Frequently Asked Questions

Web site technical questions

. I get a warning that says "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items"




Is my personal information secure on Essencha.com?

It's common for customers to be concerned about their passwords and personal information on the Internet. At Essencha we work hard to preserve your information.

Here's how to tell you're shopping on a secure site:

• SSL Encryption: If you look at the address bar above, you will see it starting with "https" on pages that contain sensitive information. HTTPS is the highest industry standard 128-bit encryption software. We use "HTTPS" to secure every page on our site that contains sensitive information.

• Database Encryption: Many companies don't even encrypt user passwords. At Essencha, passwords are encrypted using a very robust encryption algorithm.

• In-House Developer: That's right. We have a programmer on staff that maintains and monitors our website and database and strives to protect your information.

Can I place an order by phone?

Sure! Feel free to call us at 513.533.4832.

How do I reset my password on Essencha.com?

You can reset your password anytime you forget it by accessing the login page. While on the page, enter your email address that you registered with, then click the "Forgot you Password" link below the login section. If your email is matched with your email on file, a new password will be generated and emailed to you.
Once you receive the email, copy your new password into your clipboard (by right clicking it and choosing "Copy") and type it in the password field on essencha.com. Then click the "Login" button. Once you login, we highly recommend that you reset your password to a new password that you can easily remember. You can do so by clicking the "Account" link on the top navigation. From there, you can access the password page by clicking the "Reset Password" link on the left navigation.
If you have any trouble with this, feel free to call our store at 513-533-4832 and we will be glad to walk you through the process.

How many cups of tea does 4 oz. yield?

Generally, 4 oz. of tea will yield about 50 cups of tea. If you do the math, 4 oz. of our black flavored teas will cost you on average 13 cents per cup! Now that's a luxury you can afford to treat yourself and friends to!

How do I store my tea?

Orders for small and medium sizes will come packaged in sturdy tins, and orders for largest sizes will come packed in our reclosable, air tight rice paper bags. Never store your tea in the fridge or freezer, and store your tea away from heat and direct light, making sure that the seal is tightly closed on your tin or paper bag.

How long will my tea stay fresh?

We take pride in knowing when our tea was plucked and processed so that we can offer you the freshest tea available. Tea has a shelf life, and so keep this in mind when ordering. We recommend you consume your black, oolong, and rooibos teas within a year, and your greens, whites, and herbals within 6 months. Once you get your tea, drink it! Don't shove it to the back of your cabinet, saving it for a "special occasion." Celebrate the little things in life with your tea, and seize the moment!

How soon after I place my order will it be processed?

Your order will be processed and shipped promptly after you place it. Normally orders ship between 1 to 3 days of the order receipt. Please note that we don't ship during holidays, or weekends.

Do you accept returns?

Your satisfaction is the reason we are in business, and we will do what it takes to make you happy. If you are unhappy with your order, we will take back an item purchased within 21 days of receipt with the exception of our sample sized teas. We do not cover the cost of shipping the unwanted items back to us unless we sent something in error.

Do you have gift certificates?

Essencha Gift Certificates are always the perfect size and fit, and are available for purchase by emailing Essencha or calling us at 513.533.4832. You can redeem your gift certificate online or in our store using the instructions provided on your gift certificates.
