that it gives a tea person and a non tea person good information to purchase just the right tea. Thanks for allowing me to comment. Maureen

My suggestion is to sponsor a contest for original reader-created recipes using your teas or other products. The contest could be simply for beverages using your teas. You might also consider asking for original recipes using your products in things other than beverages : baked goods, entrees etc. I am an avid cook who creates many original recipes each month for national recipe contests. Sponsoring a recipe contest would be a great way to promote your site and your products. Prizes could be your products, a gift certificate to your store, money, or any combination of those items. Recipe contests spread the news about your web site and your products, boost sales, and create goodwill and customer loyalty. I would be glad to give you more specific ideas and suggestions on sponsoring such a contest, if you desire. I’d certainly enter a recipe contest you’d sponsor and I know many others would do the same!

I love different types of tea
January 5th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
My wife and I drink tea for two reasons. First, the great taste and second the health benefits.
You have promoted the taste aspect but should put more emphasis on the health benefits of tea. I am a subscriber.

I would like to see more of a selection of 100% organic teas. Also, to read about the benefits of each tea/ingredient. Recipes would be great too!
January 5th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
small gift packs would be a good idea. thanks.
January 5th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I would love to see them offer more bath teas. I use tea a lot in the bath (especially for sunburns!) but have never seen a site offer it specifically- I usually spend the evening with Lipton- LOL!
[email protected]
January 6th, 2009 at 12:08 am
I love your selection! However, as a socially-conscious consumer, I’d really appreciate having more information about your providers. For instance, are you fair-trade? Other than that, some emphasis on health benefits, as another reader has pointed out, would really add to the appeal of both traditional and lesser-known teas.
January 6th, 2009 at 12:09 am
I was going to suggest samplers but it looks like they are coming.
January 6th, 2009 at 12:31 am
I would like to suggest making the print under the pictures of the tea a little bigger. On my screen it’s quite small.

I’m a big tea drinker so I found the site very interesting. I agree with the comments others have made about the samplers and emphasizing the health benefits of tea. I like the pictures of the tea bushes, but wonder if photos of cups of tea in a nice setting and showcasing the variety of teas you have might be more effective at getting people to buy. I had some problems with the length of time it took pages to load, but hopefully that is only temporary.
January 6th, 2009 at 6:45 am
My only suggestion would be for a sale section

I’ve never heard of your tea before, but I definitely enjoyed browsing your site. I think I’ll do some more browsing (and maybe shopping!) after I’m finished with this comment!
January 6th, 2009 at 11:32 am
I’d like to see some samplers. If you are new to loose tea, it can be daunting trying to select the one that you want with out tasting any. Samplers are great because they allow you try them all, and not end up with a box of something that doesn’t suit your taste buds.

January 6th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
I think their site is pleasing to the eye and not full of flashy ad’s and what nots. Although I agree I would love to read more about the places they came from, fair trade etc. I also agree with a previous poster that having a list of benifits would be great for someone who is just beginning with drinking tea!

As an avid tea drinker, your products look interesting. I was particularly intrigued by the unique tea selection. I would love to try the TNT sleeping beauty. I’ve never seen the prosperity cube anywhere else, nor even heard of green rooibos. I would’ve appreciated a little more information about green roibos’ flavor and the unusual packaging for the TNT teas.
I am not sure the web design showcases your wares with the ease that an online consumer expects. For example, I appreciate the lengthy commentary about each type of tea (red, green, black, etc). However, after reading the essay, it would be better to be redirected to the essay’s subsection as opposed to the main page. If I read a whole essay about red tea, I want to look at red teas afterwards. Also the unique tea section should be under last Pu-Erh tea. As mentioned above, the sampler and gift basket pages are currently empty.
Although the header is beautiful, it takes up a lot of space. Home page should feature more pictures of your wares, as opposed to an argument for loose teas. The text is not as attractive as tea pictures, but keep the free shipping in red.
I would also suggest having a fuller best sellers subsection.
January 6th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Wow…what a great variety of choices. I finally decided on Jasmine Green tea.
Thanks for a great giveaway.

I would love to see decaffeinated black tea that doesn’t have any added flavor but still tastes great!
January 6th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Great site, no suggestions. I love Tea! Thanks!
January 6th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I would suggest that they carry a plain Rooibos tea. The Bourbon sounds delicious to me but my husband likes it best plain.
Katies last blog post..Late, ME?

Hi,
I’m wondering if you have a decaf, loose-leaf tea or a mixed box selection of several differnet types of decaf. tea bags??? I couldn’t find it, please point it out if you do?
January 6th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
I LOVE SAMPLER PACKS SO I CAN TRY SEVERAL FLAVORS THEN PICK A FAVORITE
January 6th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
the selection looks great, but i think the site needed a facelift! the layout looks too much like a template and the font doesn’t really look as “crisp” as it does on very professional looking websites. overall though, the site and products look great, good luck!
January 6th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
I love green tea. My suggestion would be for them to carry Fair Trade teas.

I think that you should also list other categories for the teas such as Dessert Teas, Breakfast Teas, etc. Sometimes I prefer to search by that type rather than the type of tea (Red, Green, etc). Also, I agree that you should include more pictures of brewed tea.

Well - I’m from England - and naturally, enjoy a good cup of tea. Having done webdesign myself and love to shop on line, I would prefer to see the site more colorful/tasteful/classier-looking. Just my initial thoughts.

I love the fresh, clean, crisp look of Red Leaf Tea, it definately makes me want to have a good ol’ pot of tea! I’d like to see suggested finger foods, snacks, that would be best with each tea.. You know how you have certain wines that are good with certain foods? Maybe they could sell sets that come with treats of this type? Have “Tea Party” packages!

I really like honey in my tea, but thanks to allergies I try to stick with local honey. Maybe you could provide links to places to get local honey for all 50 states (and maybe those places would recirocate with a link to your site).
That’s really all I could think of - the site is fast and well organized.

I found the website to be well organized and easy to use. But a couple of cosmetic suggestions: The main page has too much green especially the light green around the outside. I like all the pictures if the tea plants but so much green makes it bland looking.
January 7th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I would ask them if they offer Iced Tea.

I’d be interested in more information on the origins of your tea . . . as I became hooked on Red Tea while in Africa, its South African origin, and fair trade [??] is of interest to me, as I imagine it would be to others.

I thought the website was well-designed and very easy to navigate. I appreciated the descriptions and the customer reviews. Please keep the “free shipping” service. Suggestions would include: (1)for us simple folk, describe what the health benefits actually are instead of simply alluding to them in the descriptions; (2)do away with the 3 distracting pictures under the larger photo and use buttons that tell info such as what would be a great accompaniment to that tea; if there is a best time of the day to enjoy it; health benefits; suggestions for using it for a recipe; etc.

I admit that I’m behind the tech curve - I still use dial-up to connect to the net. I usually surf with images and flash turned off. So my advice to Redleaf is have your web guru try the site with images and flash turned off. The site is very hard to read the way it is. I’m sure just a little tweaking will make it more readable for us in the dark ages and not affect the look for the fast crowd. I love to drink tea (have a cup near right now). Thanks for the contest.
January 8th, 2009 at 2:02 am
I love Red Leaf Tea’s website. Only thing that I would suggest is a tea recipe section. How delicious would that be? You can create sooo many magical recipes with tea from iced tea splendors to adding a tea bag to the broth of cooking rice! Yummy! : )))

Citrus Chamomile sounds very interresting and may help you to get some sleep! No harm in trying it!

Great products, but the home page could be made to appeal more to the senses. Use music, copy that talks of the sights, and smells (aroma), colors, and tastes of teas in reference to the history of tea and the journey it makes from where it is grown to where it is presented by Red Tea to the public. References to tea and its contribution to the global economy, and “good health” should also be incorporated in the body of the text.
The blooming teas are beautiful and an eye catcher. Highlight the blooming teas (small photo) on the home page. Best wishes, and thanks for the giveaway.

I enjoyed your website. I drink almost exclusively loose tea and purchase it online from several vendors. One thing you could do to improve your website it to make it easier for people to find the teas they are looking for. If someone is looking for non-flavoured black teas right now they have to go to the black tea tab and hunt through all the flavoured teas. The plain black teas (Darjeeling, ceylon) do not appear to be single estate… if they are you need to list the estate they are from. It would also be useful to post the grading of your tea, and the type of tea used in flavoured teas (most likely ceylon?). I enjoyed the fact that you posted reviews of your teas.
Although I like to try many different flavours of tea, I try to shop at stores where I can stock up on the ‘basics’ while I am there. I do not see Yunnan, Assam or other basic black teas in your selection. It would be a good idea to add them (As well as grade, region). The same goes for green teas.
If a tea has a name that does not describe the flavour (e.g. green harmony) you may want to put a word or two describing the flavour on the main page… otherwise your customers have to click in and out of dozens of pages to read about your teas, which can become frustrating.
If you are carrying fewer teas so that you can rotate through them faster (sending very fresh tea to the customer) then emphasize that somewhere on your page… this will explain the fewer offerings and showcase the strength of your site.
I like the site! I wish you the best of luck. I have bookmarked it for future reference.
