The shipping woes at the ports are a real thing. Delays getting product cleared through customs is a real thing. Inflation is a real thing. Shipping cost increases are a real thing. Halloween is behind us and this can only mean one thing - holiday stress is a real thing!!! All this stress in the zeitgeist seems to be creating a frenzy around getting holiday shopping done early this year. Confession: we feel the pressure too, which is why the online Holiday Tea Shoppe is ready to rock!
There is an entirely new selection of gift sets priced from $24.00+ that all come elegantly wrapped in holiday ribbon, greenery, and a Jadetiger Tea® gift tag. There’s a gift for tea lovers, tea beginners, matcha lovers, everyone! Tea is the perfect gift for sharing warmth and cheer this holiday season.
As a perk, all orders placed on or before December 1st come with a complimentary holiday-only mini-tea tin. You can gift, or keep as a treat for being on top of your holiday shopping game.
Digression: Tea is grown in the Tropic of Cancer, where summers are hot and humid, and winters are cool and misty. Tea bushes also require 50” of rain per year, preferably grown in volcanic, porous soil, rich in mineral content. Countries where tea is grown are: China, India, parts of Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, to name a few. So this means, for the most part, tea is NOT grown in the U.S. (exceptions being in the Carolinas and Hawaii). Therefore, tea is an imported, globally sourced commodity, which must either be flown in or brought over via shipping container. Have you seen the perpetual line of shipping tankers in queue up and down the SoCal coast!?! Some days I wonder if some Jadetiger Tea® is on one of the ships, and that I might get the tea faster if I paddle boarded out and paddled the crates myself to safety in my tea workshop to blend in time for the Winter season!
