🤷‍♀️Why should I bother to wait? – You might have noticed that we often have tea that is only available on back order or pre-order. Why can’t Xian Tea manage their stock like any other retailer? Why do I have to wait for so long?
We believe that we have some good reasons why – the international supply chain is clearly broken but we want the instant gratification of having something now. No waiting.
For smaller farmers and tea companies this comes at an enormous cost – what do people want and how much? In the past this problem has been mainly solved by buying large batches – scalability is the key. But this often results in waste or tea that is much older than it needs to be, because the reason a certain tea is popular is complex. As a company you need to spend a lot of money on marketing and discounts… just to sell out the stock. Farmers are faced with less predictability, brands as well and you have a more scalable product but not always the tastier one. That’s why we think pre-order could be one key of solving this problem – you get exactly how much you want (with a little waiting), we can plan very accurately and the farmer as well. Cycles become slower and changes make more sense for the environment.
