I wanted to give this company 5…
I wanted to give this company 5 stars... But my experience won't let me. I ordered my first 3 teas from them, looking for a Teavana replacement. 2 of the 3 teas were really good, and flavorful. But the 3rd tea, Kona Pineapple, was just stale. It had no taste, or smell. Like, it almost had a smell, but didn't. Lol. And we all know what that means. So I contacted the company to ask if I could return or exchange the stale tea. My question was ignored completely on the 1st email. They asked me for some 5 digit code that didn't exist. So I tried again. This time, they told me that I could return it, and told me where to go on their site to do it. So I did.... It turned out they wanted me to pay to ship back their stale tea. Since I only bought $8 worth of the Kona Pineapple, it didn't make any sense for me to stand in a line at the post office and pay an equivalent to that for shipping. So I emailed them again. This time, they ignored the email completely. So I emailed them again, this time past the 30 day window. They once again. Told me I have to pay to ship their crap back to them. I REALLY wanted to like this company. But they REALLY don't care about iether their quality of tea, or their customers. I've never had such a terrible experience with any tea retailer. I'm not saying I've never gotten damaged product. I once got a packet of tea that wasn't even closed from Teavana. They sent me a replacement as soon as I called about it. Rare occasions happen. I don't get why they don't admit this and take responsibility for their mistakes. Like, is this because it's not an American company? I'm not used to an entity so obviously not giving a damn.
