Coming soon to a tea-shop or coffee-shop near you!
We have full faith that our Rari-Tea Sugar Drops will succeed, considering that we sold all 25 jars on our first sale back in Tamashii Convention. We wish to participate in all conventions and sell our sugar drops, but alas, we cannot participate as exhibitors in ALL events. (Maybe next year, Nexcon...) So, we're going for the next-best idea: we are going to pitch our Rari-Tea Sugar Drops to various establishments!
Yes, you hear it correctly - we are going to propose to a number of cafes and coffee-shops around Metro Manila, and hopefully they will allow us to sell our signature product in their stores. The thought of consignment alone is very overwhelming because we've never done this before, but we keep our heads high and hope we will succeed.
We won't be listing the names of the establishments that we intend to propose, but we will announce which cafe or coffee-shop we successfully consign with in the future. But don't get too excited, everyone - we brace for the fact that it will take some weeks before we acquire our first deal, so the sugar drops won't be in stores yet. In addition, here are some disclaimers:

In addition, here are some disclaimers:
- The product packaging will be different compared to the jars from the initial public sale during TamaCon.
- The color of the sugar drops will now represent a flavor. The original Vanilla variant will be in violet color, the Vanilla-Mint variant will be in white color, and the Cinnamon variant will be in a two-tone white and brown color. (The latter two variants are still under testing.)
- The medium-jar version of all three variants will be up for sale in the coming months.
- The retail price per jar will depend on the terms between Team Fillypinana and the establishment - it could stay at the original Php 75.00 or it could go higher.
- The selling period will also depend on the terms between the Team and the establishment - we cannot say exactly how long we can have Rari-Tea Sugar Drops for-sale in a particular store.
- We will initially focus on pitching to establishments around Manila, Makati, Pasay, and Pasig. We will then pitch to stores from the rest of Metro Manila later this year. We do not plan to pitch this to establishments from provincial areas - YET.
- The consignment strategy will not affect our participation as exhibitors in upcoming conventions.
