Spring 2021..
Waiting for that happy day
Tillerman Tea
@LeoFox, I use the last song on the album "Tea for the Tillerman" as my ring tone. Oh well, we all have our eccentricities.
Laoshi is an old man and I do not recall seeing any of his 'employees' to be below 60 either, so understandably those guys do and should stay home for now... being based in Taipei, I guess he can not make the way to the tea farms, which are still operating normally as there are no cases there - yet.
That said, the situation is still laughably small, compared to the rest of the world. Daily cases dropping to around 50 a day. More scary I do find foot ball stadiums full of screaming fans, all without masks... sigh.

@Bok, Laoshi is a year younger than I am - when not talking tea (rare) I am 哥. When we are talking tea, it's not even close.
I can imagine that... Many times the conversation around a tea table are as interesting and educational as the tea sampling is!
I have been back to shops recently, but the way tea is usually sold in Taiwan, with extensive sampling before committing, makes pandemic safety a bit tricky. Although the situation has eased in severity a lot of of shops still are very cautious and reluctant to let people in who they are not familiar with.
Ring-a, ling-a DONG DING! All Dong Ding tea is 20% off until November 30th or while supplies last. Take advantage of this great offer to acquire some of the very best tea from Taiwan - tea from Chen Huan Tang (Laoshi) and Chen Kuan Lin (Andy). Visit https://tillermantea.net and apply coupon
Ring-a ling-a Dong Ding at checkout.

You're absolutely correct @LeoFox, there is no comma in the coupon code (my error - I don't do this often). You are also correct in that Tillerman rarely offers discounts; we work on margins that are very low by industry standards so we don't have a lot of room. This sale is intended as a thank you to all of our loyal customers - a chance for you to get some great tea at some great prices.
Saw this before I went to bed yesterday, thought it was about time I tried some of that Laoshi DD and sat down to do so this morning. You snooze, you lose 
(I had a hunch they might go fast though, 20% is a big discount!)
Winter 21 or spring 22 it is then

I also noticed that all of Tillerman's Laoshi Dong Ding disappeared between early last evening and early this morning. Too bad I didn't act sooner!
I've had his "Sweet Scented" Dong Ding and it's nice and comforting, but I wanted to try that Laoshi DD.
Such is the clout Tillerman has with his Laoshi, that I literally can not get this tea cheaper - in Taiwan… which means for all you out there that this tea is probably at least half as cheap as comparable quality from other Western facing vendors.
That’s quite some sourcing skill - or sorcery, more like it.

Count me among the fans of this DD
