This is one delicious tea. This cup is all sweet potato and bittersweet chocolate.

Thank you, Teavivre, for the sample of this tea.

And thank you also for being such a generous supporter of all of us here on Steepster. And yes, yes, I realize that we support you too through our reviews and our purchases, but your fairness, decency, and generosity—in addition to your reliable product and excellent customer service— goes a long long way, especially when we witness various tricks of other vendors. So thank you.

I echo your sentiment about Teavivre. I really respect them as a tea company for their honesty, customer service, and of course the fabulous teas!

I was reminded of this by a recent contest posted here in Steepster in which the random free tea winners were apparently cherry-picked by the tea vendor. Out of principle, I will not ever support such a vendor. Ever.
