Advertising Policy
Last Updated: January 2026
At Where To Buy Tea, we're committed to transparency about our advertising practices and sponsored content. This policy explains how we handle advertising, affiliate relationships, and sponsored placements on our website.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
Our Approach
Where To Buy Tea may feature advertising, sponsored content, and affiliate links. However, we maintain editorial independence and only feature products, services, and businesses that we believe are valuable and relevant to tea enthusiasts.
Sponsored Listings
Some vendors in our directory may have sponsored or premium listings that receive enhanced visibility. Sponsored listings are clearly marked and do not affect the quality or accuracy of our directory information.
Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored articles, guides, or content pieces. All sponsored content is clearly labeled and disclosed to our readers. Sponsored content maintains our editorial standards and provides genuine value to tea lovers.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Links
Where To Buy Tea participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on purchases made through links on our website. This includes:
- Amazon Associates Program
- Other tea-related affiliate programs
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links help support the operation and maintenance of Where To Buy Tea.
No Impact on Recommendations
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, recommendations, or vendor listings. We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe are valuable to our readers, regardless of affiliate relationships.
Editorial Independence
Honest Reviews and Recommendations
We maintain editorial independence in all our content. Sponsored or affiliate relationships do not guarantee positive coverage, and we reserve the right to express honest opinions about products and services.
Vendor Selection
Vendors are included in our directory based on factors including:
- Quality of tea products and services
- Reputation and customer feedback
- Relevance to our audience
