If you don’t want to mask in tiny café spaces which cater to all (yes, even immune-compromised) members of the community, that’s fine. To throw a temper tantrum on this level and trash a small business’s reviews? Grow up, and good riddance. PS Our chai is baller. Your loss.

Recent comment we received on a list of action items to support Palestine. This one was respectfully phrased at least, but it has to be said: tea IS political. Tea has always been political, & our shop isn’t shy about that. Shopping is political. It’s a manner of voting.

WE'RE SO PROUD! Thank you! This KS allows our small company a game-changing resource to level up and stay competitive in a brutal economy. Not only is our tea about to be more accessible, we're also giving our gorgeous loose leaf the most glorious makeover ever! We did it!

Ok, you FIENDS. Apparently I'm too good at my job! The exclusive advent blends were designed to be a fun lil treat, but it's become clear that y'all are skewing more toward distress than delight as they become new faves you may never see again. This simply will not do. (1/4)

What we need to get through this and get past the “limping by, maybe not surviving until next month” stage is simple: community investment. If you have the ability to purchase gift cards, custom blend sessions, come to the cafe for a cuppa, etc. It all helps us through this. ❤️

@Synther4 😂😂😂 Bud, I'm a hippie tea witch mother of two small business owner with a Care Bear heart just trying to do my best to take care of people. That's the whole tea THING. Compassion. That it would even occur to you these might be my motives shows how much our biz isn't for you.

We are firmly PRO-STRIKE. It’s not even a question. These billion-dollar corporate entities continue to treat laborers as subhuman disposables, and we will always support fighting back. We support making these companies uncomfortable and inconvenienced.

I’ve been tagged in posts on their behavior, asking me to comment or speak on their behalf. I’ve been accused by his detractors of working with them & covering for their bad behavior. I’ve been accused by their fans of spreading rumors about them & reveling in their downfall.

While I wish I'd maintained my composure & kept cool until they were gone, I stand by my choice not to serve them. Yes, you have a right to patronize businesses whose policies you agree with. Businesses have a right to set their own policies & not bend to your abuse. (5/5)
