Shipping Policy

We realize you are anxiously awaiting the moment when you can sip and savor our premium loose leaf teas. So we do everything we can get your order shipped out promptly.

Our shipping fee for most orders is a flat $5.99 (excluding accessories) and FREE for tea orders over $65.  Many orders placed by 8AM PST are shipped the same business day (weekends and holidays excluded). We do our best to ship all orders in 1-2 business days. 

Since we are (almost) centrally located in the US, our ship time is quicker than going from coast to coast, but the postman still takes time...typically you can expect to receive your order in 4-5 days from the ship date.

But don't worry, we'll keep you up to date as your order is processing, as well as tracking info once your order has shipped.

Delivery reported, but no package?

Missing your order? Send us an email as soon as you discover a delivery issue with your order number, and we'll gladly assist. Please double check your order confirmation that you received to ensure you entered the proper address. 

Often times, a package could be left in a place that may not be overly apparent to prevent it from 'walking away.' Or maybe the package was left with a neighbor for safekeeping. 

Should anything be amiss, please contact us as soon as possible. We will do our best to help.

 

SHIPPING TO CANADA

We happily ship to Canada! Orders typically ship next day Monday-Friday.

Once the shipment reaches Canadian customs, it may be subject to tariffs depending on the product type and country of origin. Canada also applies Goods and Services Tax (GST), Provincial Sales Tax (PST), or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) on imports.

Canadian taxes and tariffs are charged regardless of the carrier. We have not collected these taxes upfront, so they are due by the recipient upon arrival. 

Shipping rates vary based on the carrier, delivery location, package weight, dimensions, and delivery speed. We offer several shipping carrier options, and you can estimate the costs by selecting your preferred method during checkout.

We ship primarily via USPS to Canadian Post to avoid additional agent fees incurred charged by the carrier. However, this shipping method requires additional transit time (could be up to 30 days). 

We are happy to ship via UPS International so your order will arrive sooner (typically within 8 days). If the shipping carrier acts as the customs broker—common with services like UPS and FedEx—they may charge a brokerage or agent fee to handle customs clearance, which can add to the total cost.


OTHER INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS

We ship orders to select countries using Priority Mail International or UPS Select. Deliveries outside the United States typically arrive within 7-30 business days. Shipping rates are automatically calculated in checkout based on weight and distance. 

Additional taxes or duties may be due upon delivery. These fees are the responsibility of the customer. We have assigned HTS codes to our products to help estimate and hopefully alleviate any duties that may be applied upon receipt in your country.
