{"product_id":"the-founders-collection-2019","title":"The Founder's Collection, 2019","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-notes\"\u003eAn exclusive collection of beautiful, esoteric teas.   Specially curated by Peter Luong\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Founder's Collection is a subscription series that takes members beyond Song's core teas. Sourced by Song's founder and tea buyer, Peter Luong, the collection features outstanding, unique, and enigmatic teas that are not available anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMembers of The Founder’s Collection will be placing their trust in Peter’s talent to scout out and determine the most exquisite teas during his Spring sourcing trip this year. Our aim is to assemble a set of teas outside the constraints of Song's core collection, teas that for reasons of scarcity, obscurity, cost or otherwise, do not fit within our broader line-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you read this, Peter is live in the field, cupping and discussing hundreds of teas with local producers, and carefully curating this special collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBecause we’re working on this series in real time, it’s important that we know exactly how much of each tea we will need to secure before Peter returns from Asia. Therefore, membership will be limited to 30 participants, and we will close registration on \u003cu\u003eSunday, April 21st at \u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e8 pm\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e PST\u003c\/u\u003e. No additional Founder's Collections will be sold after April 21st. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-notes\"\u003e___\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a member, you will receive a shipment from the collection every other month, six times a year. Your first shipment will arrive in June 2019. Price is inclusive of shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach shipment includes 1-2 carefully selected teas, along with brewing guidelines, tasting notes and flavor profiles, and a personal note from Peter detailing the origin of each tea, the story of how he found it, and why it made the cut for the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are aiming to have approximately 120 grams of tea per shipment.
