Discounts

When you become a Sacred Teahouse Member, you get discounts off all menu and retail items. Discounts vary based on the number of "shares"* of the date of issue.  For example: if you were to have purchased a "share" before the date of opening you would receive a 50% discount as a “Founding Member”  after opening you would receive a 10% discount as  "Sacred Tart Member."

 Other Benefits

In addition to the discounts, Members receive other benefits, what we would like to call “Perks and Privileges.” These include: private tasting parties, discounts Sacred Tart events, samples and monthly giveaways, and most importantly, we think, involvement in a consciously driven business initiative for our community.

Joining the Crew

Joining the crew is easy. Just email us to receive an membership application or (after we open) come on over to the teahouse and fill out a membership application.  Once you email us we will mail you an application packet.

Equity Deposits

In order to continually improve service to our members, we capitalize the business through our membership equity program. We use equity funds over a long-term period to develop the Sacred, e.g., to buy kitchen equipment, plant a garden, and so on. Equity deposits are essentially "shares" you purchase as a Member. Members make a onetime payment of $500 per "share."

We completely refund your deposit to you when you terminate your membership

In effect, your deposit is a non-interest-bearing loan or contribution to the Sacred Tart which, together with other member’s deposits, improve our physical facilities and make shopping at the being at the Teahouse a more pleasant experience.

Because the Sacred Tart needs time to get on its feet, and needs security to stay on its feet, we ask that our Members to keep their membership for 5 years after the date of its initiation. After that 5 year period you can fill out a withdrawal form if you wish to terminate you membership. Memberships cannot be bought or sold, but if you leave town and want to transfer the benefit to a friend or family member you may do so one time.  If you choose to withdraw you money after 5 years then you can fill out a withdrawal for and your money will be returned to you within 6 months.
