Welcome! Your pictures are stunning!

Hello, and thank you! I wish I could say I was doing a terrible amount, but I think my camera is pulling off most of the hard work there. :)

Welcome, Alex (and James) from Hong Kong!

I am looking forward to your launching!

I also take some time to load the pictures here. But after that, the pictures look great! You and Ryan look really happy in the picture. :)

James is really Ryan James. He thought the middle name sounded nicer. ;)

Thank you! Yeah, I’m working with Wix right now to improve load times — it’s not like it’s an incredibly large website right now so I’m hopeful they’ll be able to do something.

Oh! Say hi to James (Ryan), please! Both J & R sound great.
Surf your site later!

Welcome sir. You are brave to go up again the Steepster crew. Your site looks nice, very simple.

Thank you!

We’re nervous, but confident that everyone at Steepster will find something they like. It certainly is intimidating, though!

I think you will do just fine here A&J. It’s generally a pretty friendly place. You are responding favorably to the comments. IMHO it’s nice to meet the vendors learn a bit about them and in turn as a vendor you have the opportunity to ask your potential customer base for their thoughts. Seems win/win to me. Welcome aboard. :)

Thank you! Everybody seems really helpful; we’re both really overwhelmed by the amount of response we’ve had on here already. We’re both huge tea drinkers as well as vendors so I think we’ll fit right in. :)

Welcome Alexander!

Also, I’m confirming that it takes a really long time to load the site on a Macbook (via Chrome browser).

Hi, Flyawaybride! I’m so sorry I missed your post somehow. Our website host is looking into the slowdown!

Be sure to look at this page before you launch. ;)

but the paragraph wants to talk! :)

That must be Lorem Ipsum’s younger sibling!

“I’M A PARAGRAPH GUYS PAY ATTENTION TO ME”

Rest assured that that page will be all filled out and pretty by the 9th. :) I may have to leave one of those as the default paragraph, though… that’s hilarious.

One. More. Day.

We’re super excited to be opening tomorrow. :) Before we do, we’re happy to announce a couple of things!

First, shipping is going to be a flat-rate $5 fee no matter where you are in the world!

Second, we’re putting together a custom sample pack option (with a minimum sample of .5 ounces per tea, and a starting point of 3 different teas) that will be on the website for tomorrow.

And lastly, we’re also happy to announce that we’re developing a charity initiative that gives back to our tea-growers and their communities. We can’t release too much info yet as we’re still ironing out the kinks, but I was so excited by this that I needed to share. :)

I hope to see you all at open tomorrow! <3 Thank you for being so supportive from the get-go. Have a wonderful evening!
