Wholesale
An elegant, competitive wholesale program for bookstores, gift shops, cafés, and hotels. Four literary tea blends created in Victoria with bestselling author Karina Halle — a story on every package, and a conversation that sells itself.
☕ Why it works on your shelf
- Proven in retail. Already carried in the BC Ferries Passages gift shops (now on repeat orders) and in 20+ independent bookshops and gift shops across Canada and the US.
- A built-in story. Created with Karina Halle — a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author of 80+ novels. Customers ask about the names, and that conversation makes the sale.
- Easy to stock. Dry, shelf-stable and light. No refrigeration, no cold chain, nothing to break.
- Bilingual & Canadian. Made in Victoria, BC, with bilingual (English & French) packaging ready for every Canadian market.
💷 The numbers
- Retail: $16.99 CAD
- Wholesale: $7.99 CAD — a 53% margin
- First-order offer: 15% off your opening order — $6.79 CAD per unit, a 60% margin
📦 Simple terms
- No minimum order. Start with whichever blends fit your shop.
- Net 30 payment terms.
- Delivery: hand-delivered locally on Vancouver Island, and shipped Canada-wide at heavily discounted rates that keep your margin intact.
- Counter jar: we can supply a branded jar of loose leaf so customers can smell the tea before they buy — it lifts sell-through.
🍵 The four blends
