Greetings one and all!

Welcome to the random musings of the Head Genie of Scentbyspirit.com! I am sure the helper genies may post too.

There are many random thoughts and ideas that run through my head each day, so we thought this may be an excellent way to capture them for ourselves. It may also give you some insights to the inner workings of our company or just my brain. (scary I know!)

Today as I was packing up orders I found yet another object in a tea bag. You may think WHAT? OMG that is soooo gross.... I am here to assure that this is quite common. My mind has turned this over and over wondering how to educate and help customers and the public at large understand this phenomenon if it ever happens to you.

First we are dealing in organic matter that comes out of the ground, a variety of plants to be exact. The plants are typically hand harvested and put into large woven baskets. Then they are taken through whatever processing they need for the type of tea they are to become. Then they are put into large burlap or plastic type burlap bags or other containers to be shipped to auction. From there to distributors and packaging plants. Millions of pounds of tea are harvested and processed every year. At some point, somewhere there is bound to be a twig, string, rock or some other object may end up in a bag. When we re-package and make our blends we do work hard to sort anything we find (it doesn't happen often) out. Alas, occasionally you may find one of these inanimate objects in your tin or bag. If so, simply throw it out. We have it on good authority that they do not effect the taste of the tea or compromise its integrity at all. :)

So, again waiter there is a rock in my tea and thanks for fishing it out for me. ;)
