I love tea and I buy a lot of tea. I recently found out about adagio teas and, since they offer a gift code, I decided to place a $50 order ($50 qualifies for free shipping). The $5 gift code would give me a nice assortment of new teas to try for under $50. It is likely they would gain a repeat customer because of my tea obsession.
Last week I attempted this order and found that my $50 order somehow turned into a higher dollar amount when processed by the adagio teas web site’s shopping cart.
Frustrated by this, I took the time to send them an email, explaining that my order actually totalled exactly $50 and that the shopping cart was giving me an incorrect total, but I never got a reply. I had almost forgotten about this, never to return to adagio teas for any tea purchase, when I received a “Friendly Reminder” email with the $5 gift code I had failed to use in my botched shopping cart order…
I immediately assumed these guys were on the case and had sent me this message to let me know all was well and that I could go ahead and place my my $50 order (with $5 off), so I went back to the adagio teas web site with glee and excitement over the tea I would order there.
After going through the process of, once again, selecting exactly $50 worth of products from the site and going to check out with my $5 gift card, the incorrect total was presented once again. It’s not the money, but the principle that they failed to respond to me as a customer the first time on the incorrect total issue. The fact that the adagio teas web site gave me an incorrect total is also an issue to me, but not so much because of the few dollars.
I expected to pay $45 for my $50 order with the promo offer and was presented with a new story before I had my credit card out. This is what can only be classified as a FAIL.
I can get great tea from a lot of sources, but I always like to try new web sites that offer a great selection as does the adagio teas web site. Sadly, I won’t be buying anything from them because they didn’t take the time to respond to my email.
my tea drawer. so, i like tea.
I have a very large tea tupperware thing here at my new place. At my old place, I installed a dedicated tea shelf. Tea is a ritual for me. I’d like some now, actually!
green tea
I had the (soy) vanilla rooibos. Not bad at all.
Pffff tea. I don’t like tea (I said it before, I know) I used to have tea in Holland with friends just to have an excuse to have cookies. Because my friends used to drink tea by the quadruple gallon. I don’t know it doesn’t do what coffee does to me…although I know it’s infinitely better than coffee.
whatever last I checked no tea drinker has lived forever either…
I love tea. I quit drinking coffee 5 years ago and, although I do crave the bean occasionally, my daily habit is green tea with nothing but water. I like other teas also, but am most definitely one of those quadruple gallon dudes.
Kimberley Ripmaster is addicted to this place in Green Hills Galleria. She is addicted to wulong tea and she adds a little rock sugar. I also tried this flowering tea….
it just sits at the bottom of your glass you just pour water over it. I know it sounds questionable but its amazing……and good for you.
I love tea and Teavana absolutely rules. Pistachio Apple Pie Rooibos is my current evening favorite there (because it tastes/smells just like pistachios and apple pie) but I usually just go for Dragonwell.
Teaism is greatness behind a door.
This makes me want a moleskin. But, once I have it.. I never use it.
Sipping and planning (via *December Sun)
I’ve had one that remains wrapped in it’s plastic wrapper for about six months and, for some reason that cannot make sense even in my own mind, I just ordered a Chronotebook. Actually, I really plan to use that, but I really planned to use my moleskine notebook also. If there is such a thing, I think I must be paperphobic.
Tetulia adds a “a” to the name. Good call… and GREAT tea! Check them out on Facebook and they might even send you a free sample! :-)
hey there, sorry for the lag in response time! There still is, we changed our name to Teatulia and therefore changed the title of our page. let me know if you can’t find it!
Cheers,
