My order was running late, so Renee was so kind to work with me. She not only got the order out, but sent me a complimentary tea as a gift. We tried our first tea and it is fabulous, with this unusual but wonderful smoky flavor. So far, we’re extremely thrilled with the tea we purchased. Thanks to Renee for the excellent service.
Order 1032. I have never received my order. I have been waiting since May 24th. I want to know where my order is. I'm very angry.

I had an amazing time at the Art of The Blend event. No only did a learn alot, customer service was great, and the tea was simply divine. I created 3 of my own blend and bought extra tea to bring home. The owner Ms. Renee was relatable and knowledgeable.
