By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Education, not individualized advice

Being Tea Co provides general education and personal observation about tea, preparation, culture, storage, and products. Content is not medical, nutritional, legal, financial, or other individualized professional advice. Caffeine response, allergies, medication interactions, pregnancy, and health conditions are personal matters for a qualified clinician.

Recipes and safety

Brewing parameters are starting points, not universal standards. Use potable water, food-safe equipment, accurate product instructions, and your own judgment. Stop consuming a product if it appears contaminated or makes you feel unwell.

Original work and permitted sharing

Unless a page states otherwise, Being Tea Co owns its original writing, design, branding, and site organization. You may link to pages and quote brief portions with clear attribution for commentary, teaching, or review. Do not republish substantial portions, sell copies, remove attribution, train a competing content product on the site, or imply endorsement without written permission. Third-party sources and trademarks remain their owners’ property.

External links and future commerce

External sites control their own products, prices, availability, delivery, returns, warranties, privacy, and terms. A link is not a guarantee. Paid relationships are disclosed as described on the Disclosures page.

Availability and liability

The site and its content are provided on an as-available basis. We work to correct material errors but cannot promise uninterrupted access, complete accuracy, or that every linked source will remain available.
