Some important things to remember about this service:
- You have complete flexibility on when you receive your boxes. Skip a month, receive one every other month or any combination of plans. Just let us know! (Please keep in mind that each month has a limited number of boxes and priority will be given to those that sign up first)
- Subscriptions DO NOT renew automatically. When you are close to running out of boxes we will let you know and you will have to manually rebuy some tea boxes. This is due to Shopify Taiwan lacking access to many subscription apps. We are working on the problem and will hopefully have it fixed soon!
- Cancel at any time for a full refund of any unsent boxes. (Service charges may apply from payment gateways)
- Monthly 'Themes' and included product details will be announced 2-3 months in advance. If you aren't interested in a month's theme, you can skip it.
- When you buy 3, 6 or 12 boxes they will arrive once a month.
- Shipping is free for all boxes.
I've subscribed to several beverage subscriptions and THIS is by far the best! Educational, engaging and keeps me excited for the next month. You can see the labor of love that Matt puts into each box. The whole process of tea making is highlighted with this service which makes it soar above the rest out there. As they say, "HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
This box was done so beautifully well!! It was a virtual teahouse experience in a PACKAGE. Nothing was left out or overlooked or "assumed knowledge"...and the excitement over the Mystery Tea was HIGH and did not disappoint! The tea, business card!! and exotic experience of an offering from the famous Wistaria Teahouse was totally unexpected and seriously awesome--as is my delight with Mountain Stream Teas and their staff.
This is THE subscription service to have if you want to learn about Taiwanese teas. Each month's box has been very educational and packed with exceptional teas. And I love the inclusion of a mystery tea each month that makes for a fun blind tasting! Not only do you get wonderful teas with a theme to each months box but you also get to know more about the farmers behind the teas. Whether you're looking to dive deeper into tea knowledge or just want high quality teas delivered monthly then this service is for you!
This box arrived quickly and in good condition. I especially like that the packaging is efficient- it fit right into my mailbox! The tea itself was beautifully packaged with clear brewing instructions. It was fun to learn about the tea and be able to understand how and why grades and tastes are affected. It is obvious that this company has real knowledge about and passion for tea.
Side note: they are very fast to respond via email/social media!
