Excellent customer service and tea of the highest quality. The varieties are gorgeous and flavors unmatched. We especially loved how the color dances in the hot water and some blends even magically change colors when you add citrus! Rini helped us make the perfect choices for our tastes and then we decided to get the sample package to try even more. Beautifully crafted packaging. You can tell each batch is made with care and love. 10 out of 10!

The step-by-step tips on permits, labeling, and market setup saved me a ton of guesswork. It’s practical, easy to follow, and really feels like advice from someone who’s been there. Highly recommend it if you’re just starting out!
