I know it is rough out there right now. The economy seems to be headed south, and every where there seems to be a fear of recession. We received a call from The Wall Street Journal about doing a story on how small business is faring in this kind of economy. Truth be told, things are difficult all around - including for us. The cost of importing has gone up about 25% from the depreciation of the dollar itself. Shipping costs are at their worst due to high fuel costs, and business is slower than molasses in January. Despite all this, our prices have stayed steady. If you look around, we are still offering the highest quality tea at the most reasonable prices. With this terrible economy its a miracle that we have made it this far. But we have, and this calls for a celebration. This month we are celebrating our fourth birthday, and to celebrate, we are offering exceptional offers on many of our teas.
To our current customers, I say, thank you very much for your continued support. Small business like ours could not survive without your unending loyalty. I promise to continue to provide you good tea, at reasonable prices, and with top notch customer service.
