An email address is only used to convey information to the customer such as
confirming an order has been placed, when the order was sent out with which
shipper, the tracking number to follow the status of the order, and if
there are any problems with the order. The address information is only
used to deliver the package and phone number is to quickly contact the customer
if an unexpected problem arises.We do not sell or share your email,
phone, and address information with third parties for marketing
purposes. You will only receive the Ten Tea promotional newsletters
via email
if you have specifically requested them during checkout. You may also
chose to opt out of the promotional newsletters when you receive one. Otherwise,
the automatic default is that you do not receive any promotional newsletters.

From your description, it sounds like you may have the cookies turned off on
your internet browser. If you enable the cookies on your browser, things
should no longer get replaced on the shopping cart. You can disable
the cookies again after you have completed your transaction. If you
are still having difficulties, please let us know and we can place an order
for you.

6) I placed an order more than a day ago and have not received any
emails confirming the order or shipping. How do I know my order went through?
When you place an order through the internet, upon conclusion you should
receive an order number and an email confirmation of
that order later the same day. Also, when the order ships out
from the warehouse (which is usually within 2 business days), you should receive another email with the tracking information for the
package. If you did not get any of these emails or an order number,
it
is most likely that your order did not go through. Please contact us by email, customer-service@tentea.com
and we would be happy to search
our systems for your order.
7) Is there caffeine in tea?
Yes, teas that came from the Camellia sinensis plant such as Green Tea,
Oolong Tea, and Black Tea do contain caffeine. When compared with a
cup of coffee, a cup of Green or White Tea has roughly about 1/8 the caffeine of a
cup of coffee. A cup of Oolong Tea has roughly about 1/4 the caffeine
of a cup of coffee. A cup of Black Tea has roughly about 1/2 the caffeine
of a cup of coffee. Some herbal teas can be caffeine free (which
contain no caffeine) when they do not contain any of the Camellia sinensis
plant. Decaffeinated teas such as decaffeinated green tea will contain
less caffeine than their traditional counterparts but is not considered caffeine
free.
8) Do all teas come from the same plant?
Most teas do come from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis. The Camellia
Sinensis is the plant that produces, Green Tea, Black Tea, Oolong Tea,
Pu-Erh Tea, and TiKuanYin tea. The differences in these teas is not
the species of the tea plant but the difference in the processing method.
