how or where to put this, but I am desperate!!!
I am having a Housewarming party this Saturday, I thought I would get my shipment in before then, but I haven't.
My dilema is:
I wanted to serve the PC Tea.
Where or how can I get ahold of this?
Is there anything comparable?
I want not only people to ask me what kinda tea it is, but it won't stain my new carpet.
Any suggestions would be GREAT!!!!
TIA
 
I don't know of any tea comparable to ours (and not sure about the statement about staining your carpet?) but if you need some, I'd ask your Director or someone on your team if they have any that you can use!

Thanks Laura, tried that route already.
Actually I spilled a whole cup of it on my carpet and it came right up.
Much better than the punch I was thinking of serving.
 
Just so you know...It does contains black or orange pekoe tea. This means if the liquid sits too long, it can stain the carpet. It will also do a number on the scotch gaurding on the area where it spills. There is a light acid in all real teas, non-100% herbals, and these will remove the scotch guarding.
 
Hi there! I completely understand your dilemma and I'm here to help. The PC Tea is definitely a popular choice for parties, but if you don't have it in time, don't worry! There are a few options you can consider. First, you can always reach out to your fellow Pampered Chef consultants and see if anyone has an extra box of PC Tea that they can lend or sell to you. You can also try checking with your local Pampered Chef office to see if they have any in stock.If those options don't work, you can also consider using another type of tea that won't stain your carpet. Herbal teas, such as chamomile or peppermint, are great options that won't leave any stains. You can also try serving iced tea instead, as it won't be as likely to spill and stain your carpet.I hope these suggestions help and I wish you all the best for your housewarming party! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Happy hosting!

Can I offer non-tea options for guests who don’t drink tea?
