Just wanted to spread the benefits... specialteas.com, an old favorite source of good teas, has a 75% off everything in their inventory. I hope this is a inventory refreshing operation rather than a last hurrah, but either way, there are (still) some great deals there now.
Great sale at specialteas.com

Wow, that's drastic.
i too hope this isn't a last hurrah. While they may not be my favorite tea shop to order from I've enjoyed many of their teas.
Thanks for the heads up.

I just spent a few minutes on the site and it seems that everything is gone already.
They are indeed closing.

Ugh... sad news indeed. There was some good stuff there when I was looking just prior to posting here.
I never knew of the cross ownership by the mall stall corporation... but let's hope that the founders of the company cashed out handsomely when they got bought out and use some of that cash to found something newer and better.

Oh man, I hate to hear this! This is sad news. I loved their teas!

Indeed... they did have some great teas... I'm really enjoying the Yunnan I got from them. Wish I'd picked up more of that when I could.
