Sponsored links are named
When a shop click may support Teatre, the disclosure is visible before visitors choose a vendor offer.
Shop link clarity
Affiliate disclosure
Learn how sponsored shop links work while keeping tea descriptions focused on leaf, origin, flavor, and brewing.
Reader-first shopping
How Teatre keeps shop context clear
These checkpoints keep affiliate context visible without turning tea pages into ads.
Tea notes stay leaf-first
Descriptions prioritize origin, cultivar, processing, flavor, and brewing guidance over commission context.
Current offers stay comparable
Live listings keep size, leaf style, origin, stock, and vendor context together so shoppers can compare clearly.
Teatre is a free tea guide for curious drinkers. We are not a shop, and we do not sell tea. Some of the outbound "Buy →" links on tea pages open through a short Teatre shop link that may append an affiliate parameter — when that's the case, the destination vendor pays us a small commission if you make a purchase. There is no extra cost to you.
How shop links work
Tea pages may send you through a short Teatre shop link before opening a vendor product page. When that vendor has signed an affiliate agreement with us, the shop link can add a tracking parameter before you arrive. Vendors with no affiliate relationship send you to the product page without affiliate tracking added.
Live listing pages use the same neutral catalog rules: current offers are shown to help you compare leaf, origin, size, and shop context before choosing a current offer.
What stays neutral
- Which vendors are listed: based on quality and audience interest, not commission rates.
- What we say about a tea or vendor: we do not soften reviews to protect a commission.
- Tea descriptions, origin notes, brewing parameters, and cultivar entries are vendor-neutral and written to help you choose and brew tea.
Required by law
US visitors: this disclosure satisfies FTC 16 CFR §255. EU/UK visitors: this satisfies UCPD/CMA equivalents. If you ever see a "Buy →" link on Teatre, treat it as a sponsored outbound link by default.
Questions
If you have questions about a shop link, compare the vendor directory with the tea page you came from: sponsored links are marked on the page, and tea descriptions remain focused on leaf, origin, flavor, and brewing rather than commission rates.
