Special thanks to readers of The Tea House Times and so many wonderful businesses in the tea industry for their support and positive feedback over the years. Since 2003, The Tea House Times has grown from a basic newsletter service for tea room owners to a full color publication enjoyed by consumers and tea businesses. Our publication and websites are sources of tea facts, business information, and personal enrichment through tea.

“Gail Gastelu is tireless in her efforts to bring TEA to the forefront of the American consciousness and in turn to every American's pantry and ultimately into everyone' cup. One of the most vocal promoters of Specialty Tea in the U.S. to date, she has single-handedly launched more programs, promotions and campaigns than any other industry professional. Her work ethic is exemplary, her organizational skills fastidious and her creative thinking is to be greatly admired.”

"Having worked with Gail on a number of levels and a number of projects dating back since 2010, I have to say very few professionals I have encountered or had the pleasure of working with are of the caliber of Gail Gastelu. Her motivation, drive, and follow through is beyond amazing. I am looking forward to continuing on projects together for many years to come."

Dear Gail, I just took a stroll through your www.TeaCourse.com site. Very well organized and impressive! The content is thorough and will certainly prove invaluable for those just entering the wonderful world of Tea. Yet, it also promises to be a comprehensive resource arena for more seasoned tea folks. Something for everyone - we like this and will visit often.

Working WITH The Tea House Times is exactly that--you and The Tea House Times are working together. Unlike advertising in other trade journals, where you buy your ad and take your chances--when you advertise with The Tea House Times you will find that you are now working with someone who truly cares about the success of YOUR business. Gail (Gastelu, publisher) keeps her finger on the industry pulse, and often seems to be a step or two ahead of current industry trends.
I believe that my affiliation with THT, Tea Bureau, and Tea Course have not only significantly broadened my base within the tea industry, but also added to my credibility as a serious business. Being awarded the THT Seal of Approval for our scone mixes was an unexpected surprise and honor. We have added that seal to our retail packaging, and find that it is noticed by all of our customers.
I have been associated with the THT since 2006, and anticipate many more years of a fabulous working relationship.

I had been a fan of The Tea House Times since I started my tea business. In fact, I bought my tea business from an ad on the tea business for sale portion of the site.
I have found "Lady Gayle" to be a warm, caring and truly dedicated tea professional. Everything she does under the umbrella of The Teas House Times is exceptionally done well. I am proud to call her a tea friend and colleague.
The Tea Course is a valuable tool for any tea professional to use. The benefits of membership keep expanding. Keep up the great work!!!

One simply must pick up a copy of The Tea House Times to know that it’s all about HEART. It is written with PASSION, not just passion for tea (that’s obvious), but passion for people. After you’ve read it, you’ll have this sense that you’ve just gone around the world and visited your dearest friends – yet all the while your dearest friends have been on this journey with you. There’s a kindred spirit sort of connection you get with The Tea House Times. It educates us about tea, travel and friendship with such intensity that within its pages we find true treasures. Personally, I appreciate what it has done – not just for my own tea business – but for all of us who love tea.

For three years we had the opportunity to work with The Tea House Times in connection with the Red Rose Tea Fair, featuring Red Rose Tea and Wade/England figurines. The Tea House Times provided excellent exposure for us through quality advertising. Redco Foods, Inc. and all who were involved with this endeavor have always been pleased with the warm and courteous reception we received. Doing business with The Tea House Times is truly a pleasure and the exposure beneficial.

Being an advertiser in the Tea House Times has provided my company with visibility in areas that may not know us yet. My web host service allows me to track visitors to my web site and I consistently see links from the Tea House Times to our site. I'd highly recommend advertising with them.
