Kickstarter

Hi All,

I am happy to finally say we started shipping out rewards as of this past Friday and hope to have everything wrapped up by end of this week.  I want to extend an extra huge thanks for your patience as I realize we missed our original fulfillment date a couple times over.

Please submit your comments, ideas and feedback through the contact form on the Tea for Tyrants website.

We are happy to learn from you about how we can improve our product from here.  All of you made it possible for us to launch this idea into the world and for that we are eternally grateful. 

We look forward to hearing from you and please keep in touch!

Best,

Phil & Andy

PS: Several folks have not responded to the Kickstarter survey requesting your shipping information.  Please make sure to get that to us if you haven't already so we know where to send your stuff.  

Hi Everyone!

It's been a whirlwind of activity since the successful completion of our Kickstarter campaign and high time you received an update from us so here goes:

The bulk order of green tea from the tea farm in Japan has arrived safely and completely at our Charlotte, NC office.  

We are currently working on engraving printing plates to block print the tea cards and going over label designs for the tea tins.

Next we will begin printing the tea cards, packaging the tea and finalizing music files for delivery. 

At this point we are running about 2 weeks behind schedule on production but we will keep you posted with progress from here on out.  Please look out for a notification from us in the next week or so as we need to collect shipping address information from anyone who ordered tea.

Thanks so much for your support and let us know if you have any questions in the meantime.

Talk to you soon,

Phil & Andy

Wow 30 days goes by quick! It has been a roller coaster ride but we are so happy and thankful to see our project reach its funding goal!! Thanks to everyone who backed the project by pledging and/or sharing it with friends and fans.

We are doing one last Valentine's Day push in hopes of getting the total amount to $8500. What this will allow us to do is add 2 additional bands and tea varieties to the Tea for Tyrants line up.

It would be extremely awesome if everyone could send one last tweet or post to help get the word out.

We already have some great new bands submitting music for consideration. We can't wait to get started and excited to deliver tea and tunes to all of you.

See you soon,

Phil & Andy

We have surpassed 90% funding with just 3 days left!

We've decided to pair an additional artist with tea for every $500 pledged in the last 3 days. Reaching our goal seemed unrealistic just a few weeks back. SO A HUGE thanks to everyone for their support!  

That is one extra artist if we hit our goal of $7500 and two if we can get to $8000! 

There are three easy ways to help:  

• Remind a friend about the project (share http://kck.st/ZRdfAe)
• Increase your pledge - Just $5 more from everyone would add another band!
• Tell a musician or send their music to info@teafortyrants.com

Thanks again for all your support of the project and we look forward to shipping you an awesome experience of tea and music.

Here's to a great month!

Hey Everyone!

We wanted you to start Monday properly with a track from Tea for Tyrants featured artist Her Vanished Grace. The NYC based band produces a power dream pop sound that resembles the silent hurt and loud noisy joy of life on Earth. 

Check out “Dawning” from their album Star-Crossed:

And as always - make sure to tell your friends about the Tea for Tyrants project. 10 days left to make the combination of awesome music and quality loose-leaf tea a reality.

We can’t do this without your help so PLEASE SHARE! We are almost to 100 backers! 

Peace - 

The Tea for Tyrants Team
