- Orders or payments received after the monthly cutoff may be scheduled for the following month’s shipment.
Tea Club shipments are sent via standard shipping unless you have selected an upgraded shipping method in your subscription preferences.

7. International Shipping
For international orders, please note the following:
Customs, Duties, and Taxes

- We are unable to predict the exact amount of customs charges, as they vary by country.
Customs Delays

Missing Packages
If your tracking information shows your package as delivered but you have not received it:
- Check with neighbors, building management, or household members.
- Look for a delivery notice or attempted delivery notification.

Address Changes

- Address changes can only be accommodated if the order has not yet been dispatched.
- Once an order has shipped, we are unable to redirect the package. You may need to arrange a return and place a new order.
For Tea Club subscribers, please ensure your shipping address is kept up to date in your account settings to avoid delivery issues with recurring shipments.
10. Packaging
We take care to package all orders securely to protect your tea and teaware during transit.
- Tea products are sealed in airtight, light-protected packaging to preserve freshness and flavor.
- Teaware and fragile items are wrapped with protective materials to minimize the risk of damage.
- Gift orders may include special packaging or gift wrapping as described at checkout.
We are committed to reducing packaging waste where possible and are working toward more sustainable packaging solutions.
If you have specific packaging requests (such as gift wrapping or plastic-free packaging), please add a note at checkout or contact us before your order is processed.
