Celebrating 5+ years of making new relationships through our love of fine tea…
Tracy and I were awake far too early one morning in June 2018. Tracy begrudgingly left the comfort of our bed and went upstairs to boil water and make our beloved Bourbon Vanilla black tea – the coveted beverage that we had drunk almost exclusively for 25+ years. Minutes later Tracy returned to our bedroom holding both a pot of tea and bad news. While waiting for the water to boil she noticed our stash of Bourbon Vanilla loose leaf tea was low and sent an email, seeking replenishment, from our tea contact – Stave Sakai owner of The Tea Store. Steve shot back a quick reply. “Hi Tracy – sorry I have no more stock. I am soon shutting down the business. Thanks for your support over the years. Keep well – Steve”.
Perhaps it was the lack of sleep, or fear of losing our beloved caffeinated beverage, but in a hurried moment, two already hard working professionals contacted Steve and offered to buy his online tea business. In doing so, we secured our beloved Bourbon Vanilla tea and began our own incredible small business journey.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS?
Q: If I reside in Canada why must I place an order in US Dollars on this site?
A: Just for our Canadian tea enthusiasts we have now created a near mirror copy of this site where all of the same great teas can be ordered online and in Canadian funds! Visit www.teaontheweb.ca
Q: How is your tea price established?
A: On our site the tea is sold in 100 gram units. The price for each tea variety is initially set by the tea producer (i.e.: Ronnefeldt) who updates their wholesale tea prices annually based upon the quality, availability, and any regional climate concerns (i.e.: Drought – South Africa). We are constantly looking for every opportunity to provide you with the highest quality tea at the best possible price.
Q: What is included in the shipping fee?
A: Every order that is delivered through the postal service includes both expedited delivery and a tracking fee. These additional costs are necessary to ensure you receive the teas that you ordered and that we can track each delivery.
