Frequently asked questions

Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
