Hello everyone and I hope all is well! :)
MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!! It was so lovely to see so many of you over the past several months. So many tea friends - old and new - and my brain is still whirling from the activity in the shop during that time. And for those of you who were not able to be there in person, your messages to me showed that you were definitely there in spirit! I thank all of you for celebrating the amazing place that we created together, right until the very end. Infuse was such a special place for so many for almost eleven years and it's spirit will live on in my heart and fond memories forever :)
I thank you all for the pre-orders. For the last several weeks I worked until 8:00 or 9:00 each night to fill these orders, which was so tremendously helpful in keeping the work in the shop flowing and helped to minimize wait times as best as it could have been. And I also thank you all for your patience as you still needed to wait, even with all the pre-orders. It was so busy these last several weeks and everything went by so fast - I wish I could have grabbed a few more minutes to spend with everyone.

It's amazing how much stuff was crammed into such a small space, but everything was out by the end of day Tuesday, 4/2. There was no longer any sign of the celebrations that had been taking place only days earlier....

I am keeping this newsletter short and will return with content in May. Below is some information that many of you have been requesting and I am providing, as promised. If I have missed anything that I said I would include, please let me know and I'll make sure it gets in May's newsletter!
As always, I appreciate your continued support of my small business!! Now I need to get some rest and then spend the next several weeks setting up my temporary workshop. See you next month :)
-- Kristine, FDN-P

Before the shop closed, I blended up fresh batches of Rooibos Tranquility Blend Organic Herbal Tisane and Calm Organic Herbal Tisane! :) | |

Moving Forward
- The online shop website pleasuresoftea.com remains open for orders if you forgot anything or did not get a chance to stock up before Infuse closed. As a reminder, there is currently a 3-4 week interruption in service until I can get my temporary workshop space set up. I anticipate shipping again by 5/1 and orders will be shipped in the order they are received. I already have several orders in the queue and this will increase as the month continues. Thanks to all of you who stocked up so well - you won't have to worry about any delays or running out of tea :)
- When you place your orders, PLEASE let me know what's new in the Comments section of the cart, if you would like to share. I have always enjoyed hearing about the things going on in your lives and I will miss this very much.
- I ran out of a few teas toward the end, but will work to get everything back in stock by the end of the month. Next week I will also begin working on cupping new season teas and other potential new offerings that I wasn't able to find time to do before the shop closed.
- When you create your accounts in the online shop, please let me know in the Comments section of the cart if you are seeing all of your purchase history since 2020 (online and in shop, if applicable) or not. Some accounts are automatically linking and others are not. I will be able to manually link them, but this will take some time, and the list that I'm putting together will tremendously help speed up the process.
-
I added my Thai Iced Tea "recipe" to the website, as promised. It is in the description for Thai Blend Black Tea. I have to admit that I am not inclined to follow or create recipes, so please let me know how it comes out and/or if I need to provide any clarifications.
- I always got lots of compliments on the music in the shop and inquiries on what I was playing. It was Pandora with years of thumbs up/down and a shuffle of the following artists: Rush, Godsmack, Staind, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Metallica, Tool, The Killers, Greta Van Fleet, Alice in Chains, AudioSlave, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, The Bravery, Silversun Pickups, Death Cab for Cutie, The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, and sprinkled with Frank Sinatra and The Glenn Miller Orchestra because these latter two remind me of one of my grandmas. So many other artists I probably should have added - Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Credence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Cash and so many more great authentic, talented artists.
- For those of you who requested sources for some of your favorites that I will no longer offer:
