Tealet - Farm-Direct Tea Marketplace now accepts Bitcoin

[Tealet]

Greetings Bitcoin community,

Tealet is on a mission to cut out the inefficiencies in the global tea distribution system; securing more profits for the producer and better quality tea for the consumer. We are now accepting Bitcoin as payment for our farm-direct tea so we can cut out some of the inefficiencies of our global financial systems.

We passionately believe that society can all make wiser consumption decisions if we are better connected with producers and can interact on a transparent platform.

Our network of growers includes 20 farmers from 9 different countries. They are producing an array of loose-leaf tea coming from a single origin, preserving the unique terroir of every farm.

We hope you will join us on an exploration around the world through tea. Develop into a tea connoissuer through our popular bi-monthly Global Tea Taster subscription. Be one of the first to complete payment with Bitcoin to receive a FREE sample of Hawaii Grown Tea.*

I can confirm that this company is legit, and the teas are of excellent quality and delicious.  I went to business school with Elyse and was one of the first customers of her premium tea subscription service.  I am delighted that they took the next step in accepting Bitcoin payment.  One of their next steps is to figure out how to further streamline the business by using Bitcoin to pay the farmers directly in the 9 countries, which would be both faster and lower cost than existing methods of international payments.

This is a huge step for Hawaii, and I can't think of a better business to be a champion and an early embracer of Bitcoin. This is the kind of company we as a community need to support and advocate for as the effects of the conscious consumerism that Tealet promotes can have have a positive impact on the global Bitcoin economy.

Thumbs up. Just emailed them and looking forward to have them as our suppliers in our near future planned tea house.

Interesting, I'll check it out.

bookmarked the site.
love the design
gotta love the fact that tea is quite easy to send by mail

Maybe will order something in the future, but thing I've most interested in - buying some real Stevia with bitcoins. Not a tea, but kinda close to it. You could distribute it as well, as a byproduct, for those who like their tea sweet but healthy.

UPD:IMHO in the "growers" page some photoshopped photos look really off-putting.

Very nice!!!

edit: Anyway the best tea is from Sri Lanka. You should reach out to estates there.

Nice, I'll take a look at your site

[moltenmich]

Definitely going to check this out. Will probably order something in the near future!

Do you have anything like Yogi's St. John's Wart? Does wonders for my anxiety.

edit: deleted link, don't wanna be a douche.

Mahalo for the comments. We are definitely thinking about the possibilities we could have in other industries, it's just a matter of time. We are trying really hard to prove this out in tea first and then experiment with other globally traded high quality products.

That was a fun video our friend made for us! Thanks for checking out our Vimeo page, we have many other videos. Let us know if you have an idea for one and we can make it!

Great business concept. It looks like Bitcoin was made for this. I hope so much so have success in cutting out middleman. Do you plan to expand to Europe?

Tealet ships to customers around the world including Europe.  Customs delays vary by country though.

[lophie]

Eh my wife's order is still stuck somewhere either the US or the Philippines.... 

[Tealet]

We are happy that many of you have received and enjoyed your tea already.  For the international orders that have yet to arrive I am very sorry. This is something that we are learning about. Customs of different countries treat shipments differently. Sometimes orders take days or sometimes weeks. We will follow up with everyone individually to see if you received your order or if we will need to ship another.

Thank you for your support and patience!

[Tealet]

Aloha,

I just wanted to update everyone that we have been quite happy with the launch of Bitcoin payment on our website. It is opened us up to the world of Bitcoin and now we are working with people around the globe to see if there are more ways that we can apply bitcoin to our business.
