Customer Service Policy

Our Customer Service Commitment

We believe that excellent customer service is an essential part of a positive online shopping experience.

From discovering a new tea blend to receiving an order at home, customers deserve clear information, respectful communication, and practical assistance whenever they need support.

Our Customer Service Policy explains the principles and procedures that guide how we assist customers before, during, and after a purchase.

We aim to make shopping for loose leaf teas, tea bags, herbal infusions, tea gifts, treats, and teaware simple, welcoming, and dependable.

Whether a customer has a question about a product, needs an order update, or wishes to request a return, our support team is here to help.

Our Service Philosophy

Our approach to customer service is built around four core principles: respect, clarity, fairness, and accountability.

Respectful Communication

Every customer deserves professional and courteous treatment.

We aim to listen carefully, understand each inquiry, and provide a thoughtful response.

We value customer feedback and recognize that individual concerns may require different forms of assistance.

Clear Information

We believe customers should receive understandable explanations of our products, ordering procedures, shipping arrangements, returns, and refund policies.

We strive to avoid confusing language and provide practical next steps whenever possible.

Fair Resolution

We aim to evaluate customer concerns objectively and apply store policies consistently.

When an issue requires investigation, we consider relevant information before determining the appropriate resolution.

Continuous Improvement

Customer feedback helps us understand where our shopping experience can be improved.

We review recurring concerns and use relevant insights to identify opportunities to improve communication, product information, fulfillment procedures, and service quality.

How to Contact Customer Support

Customers can reach our support team through the contact options published on our website.

Available contact methods may include the Contact Us page, online contact forms, email communication, or other support features made available through the store.

When submitting an inquiry, customers should provide enough detail for our team to understand the request.

Information That May Be Helpful

Depending on the inquiry, useful information may include:

• Customer name.

• Order number.

• Product name or variation.

• Shipping or tracking information.

• Brief description of the concern.

• Relevant photographs, where appropriate.

• Preferred contact information.

Providing accurate information helps us locate order records and respond effectively.

Customers should not send complete payment card numbers, account passwords, or other unnecessary sensitive credentials through ordinary support messages.

Customer Support Availability

Our website provides access to product information and online shopping services throughout the day, subject to occasional maintenance or technical interruptions.

Customer support requests can be submitted through the available contact methods.

Support responses are handled according to team availability, inquiry volume, and the complexity of each matter.

Certain questions may require coordination with fulfillment providers, shipping carriers, payment services, or other operational partners.

We aim to respond as promptly as reasonably possible and communicate relevant developments when additional investigation is required.

Pre-Purchase Assistance

We understand that choosing tea products online may involve questions about ingredients, flavor profiles, product variations, preparation methods, or accessories.

Our support team aims to assist customers in understanding the information available through our product listings.

Product Selection

Customers may request clarification about available tea categories, product descriptions, or purchasing options.

We aim to direct customers toward relevant product information without applying unnecessary pressure to complete a purchase.

Ingredient Information

Customers who have questions about ingredients should consult individual product listings and may contact us for clarification where additional information is available.

We cannot guarantee that every product is suitable for every dietary preference, sensitivity, or medical circumstance.

Customers with ingredient-related health concerns should consult an appropriate professional.

Teaware Questions

Customers may seek information about the dimensions, materials, intended use, or care instructions of available accessories.

Our team may provide relevant product details based on available manufacturer or supplier information.

Order Placement Support

We aim to provide a straightforward checkout experience.

Customers may contact support if they encounter difficulties relating to product selection, shopping cart behavior, payment confirmation, or the order submission process.

Our team may guide customers through available checkout options or help identify the nature of a technical issue.

For security purposes, customers should complete sensitive payment steps through the authorized checkout system rather than sharing confidential payment credentials with support representatives.

Order Confirmation and Updates

After an order is submitted, customers should receive confirmation through the contact information provided at checkout.

Customers who do not receive confirmation should first verify that the contact details entered were accurate and check any relevant message folders.

If confirmation remains unavailable, our support team may assist with locating the order.

When requesting an update, customers should provide their order number or other appropriate identifying information.

We may need to verify relevant account details before disclosing order information.

Order Processing Assistance

Our standard order processing period is generally 1–3 days following successful payment confirmation.

During this period, an order may undergo verification, preparation, packaging, and fulfillment procedures.

Customers who wish to correct an address, modify an order, or request cancellation should contact our support team as soon as possible.

We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate changes before dispatch.

However, changes may no longer be possible once an order enters a later fulfillment stage.

Shipping and Delivery Support

We offer free standard shipping worldwide on all products.

Estimated shipping transit is approximately 6–12 days following dispatch.

Our team can assist with general shipping questions, tracking information, delivery concerns, and issues involving shipping addresses.

Tracking Assistance

Customers who receive tracking information may use the available carrier link or tracking reference to follow their shipment.

If tracking information is unavailable or unclear, our support team may help review the available records.

Delayed Deliveries

When a shipment experiences an unexpected delay, we may review tracking information and request clarification from the shipping provider.

Delivery estimates can change because of transportation conditions, customs processing, weather, and other operational circumstances.

We aim to provide relevant updates when available.

Missing Packages

If a package has not arrived despite a delivery confirmation, customers should contact us after checking the designated delivery location.

Our team may investigate available delivery records and determine whether additional carrier inquiries are appropriate.

Damaged Shipments

Customers who receive damaged products should contact support and provide photographs where reasonably possible.

We will review the circumstances and explain available replacement, return, or refund options.

Returns and Exchanges

We provide a 60-day return period for eligible products.

Approved eligible returns qualify for free standard return shipping.

Customers should contact our support team before sending products back so we can review eligibility and provide return instructions.

Return Assistance

Our team can help customers understand:

• Whether a product meets return conditions.

• How to submit a return request.

• Which information may be required.

• How to prepare the product for return.

• How authorized free return shipping is arranged.

• What happens after the returned product is received.

Exchanges

Where exchanges are supported, availability may depend on inventory and return eligibility.

If a direct exchange cannot be arranged, customers may be offered a return and refund followed by a new purchase.

Consumable products may be subject to additional hygiene and safety conditions.

Refund Assistance

Approved refunds are generally processed within 5–10 days.

Refunds are ordinarily returned through the original payment method.

Financial institutions and payment providers may require additional time to display refunded funds.

Customers may contact our support team if they need clarification about the status of a refund.

We may review payment records and provide available transaction information.

Our team cannot guarantee the exact posting time controlled by a customer's payment provider.

Incorrect, Missing, or Defective Products

We understand that receiving an incorrect or damaged product can be frustrating.

Customers who experience such issues are encouraged to contact us with their order details.

Incorrect Products

If a customer receives a product that differs from the item ordered, we may request photographs to verify the discrepancy.

After review, an appropriate resolution may include replacement or refund.

Missing Products

If an order appears incomplete, our team may verify whether it was divided into multiple packages.

If an item is confirmed missing, we will work toward an appropriate corrective solution.

Defective Products

Customers who receive a product with a suspected defect should discontinue use where safety is a concern and notify our support team.

We may request additional information to assess the issue.

Customer remedies will be determined according to product condition, available evidence, and applicable rights.

Product Quality Concerns

We want customers to enjoy the products they purchase.

If a tea product appears compromised, incorrectly labeled, damaged, or otherwise unsuitable for ordinary use, customers should contact our support team.

For safety-related concerns, customers should avoid consuming the affected item.

When reviewing a complaint, we may ask for product photographs, packaging details, or relevant identifying information.

We aim to handle quality reports responsibly and seek a suitable resolution.

Complaints and Dispute Resolution

We believe complaints should be handled respectfully and transparently.

When a customer raises a concern, our team will seek to understand the issue and review relevant information.

Our Review Process

Customer complaints may be handled through the following stages:

1. Receiving and acknowledging the concern.

2. Reviewing order or account information.

3. Requesting clarification when necessary.

4. Investigating relevant records.

5. Identifying available resolutions.

6. Communicating the outcome.

7. Reviewing further information if the customer disputes the initial decision.

More complicated cases may require additional time, particularly when third-party delivery or payment information is involved.

We aim to explain any relevant limitations and available next steps.

Customers retain applicable consumer and payment dispute rights.

Customer Feedback

We welcome constructive feedback about our products, website, shipping experience, and customer support.

Feedback helps us understand customer expectations and identify opportunities for improvement.

We may use general feedback to improve product descriptions, navigation, service procedures, and other aspects of the online shopping experience.

Submitting feedback does not require a customer to make an additional purchase.

We appreciate customers who share their experiences thoughtfully.

Customer Privacy and Confidentiality

Customer service interactions may involve personal information.

We aim to handle such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and relevant operational requirements.

Support representatives may need to access order details to verify a request or resolve an issue.

We seek to limit access to information necessary for authorized service activities.

Customers should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through general support forms.

When identity verification is required, we aim to request information appropriate to the purpose of the inquiry.

Professional and Respectful Conduct

We aim to maintain a respectful environment for customers and customer service representatives.

Our team is expected to communicate professionally and provide fair assistance.

We also ask customers to communicate respectfully and avoid threats, harassment, fraudulent claims, or abusive behavior.

We may take proportionate steps to protect staff and maintain safe communication channels when serious misconduct occurs.

Such measures will not eliminate legitimate customer rights or prevent appropriate access to required remedies.

Customer Service Limitations

Although we strive to provide helpful and dependable assistance, some matters depend on external providers.

Examples include:

• Carrier tracking systems.

• Customs processing.

• Payment provider timelines.

• Financial institution procedures.

• External service interruptions.

• Product availability.

• Delivery restrictions.

We may not be able to directly control these processes.

However, we aim to assist customers by reviewing information, communicating with relevant partners when appropriate, and explaining available options.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe customers should understand important shopping conditions before placing an order.

Our website provides separate policies addressing shipping, refunds, privacy, purchases, and website use.

Customers are encouraged to review these resources whenever clarification is needed.

If information appears inconsistent, customers may contact our support team for assistance.

We aim to correct material inaccuracies and provide clear explanations of our current store procedures.
