Where do you deliver?

Local courier delivery (via Uber Direct) within about 10 miles of our Bronx kitchen, quoted live at checkout. Self-pickup from the Bronx is free, and we run occasional flat-fee delivery days to areas farther out.

How much lead time do I need?

Two days minimum. Each batch is steeped slowly so we need time to brew and bottle your order.

Zelle (preferred — verify within an hour), cash at handoff, or tap-to-pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay on our terminal at pickup or delivery.
