Q: How do you sell your tea?

A: We sell at farmer's markets and artisan shows in Southwest Michigan.  We sell our tea by the ounce, pre-packaged in a commercial kitchen.  Each ounce yields 10-12 resteepable* servings, and our prices vary by the blend, between $6-$10.00 each.  We do offer volume discounts on pre-ordered blends. (*we do not suggest steeping an Herb & Fruit only blend more than once.)

Q: How can I order more than one ounce at a time and cut down on packaging costs?

A: You can email us at jcandkteas@gmail.com or come see us at an upcoming market/show.  We offer discounts when you pre-order more than 3 ounces of a blend.  Love a blend and want a full-sized mason jar to enjoy?  This is the way to go.

Q: At what temperature should I steep my tea?

A: Depending on the blend, our suggested temperatures are:

  • Black tea blends: 208°F

  • Oolong tea blends: 195°F

  • Green tea blends: absolutely no higher than 175°F

  • Rooibos blends: 212°F

  • Herbal blends: 212°F

Q: For what amount of time should I steep my tea?

A: Depending on the blend, our suggested steep times are:

  • Black tea blends: no longer than 3 minutes per steep

  • Oolong tea blends: awaken/rinse for 30 seconds and immediately dispose of water; then steep/re-steep for 2 minutes.

  • Green tea blends: no longer than 2 minutes per steep

  • Rooibos blends: between 3-5 minutes per steep

  • Herbal blends: minimum of 5 minutes per steep
