I just noticed this thanks to the Steepster forums, but Rachel Carter of iHeartTeas has been compiling various sets of tea samples for sale on Tea Trade.
On the site, you can buy samplers that she’s assembled from great sites such as Chicago Tea Garden, Capital Teas, and more.
I think this is a brilliant idea as many tea companies don’t offer sampler sets for those of us who are interested in trying and learning about a variety of tea. Sadly, many of the companies who do offer samplers often charge exorbitant rates for either the sampler packages ($5 per sample?) or quite a bit for shipping ($1 sample + $8 shipping?) which make it difficult to justify the purchase.
