      Those are the same style bags that my local tea shop (Tea Embassy in Austin TX) uses. They are great!

      The description of the packaging is in the second paragraph of the Kickstarter and there is a photo of the pouches. These pouches are awesome, you should give them a chance :).

      So I pledged at $30+ and I finally received my package. I am disappointed because I was expecting two "boxes" of tea. What I received was two pouches. Why go through the trouble of calling the "boxes" if they aren't? My whole reason for picking that tier reward was for two "boxes" of tea. If it was a matter of getting it out sooner so you don't have to make the individual tea bags then you should contact your investors and let them know.

      If I want both boxes and the cup, should I pledge 45 and then 15 more? Or just 60 and message you?

      Creator Gaia Tea on January 5

      Hey, go ahead and choose the $30 pledge and message me with the tea you want.

      Hi!
      I was wondering if I wanted two of the same tea instead of just one, would I have to choose the $15 dollar pledge or the $30?

      We use "Press-N-Brew" square tea bags, the same ones used by most tea companies in America. The paper is made from a special blend of thermoplastic fibers, abaca, and cellulosic fibers. The mugs and t-shirts will be made in America by CafePress.

      Creator Kouture Crochet on December 23

      will the tea bags be pyramid or triangle bags or will they be flat square paper bags?
      will the mug be made in america

      thank you!

      There are a dozen tea bags per box. Each tea bag can be steeped twice. We don't use any artificial flavors in our tea, so the amount of ingredients in each tea bag is 2-3 times more than the average tea bag.

      Thanks for answering my question! And it looks like we hit 200% :)

      Creator Matthew Carrasquillo on December 20

      Hey, question, how much tea is in a box?

    23. Gtwhitelogo-300dpi.small

      Creator Gaia Tea on December 19

      Good question. The main reason is because we don't premix any of our ingredients. So it is more practical to make large quantities of one or two blends. When you order a box from our store, we hand-make the blend from scratch. I found this to be the best way to make great tasting tea. Yes, there will be more campaigns in the future. Thank you for your support.

      Creator Ivan Yagolnikov on December 19

      Out of curiosity, why is Kickstarter campaign limited to two varieties when there are quite a few more on your site? Is it because these two will be first ones to get new packaging?

      We are super excited about reaching our goal soon. Stay tuned for stretch goals.
      Both Rose Chai and Green Nirvana are equally popular and people seem to really enjoy them. When I created the blends the idea was to make blends for all occasions. Rose Chai is more of an afternoon tea, it would go well with scones. While Green Nirvana is a midday to evening relaxation tea. I'll ask if Lina wants to do a poster about when to drink the different blends. We have many more blends for morning and bedtime.

      You're close to your goal! I am a Tea Enthusiast. So I am wondering, which is more popular, Rose Chai or Green Nirvana?

      I can't wait to try out your tea blends.
