Hello tea friends, on this Teatime with Jesse, we give you a little sneak peak on what it’s like running our tea company. Angel Wheeler has been working with us for around three years, making sure we have stellar customer service.

In this episode, we talk about how we plan tea releases, learning Chinese, growing up with hobbies, and Viking history. Lots of stuff! We’re sipping some tea of course.
