Tea Suppliers with an expedited sourcing process?

Thanks for the reply & link. Their website, https://www.tealet.com/our-mission talks about increasing value for the tea farmers and reducing cost to the consumer, which are great ideas. However, I didn’t see any specific mention of expedited sourcing from the farm to the consumer to provide the freshest tea possible.

Aloha, I am Elyse, the founder of Tealet. All of our teas are expedited from the farm. We rotate most of our inventory within 2 months, promoting the freshest teas that we can. We are building a wholesale auction where retailers or individuals to bid on entire exclusive lots that can be drop shipped from the farm. We have heard from many retailers though that they value a wholesaler in the US that can serve as a QC check for teas coming direct from the farm. If you have any recommendations of how we can best build this platform please get in touch with me at [email protected]. Our business is still molding into what it will become, but we are driven by the mission to create connections between tea growers and tea lovers on a global level.

Hi Elyse, Thanks for sharing about Tealet’s expedited sourcing process. It’s good to know that Tealet is also concerned about offering the freshest tea possible. Your openness to process improvement suggestions should be a great asset to Tealet’s future growth!

Tao of Tea’s website does provide a good first impression. I too didn’t see any specific mention of expedited sourcing from the farm to the consumer to provide the freshest tea possible.

Now I know why Butiki has so many loyal fans!

Hi Angel, with all the wonderful comments I’ve read about TeaVivre, I’m not at all surprised that TeaVivre is so very concerned about the quality & freshness of your tea. TeaVivre may wish to consider adding this additional detail to your website.

Yes, we’ll add this information on our site soon!

The updated “About Us” webpage: http://www.teavivre.com/about-teavivre/ provides an excellent description of TeaVivre’s expedited sourcing process. Kudos!

Do they ship to the US?

yes, they ship worldwide. would contact them. they are fluent in Dutch, English and Chinese.

Sandra, Thanks for the reply & link.
After visiting Tea Adventure’s website I found the following pages that provide a very good first impression:
http://www.tea-adventure.com/en/freshness-guarenteed
http://www.tea-adventure.com/en/about-tea-adventure
“Mission: Our mission is to make premium loose leaf teas available for everyone! This is why we offer high grade tea for low prices and why we offer two free samples with every order. This is also the reason why we offer free shipping and why we offer to return your money when you’re not satisfied, etc. etc. Many people are not yet familiar with high quality leaf. We give them a risk-free opportunity to find out all why so many people love fresh loose leaf tea!”
http://www.tea-adventure.com/en/faqen – 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE … including the transport costs (Definitely, not very common.)
However, I did not see a specific mention of the number of days/weeks the tea arrives after it has been picked.

Has anyone in the US ordered from Tea Adventure?

Their teas look/sound great!
