Our Explanation:
I want you to know that this decision was not made lightly. The holiday season, especially November and December, is a crazy time for us, making up almost half of our yearly revenue.
As a one-woman show, ensuring every order meets our high standards becomes increasingly challenging with our extensive product range.
By simplifying our offerings to only our top sellers, we hope to create a smoother experience for both sides. Rest assured, the products we chose to discontinue were carefully selected based on sales data and your feedback 🤎
What You Need to Know:
- All products will be available until October 31st. Make sure to stock up on your favorites before the changes on November 1st.
- Our products have a long shelf life; they won't expire until 2024 or later.
- Most of the discontinued products will return in the new year.
Change is never easy, but it’s an essential part of our growth journey. Thank you for understanding as we navigate these new adjustments 😊
Thank you for being part of our Retea communi-TEA. Stay tuned for more updates and continue to spread the bubble tea love!
With love,
Toby (Founder)
