Can I return tea to Sancha after it arrives?

No. Sancha's shipping policy is explicit: *'Food products (tea) are non-returnable and non-exchangeable'* under FSSAI rules. Replacement is only offered for damaged goods, and you must report damage quickly, Sancha won't entertain any complaint raised more than 15 days after delivery. Take photos of the outer box and inner pouch the moment the courier hands it over; that's your strongest evidence for a replacement claim.

Is there a Sancha Tea subscription I need to cancel?

Sancha Tea is sold as one-off purchases through its online boutique, there is no recurring monthly tea-club subscription listed on the site. If your card is being charged repeatedly, the most likely culprit is a marketplace listing (Amazon, third-party retailer) rather than sanchatea.com itself. Check your card statement for the merchant descriptor and dispute through that platform if it isn't 'SANCHA' or 'Aap Ki Pasand'.

What if my Sancha tea arrived damaged or wrong?

Email **webboutique@sanchatea.com** within 15 days of delivery with photos of the damaged outer packaging, the inner pouch/tin, and the courier label. Sancha's shipping policy commits to replacement (not refund) for damaged items, and the company states it *'shall not entertain any complaints after 15 days, once the order is delivered.'* Mention that you want either a like-for-like replacement or, if the SKU is unavailable, the 100% refund their own shipping policy promises.

Can I cancel a Sancha Tea order after it ships?

Practically, no. Sancha's stated policy is: *'Once the teas have been shipped, we do not offer any refunds on cancellation of the order.'* Your remaining options are: refuse the parcel at the door (so it returns to sender), or, if you paid by credit card, raise a chargeback citing 'goods not received' or 'cancellation refused' once the package goes back. Note Sancha may then bill the failed-delivery re-shipping cost.

What email do I use to contact Sancha Tea customer service?

Use **webboutique@sanchatea.com** for orders, cancellations, and damage claims, it's the address printed on the Contact Us page and shipping policy. For data, privacy, or unresolved complaints, escalate to **sales@sanchatea.com**, which is listed under the Grievance Officer (Ms. Nawita Kumari) on the privacy policy. International customers can also reach the team via WhatsApp on +91 98181 06932 (Mon, Sat 9:30am, 7pm IST).

Sancha Tea not responding to my email, what next?

Sancha's main inbox is webboutique@sanchatea.com (Mon, Sat business hours, IST). If you've had no reply in 48 hours: (1) WhatsApp +91 98181 06932 with the order number; (2) email **sales@sanchatea.com**, the Grievance Officer address from the privacy policy; (3) if you paid by credit card, open a chargeback citing 'item not received' or 'service not as described'. Their terms specify Indian law and New Delhi courts as the legal forum.

Are Sancha tea bags really biodegradable?

Yes, Sancha's FAQ states their green teas use *'plastic-free, biodegradable pyramid tea bags'* that avoid the nylon/plastic mesh used in many regular pyramid bags. This is relevant if you're cancelling on environmental grounds: the brand's own marketing claims sustainability and Rainforest Alliance certification, so a 'misleading claim' angle is unlikely to win a dispute unless you've received bags that visibly contain plastic.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Sancha Tea?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Sancha Tea account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

Sancha Tea’s refund policy

Sancha Tea is a one-off ecommerce purchase, not a subscription. You can cancel an order, and get a refund, only if you email webboutique@sanchatea.com within 24 hours of placing it, before it ships. Once shipped, tea is treated as a non-returnable food product under FSSAI rules. Replacements are only offered for damaged items, and the company will not entertain complaints raised more than 15 days after delivery.

“Once the teas have been shipped, we do not offer any refunds on cancellation of the order. In case you would like to cancel an order you have placed, please do connect with our team on webboutique@sanchatea.com within 24 hours of placing the order.”

Cancelled Sancha Tea but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Sancha Tea, treat it as not cancelled. Email webboutique@sanchatea.com referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Sancha Tea’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Sancha Tea charges again.

How Sancha Tea will try to keep you

Sancha Tea may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Brand offers replacement instead of refund for damaged items”
You say: Accept replacement only if the item arrived damaged AND you actually want another one, otherwise insist on a refund to original payment method, citing that Sancha's own shipping policy promises '100% refund' when the vendor cannot ship a suitable item.
They’ll say: “Brand may suggest 'alternative items' when your choice is unavailable”
You say: Their shipping policy explicitly says 'the final choice rests with the customer', decline the alternative and request the 100% refund the same clause guarantees.
They’ll say: “24-hour cancellation cutoff used to refuse refunds”
You say: If you emailed webboutique@sanchatea.com within 24 hours, attach the timestamped email to your dispute. If the order hadn't shipped when you wrote in, the cutoff is met regardless of when Sancha replied.
They’ll say: “Tea treated as non-returnable food under FSSAI”
You say: FSSAI restricts returns for hygiene, not damaged/wrong/missing items. Frame the issue as 'damaged on arrival' or 'item not as described' (covered by India's Consumer Protection Act 2019) rather than a change-of-mind return.

Delete your Sancha Tea account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Sancha Tea’s account settings, email webboutique@sanchatea.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under data-protection law in most jurisdictions. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
