Are all your teas always in stock?
No, at APinkTeapot we pay attention to freshness of our teas to give you the best taste possible. When we receive our international teas they are vacuum sealed so when we package your order we make sure that the balance is just as vacuum sealed for freshness as received. This is another reason why we offer you a individual tea order form, so if you don't see your favorite tea listed we can order it and have it to you usually within a week.
