What is Social Media

@52Teas on Twitter
Our @52teas account on Twitter has single-handedly saved this business from extinction. Prior to Twitter we shipped one to two packages of our custom, hand-crafted artisan tea blends every 2-3 weeks. We are currently shipping 40-50 parcels a week on average to all parts of the US and Canada, Germany, UK, Australia, and the Netherlands.
