I have received quite a few emails and phone calls from readers of this blog wondering why a company blog would promote competitor’s products and sites. I’d like to thank those for your concerns and loyalty to us. Please read further for why we do promote others.

The short of it is…why not?

In the scheme of things, we believe in promoting quality tea products from whatever company it may be. It is just how we feel. We believe in spreading the joys of tea however it can be done. In terms of promotion, I wouldn’t say that we are promoting Adagio or Republic of Tea, but merely informing the tea community of some interesting new products. In the long run, this can only help us as a company because the more educated people become about tea, the larger the proverbial pie gets. We can all benefit from this, both from a company standpoint as well as from a consumer standpoint.

Plus, we don’t want to use this tool as a promotional tool for Paper Street Teas. We absorbed the original Tea Villa site because we wanted the ability to share information from the tea world as well as our thoughts about products and the industry as a whole.

Plus, if you are reading this, you already know how great our teas are! =P

Thanks for reading and make yourself another cuppa!
