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.
