Dear Tea Maineiacs
After 12 amazing years of steeping, serving, and sharing our love for tea, we have made the difficult decision to close the "brick & mortar" portion of our beloved tea shop at the end of this year. This decision is bittersweet because of the very exciting news we received back in March. We will be welcoming our first grandchild into our family in November (YAAA a new . This has been an incredible journey, and it is with hearts full of gratitude that we announce our plans to keep sharing our love and passion for tea by transitioning to a strictly online and wholesale model. This will allow us more time to source, blend, and introduce new teas to our ever growing tea selection. And of course, it will also allow us more time to spend as doting grandparents.
Your unwavering support and loyalty have been the heart of our tea community, and we are deeply thankful for each and every one of you. The countless cups of tea shared, stories exchanged, and friendships formed have made our journey truly special. As we embark on this next exciting chapter, we’re excited to continue serving you in new ways, bringing the same quality and passion for tea directly to your homes. For those of you that have been regular online shoppers with us, this transition will have no impact on the service, and quality of tea you have come to expect and enjoy from us over the years.
We will remain open and well stocked with tea and lots of tea accessories through the end of this year. Holiday shopping has already begun for many! We very much look forward to staying connected and are strongly committed to making sure your tea experience remains as delicious and delightful as ever. Be sure to keep an eye out for updates and special offerings as we move closer to our transition. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any concerns, questions, or any tea-related needs.
Thank you, "Tea Maineiacs", for making our vision such an incredible and successful 12 year journey. Here’s to new beginnings, many more years, and many more cups of TEA!
