Charter
The Republic of Tea
Whereby, we the people of The Republic of Tea hereby declare that:
Our purpose is to enrich people's lives through the experience of fine tea and the Sip by Sip rather than Gulp by Gulp lifestyle - a life of health, balance, and well-being.
Our mission is to become the leading purveyor of full-leaf teas and herbs in the world - respected for our unsurpassed quality and unequaled product selection, service, creativity, and presentation. (Our covert mission is to start a Tea Revolution by infusing our culture with a new and relevant tea ceremony.)
Our way is to encourage Citizens of The Republic (our customers) to discover the many virtues of tea by providing truly outstanding products and delivering them in innovative ways. We aim to educate, inspire, and communicate the quality, benefits, values, and lifestyle of The Republic of Tea and its products in everything we do.
We are committed to caring for our customers and employees in a kind, respectful, compassionate way and to build long-term, mutually rewarding relationships with our suppliers, customers, communities, and each other.
We value patience, persistence, initiative, resourcefulness, courage, and a good sense of humor. We appreciate beauty, simplicity, and genuine content.
We are mindful of the impact that our actions and business activities have on our communities and environment; we conscientiously act in a long-term and responsible manner.
We understand that distinguished financial performance is essential to our ability to thrive and to accomplish our broader mission.
We know that, as an organization and as individuals, we must continually learn, grow, and innovate in order to progress, succeed, and accomplish our goals.
We delight in drinking tea.
Adopted this 16th day of March, Nineteen-hundred and ninety four.
On November 1st, 2008, The Emerson Pharmacy and Gift Shoppe will become a member of the Republic of Tea and subscribe to the notion that life truly should be taken sip by sip, not gulp by gulp. On the shelves of the gift shoppe, you will find the Republic of Tea's Be Well Red Tea line. Roobibos (ROY-boss) or Red Tea is the base of their colorful line of functional teas. Red Tea is know as the Wonder Herb of South Africa, and it's no wonder. Red Tea is naturally caffeine-free. It's rich in antioxidants, which can protect the body from cellular damage, and is a natural friend to the immune system. Red Tea mingles with functional herbs for this line of ailment-specific blends that taste FABULOUS! Lastly, Red Tea, a garnet-hued brew, yields a rich and soothing aromoa with a hearty, slightly sweet base. Great hot or iced! Come in, lift a cup with us, and be well!
Look for the new line coming soon and choose from any of the following teas: Get Gorgeous, Get It Going, Get Charged, Get a Grip, Get Some Zzzs, Get Lost, Get Clean, Get Soothed, Get Relief, Get Happy, and Get Relaxed.
