Any chance the signature blends will be available to purchase as a sample sized tin?

Given the logistics that each signature blend needs to be created in real-time, the price of the sample tin would need to be too high to justify.

I don't think it would be such a bad idea to offer the blends in sample-tin packs of 5 or 10.
The blender could give them out as gifts and say, "If you want to order full-size, then go here."
I see these working well as party favors

Personally I like the samples that come in a resealable pouch. They don't take up as much room plus I'm sure it's more cost effective for the vendors, too.
Hey, fork, the party favor idea is cool. May have to send some samples home next time I have friends over.

Thanks for letting me know, Ilya. That does make sense.

Are resealable pouches light protected, like adagio's tins are? I prefer the tins because it makes storing them in a tea cabinet more organized.
