Default Tea survey

We have developed some herb teas on our farm, and now we are trying to actually develop them as money-making products.

http://baianicchia.blogspot.com/2012...-grey-dog.html

As part of our effort to develop our farm-crafted teas, we are collecting information on our customers' tea drinking preferences. We would be very grateful if you can help us by completing the quick online survey at the link below.

We are interested in hearing from tea drinkers, herbal tea drinkers and non-tea drinkers!

Hi Kurt,

We have been selling herb teas (all ingredients grown by us), but now that we are growing that side of the business we can't grow everything. Plus, now we are starting to use blends with "real" tea as well.

Hi Zana,

We will definitely be shipping to Canada. Our tea website should be up in the next week or two.

Hi Kurt, We are in the same boat you are. We are supposed to get a couple of plants from the tea wholesaler we are buying from. I have lots of experience growing herbs, but non with tea!

Same here. We are planning on growing our tea plants in the greenhouse in pots. Mainly for show.
