I am sure there would be many who may even be able to draw a wrapper or label that you could produce as well. no, not really. We have a new blend coming in within few weeks. The wrapp...

Re: Design for tea cake

There are several designers on TeaForum, if you share a few examples of your favourite wrappings that would help to clear the path forward, and would be interesting to see as well. I'm not sure if I have some favourites though. I mean , I don't really look on others what they print on their cakes. ...

Design for tea cake

My drawing skills are limited ( 8y old child level I guess ) , so I was wondering if anybody here knows some tea lover who could draw something up? We offer either to pay for art via Paypal , or we can send a cake ( with that design ) as a gift and give a credit ( name of the designer ) on product d...

Re: Where do you buy your gaiwans?

The porcelain is a daily use utensil , so also have to count with the damage time of the time. If you are experienced or lucky enough , that can go for expensive stuff , otherwise I wouldn't recommend anything over 10-15$ ( depending on your pocket ). That's the price I'm talking about if buy from o...

At least I could only get by with an invoice that didn't detail the contents ba...
