Teatulia LIVE on Wine.Woot!

Posted on by

Teatulia is thrilled to be featured on Wine.woot for the second time! This time we  offer a 3-pack including Teatulia Black, Bengal Breakfast and Neem Nectar – all for just $15.99!  Here is what some of the “wooters” have to say about Teatulia Tea:

I bought the 6 pack sampler here a while ago. These 3 were my favorite of the 6. Definitely buying again.  -specvic

I was just saying that I need more Teatulia Tea as I ran out last month. I bought Teatulia from woot last time and I liked it a lot. I liked the Breakfast tea and the Black tea. I don’t remember exactly how the Neem tea was, but I drank it all so it couldn’t have been that bad. I am a little disappointed though because the Earl of Bengal was my favorite and it isn’t in here.
The pyramid bags are awesome, it makes it easier for me to get good tea without having to bring all the things needed for loose leaf tea.
I would definitely recommend you try this if you haven’t already!  -ViperEagle

I bought these last time when woot had them up as a 6 pack of different flavors and they are my all time favorite now! The little cardboard cannisters keep it fresh for a long time. I definitely recommend these to tea drinkers, you’ll love them.  – Sbrandt
I agree! I purchased the 6-pack of Teatulia on woot a while back and have enjoyed them all. I normally reuse a Teatulia tea pouch about 3 times before discarding, and still find my tea to have good flavor. If you are looking to try some new teas, this is a good value for very delicious tea.  -mreynolds179

In for two…I recently got introduced to whole-leaf tea and I’m afraid I’ve gotten spoiled for the regular stuff. The second will make a great gift for a tea-lovin’ friend.  -jdick17

This is only up for a limited time so be sure to get in on the action now!  Teatulia on Wine.Woot.com
