What is the Seven Leaf Tea Company?
Seven leaf Tea Company was born in early 2014 in an effort to give tea drinkers access to handcrafted artisan teas from around the world. With a farm-to-cup approach, we want our customers to know not only where their tea came from, but to learn about the farmer and land where the tea is grown and produced.
We need your help to make our handcrafted, small batch teas available to the world. An integral tea experience isn't only about making the perfect cup of tea with the highest quality product, but also knowing where it comes from.
Where did the name come from?
Seven Leaf Tea Company was derived from the Buddhist doctrine Visuddhimagga. In English, it is known as The Path of Purification. There are seven steps of purification:
- Purification of Conduct
- Purification of Mind
- Purification of View
- Purification by Overcoming Doubt
- Purification by Knowledge and Vision of What Is Path and Not Path
- Purification by Knowledge and Vision of the Course of Practice
- Purification by Knowledge and Vision
Experiencing the perfect cup of tea is a purification of mind and body. The seven leaves of our logo each represent one of the tenants of the process.
Where are the funds going?
We're glad you asked! We need your help to raise $10,000! Like any business, there are a variety of tasks, tools and items that are essential to opening the doors! While our needs aren't incredible unique, funds raised from this campaign will fund the following:

- Online Advertising
If you have any detailed questions concerning any of the above items, don't hesitate to reach out and we'll answer any question you have!
What have you done so far?
So far, a logo has been created to give the company an identity. In addition to the branding, several batches of custom tea blends have been mixed and distributed locally to friends and family. The feedback has been tremendous so far! We need your help bringing the business to the next level!
Perk Delivery
I plan to to have all of the perks ready for delivery by January 15th, 2015. If for whatever reason that date doesn't work, I will be sure to update you with a revised date.
What if the campaign doesn't get fully funded?
I have chosen the flexible funding option so that even if the target $10,000 is raised, I will use whatever funds are raised and towards all of the required items listed above and use my own funding to ensure that the project launches to completion.
