There were a ton of sales at good tea shops before Christmas, but the pickings have been rather slim during the winter and spring months. The drought has broken slightly with a couple of specials being offered right now for a limited time.

Our friends at Mighty Leaf Tea had some technical difficulties on their website today that prevented shoppers from being able to place orders. They’re making up for it by offering 20% off on all orders through Thursday (May 17, 2012). Click here to jump on this very short deal and enter code SORRY20 at checkout.  My favorite teas from Mighty Leaf are their Organic Breakfast (black), Green Tea Tropical (green), and Ginger Twist (herbal).

Have you ever wanted to place a small order for tea and found that the cost of shipping made your order prohibitively expensive? I know that I have. Many an order has been aborted after I’ve learned how much the shipping charge would be, or how large of an order I would have to place to trigger free shipping. Art of Tea is offering free shipping on orders of $35 or more through September 15, 2012. Click here and enter code SUNSHINE35 at checkout. (Can’t be combined with any other offers. Available to customers in the U.S. only.)

Iced tea season is almost upon us, folks. Premium loose leaf tea from vendors such as Mighty Leaf and Art of Tea make the best iced tea you can possibly imagine, and the varieties are endless. Leave a comment below and let us know what you’re drinking now.
