Great tea but shipping costs

Previous review

I very much enjoy the flavors and quality of the product. I also enjoy that there are organic options. However, as a privat person and not a company, the shipping costs are high and often half the price of the actual order. I'm just sticking with it because of the quality.

More Tea Varieties
June 29, 2025

There was a time when there were more selection of tea and different blends. The best was the Bourbon Rooibos and the Maui Hawaiian Blend Tea (herbal or black). As a wholesale shop I know companies ask for special blends and maybe the left overs can be sold to the customers to get rid of waste.

The shipping is way too high. But everything else is great. Please lower the shipping prices and then everything will be great.

I come here for the selection and the locality of the company, and I appreciate the depth of information provided about each product. The only downside for me is that I'm just buying for home culinary use, and with 1/4 pound as the smallest size, I always end up with extra herbs going stale after too long waiting in the cupboard. If I could get 2oz packs, I'd be inclined to try more new things you have on offer, but it never seems worthwhile if I have to commit to a 1/4 pound. So I always end up sticking to herbs I already know I like.
