We're still figuring out how to handle compensation for takeovers and would appreciate your input! Please select the option(s) which feel right for you.

For transparency: currently, all of the donations The Tea Stand receives go toward 1) covering operational costs and 2) covering my personal cost of living, as this is my full-time work. As of writing this, The Tea Stand covers close to 50% of my cost of living and my functional hourly wage is around $6/hour.
