SHIPPING DATES
WHEN ORDERS GET SHIPPED
Orders get shipped out every Wednesday. Orders from Monday to Sunday are made and packaged on Monday and Tuesday, then shipped Wednesday. Other days are added if an over abundance of orders occurs.
WHY SHIP LIKE THIS
There's a number of practical reasons. The company has a workforce of one person, consolidating orders saves hours every week. Time is also needed to make the teas, coffee, and soaps (A tea typically has to "sit" for about 2 days before it can be packaged). We also need to frequently do inventory to reorder supplies and ingredients. When we were doing daily orders, many orders were frequently delayed by up to a week because of this, so the once a week method saw little change for many people.
Simple tea with a smoky addition. If you like lapsang souchong this is a no-brainer.
This tea is as you can expect quite smoky, with a slight Earl Grey flavor to it, what I didn't expect, despite the ingredients, is for it to have a smokier flavor than the Fire Nation tea, if you're looking for something smoky, this is your tea, however, if you're looking for something a bit more mellow, I'd suggest you try the Fire Nation tea, instead.
