Shipping
We stock our teas and accessories in Hong Kong, and ship your orders globally via Hong Kong Post service. With one exception: Journals are shipped from the US via USPS (for US orders), or from Hong Kong (for non-North American orders).
Announcements
*[Sept 2, 2025] Our Tea Tasting Journal presale is now live! We're making these available to customers in the US and worldwide by printing and shipping them from the US.
*[August 12, 2025] Shipping tea & teaware to the US is currently suspended until further notice (our online course and the journal are not affected). The Trump administration recently announced it will be removing the deminimis law for all countries. This means, starting August 29th, all small parcels entering the US, regardless of origin and value, are subject to tariffs and/or a flat fee. The tariff applied to Hong Kong is currently set to 30% and the flat fee is $200. To avoid such situations for our US customers, we are temporarily disabling shipping for now. We hope the situation will improve soon and we plan to bring back US shipping once procedures are clearer. We thank you for your patience and understanding. Please note, US customers are still able to purchase the Tea Tasting Journal and our Online Course - this remains unaffected.
