DO YOU GIFT WRAP?
We started this business as a boba set gifting company, but expanded our store due to customer demand and love. At this time, we don't necessarily wrap the gift boxes with wrapping paper--but we will wrap it with twine and accouterments such as dried eucalyptus. Put it in the notes and we will do it for free. We can also hand write a note inside the box. All you have to do is put the message you want in the notes.
OTHER
DOES YOUR TEA EXPIRE?
Tea does not have an expiration date, but it can start to lose freshness over time.
We do recommend storing your tea in a dry, cool, dark space. Tea needs to be kept away from heat, light, air, and moisture to ensure its freshness. Do not store your teas in the freezer or refrigerator.
HOW SHOULD WE KEEP OUR BOBA AFTER OPENING?
We recommend keeping boba in an airtight container (mason jar, stasher bags, take out deli cup containers, etc)
Consume boba within 2 weeks of opening.
DO YOU HAVE A STORE FRONT?
Yes! Our sister cafe, Polaris Cafe is located in 5858 Horton St. #151, Emeryville CA.
You can make an online order for pick up and get a free drink while you're there! Since everything is bagged and filled at the cafe, we do not guarantee everything in our online store will be in stock when you visit. We recommend ordering online and waiting for pick-up notification before coming over. If you would like a small sample of tea, you can pick it up along with order.
