While most teas don't technically have an expiration date, they will lose flavor and potency over time, so I always say they're best consumed within a year, especially those that contain pieces of fruit. The same goes for our cocoa blends!

For reference, many big-brand bagged teas have a "best by" date that's two years out from the production date. Since our blends are made in small batches with the freshest ingredients we can get our hands on, we believe they're even better and more potent, but I still recommend consuming within one year to maximize the medicinal and health benefits of the herbs within.

Since we're a tiny micro-business, we do everything by hand, and we make all of our products in small batches, sometimes certain blends or sizes will be sold out in our Etsy shop. If it's a particular size you're waiting on, make sure to click the "Let me know when it's back" button on the product page - this will let us know what we need to restock and you'll get a notification when it's available again!

Not finding what you're looking for? We may occasionally remove some blends from our Etsy shop based on demand and to streamline our order fulfillment process, or they may simply appear to be sold out. However, you can always find our full selection at our website at www.mulberrycreektraditionals.com and it's likely you'll find it there!

Conventionally, dry goods are sold according to their net weight. As our different sizes are standardized by volume, the net WEIGHT in ounces varies for each blend, as blends with more roots and spices weigh much more than those made up of more dried leaves and flowers, even though the serving size is the same (approx. 1 tsp per cup brewed). While the net weight is listed on each package, we're still in the process of updating listings with their relative weights.

For comparison however, the ounces by VOLUME (how many Etsy sellers list their products) is as follows: samples (8 servings) are 1.3 oz, smalls (20 servings) are 3.3 oz, mediums (50 servings) are 8 oz, larges (75 servings) are 12 oz, and tins (90 servings) are 16 oz by volume.
