Why we built BuildaTea
The U.S. tea industry runs on “contact us for a quote.” We built the alternative.
A good blend should be able to travel from an idea to a production run. Too often it stops halfway, at a minimum nobody can meet, a quote that takes weeks, or a co-packer who will not look below a container.
We built BuildaTea so that the first question gets a straight answer. What will this cost, made properly, at a volume I can actually sell? You configure the run, the price appears, and the rules are written down where you can read them.
