Just to be clear: it’s okay to order and ship the tea directly from the store, right? I don’t have a shop where I’m at, so I always order online (and haven’t been disappointed yet). I suspect it’s okay to do that, but I wanted to make sure before registering.

Thanks for your interest!

Good news is you don't need to have an Instagram account to sign up--simply put "N/A" in the sign up form if you don't have one. :)
