Happy March, tea lovers!
March is an exciting month in the tea world because it's the time of year that fresh spring 2021 harvesting begins. In 2-3 months from now you will start seeing 2021 harvest teas in the Tea Runners line up.
We've got some terrific teas for you this month, including some for the best sellers from our web store like Golden Monkey, Jalinga Estate Assam, Earl Grey Creme, Irish Breakfast, and Iron Goddess of Mercy. If you've never tried them this is a great opportunity to do so. We've also got a big list of customization options to choose from this month.
We're happy to announce that we've finished our move into a bigger warehouse. This will allow us to keep more teas on hand for our store and keep your favorites in stock throughout the year. It will also drastically reduce the amount of time it takes us to receive, pack, and list teas in our store.
At the time of writing this our store is still not quite ready. We're ironing out some final tech issues but we should be back online selling teas next week, with a huge restock to continue throughout the month.
Lastly, for the past few months we've been working on a custom My Account dashboard that will make the process of managing your subscription and your customization requests very easy and error free. We're hoping it will be live and operational in April.
Happy sipping!
