Steeped Tea's motto is "It's who you share it with" and consultants follow this same philosophy; it is all about getting friends and family together to enjoy a cup of tea. Steeped Tea Consultants offer an at-home tea party experience. Consultants are supplied with business kits and bring teas for brewing and tasting. Attendees can then purchase any teas or accessories they want from the catalog. Consultants also have a virtual Shopping Cart in which non-attendee customers can purchase from.
