PRE-BUY THE HARVEST · SINCE 2023

Pay before the pick.

A pre-buy platform for tea collectors. Fund the harvest at the source. Pay before pick, lock in the kilo rate, receive at press, ship at finish. Used by collectors, by tea bars stocking the cellar, by people who buy by the cake. Not investing — just earlier purchasing.
