Beta testers needed - Help us revolutionize the way you discover new teas!
I sent you an email a while ago, but am signing up here too just to be sure.
So what’s the status of this? I saw one person mention that they got an invite, but I haven’t heard anything from anyone else yet.
Yes it would be nice to have a update. I signed up on here aswell as sent a email, havnt got a reply to either one.
Hi folks,
Thanks for the keen interest. We’re sending out invites in waves to make sure we can handle demand, and to get good learnings from the first waves who join. Rest assured you will all get an invite sooner than later – expect something in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks & happy steeping!

Oh, wow, thanks for bumping this thread, Rachel. I hadn’t heard about this ’til now and would also really like to know how the project is coming along!
No problem. Happy to help. I love when people bump threads that I missed before.
I received an invite a while ago. I order three free tea samples 10 days ago and I’m waiting to receive them. Hopefully I’ll get an update soon on what’s going on. I like the website’s idea. It’s kind of like the netflix queue for tea. You’re supposed to review the teas that you receive and then you have a chance to order three more samples. You could obviously purchase tea from the website.
Okay, thanks for clearing that up. My main concern was if people had gotten the samples that they put a request in for. Let us know when you get them.
Okay. I’ll definitely let you know. Maybe they’ll send some more people invites soon.
Thanks Erika – Your description is great. Netflix for tea. Better job than I could do. BTW – your sample is on the way, so it should arrive soon!
The goal with this service is to make tea discovery easy and fun. We think our teas are great, and we think if you try them you’ll agree. We also believe that people shouldn’t have to pay to sample our teas… when you walk into a tea store, you don’t pay to try a tea. Why should you have to do that online?
It’s a pretty simple idea, but one we hope will catch on. We feel the U.S. is finally ready to discover great tea (as opposed to the bagged shavings we grew up with), and our mission is help make that happen!
Cedes – they did say at the start it was open to us Canucks, so here’s hoping :)
Thanks for the update C.R. I look forward to receiving the tea samples and finding a new tea that I’ll love. :)
We will offer it to Canadians from the get-go! One of our founders and many of our friends are from Canada. Also, it can get so cold in the winter that we know you’ll need some great teas to keep you warm!
Enjoy!
C.R.
