Loose-Leaf Purist: $500 Startup Fund

With a gift to the Startup Fund, you can help Steep Valley Tea establish a physical teahouse in the Greater Pittsburgh area!

Your gift helps with the purchase of furniture, signage, and equipment to get the new teahouse up and running!

The gift reward for the $500 tier is:

• the Fall Arrivals Sampler (free shipping)
• a Steep Valley Tea-shirt* (also free shipping)
• 30g of Master's Treasure #18, a tea made by the man who taught Alfredo Lin (maker of Ruby Red #18) how to make tea. He no longer makes tea, and this is from one of the last batches he made. I do not sell this tea for retail.**
• An Invitation to the Opening Sample Session, where a variety of teas that I am considering adding to the catalog will be sampled. You will also gain voting power on what teas finally make it into the catalog. 
• and your name printed in the "Funder's List" to be displayed in the teahouse thanking you for your contribution.

*You will be contacted directly by email to inquire about the size of t-shirt you need.

**If I run out of this tea during the course of the Startup Fund, you will receive a $45 store Credit instead.
