As we look forward to our next 21 years of sharing tea and joy, we find ourselves navigating a shifting landscape. From steep rises in global shipping and packaging costs to the complex web of tariffs, processing fees, and administrative surcharges, the "hidden" costs of bringing exceptional tea to your door have increased significantly in this past year. While these external pressures are real, our primary commitment remains to you—our community. We are working diligently behind the scenes to absorb as much of these increases as possible, streamlining our operations without ever compromising the quality of the leaf or the personal care that goes into every package.
At Mandala Tea, we view our business as a practice of connection rather than just a series of transactions. We want to keep our teas accessible because we believe that a moment of peace over a warm cup shouldn't be a luxury. Balancing the health of our business with the loyalty of our customers is a journey of stewardship that we take seriously. We are so grateful for your continued support, which allows us to keep the water boiling and the circle growing. Thank you for being the most vital part of our practice; we are honored to keep sharing this path with you.
