I had the Du Hamam tea there and it was one of the best I ever had! I'll write it up soon. I also like the Black Vanilla Orchid tea from Serendipitea, Hojicha from Ito En and the Tropical Peony tea from Tavalon. Shuna-- Shops should ask for proof of insurance for your product, but from my experience they never do. In order to get insurance you have to be baking from an approved kitchen, not your home. (You should have insurance anyway since you never know what will happen. Someone could choke on a crumb and suddenly they'll sue you.) You can give away samples of your product for free and be protected from lawsuits, but once someone decides to buy you are liable. I know of a million different places that start out baking in their kitchen and no one asks. I even heard of someone who was selling to Dean & Deluca like this. Amai does use an approved kitchen source and has insurance -- suprisingly it is pretty affordable. I’m in Los Angeles right now and just had the pleasure of drinking tea at Jin Patisserie.

Like a certificate or proof that you weren't just baking them in your home? (I have a very tiny business idea...Nothing as big as this, but am still interested in some of the minutae.) I look forward to being an internet customer. I’m just wondering, from a business perspective, did the businesses who ordered your product need anything from you?

Congratulations on your new venture, I know that you will do great! I happen to really like Irish Breakfast Tea at the moment... of course Orange Sprice might be good too. I don't really know how you could do it, but it would be interesting to create a flavor that tasted like tea with cream and sugar... now that would be amazing! Those cookies sound GREAT!

Sadly, they are still wrapped in their packaging as I'm going to photograph them first. Then I'm sure they'll be gone really fast. :-) Out of curiosity, what kind of teas have you tried or like?

Maybe a variaty with rooibos tea (or do you say red bush in English?) might work? Sounds good! Maybe a variaty with rooibos tea (or do you say red bush in English?) might work?
