Hello - I hope you can help me with some questions I have about starting a tea business.
My blog is about a health condition that I have, and I want to create a tea blend specific to it. Tea is one thing that really helped, and I want to add some other ingredients that help as well. I found a PL tea supplier that also does blends for health. There isn't currently tea specific to this condition. I planned to get samples and have them create a blend and then PL for me. So if I had arthritis, I would be naming it "arthritis tea."
I started thinking about the process and wondered what would stop them from selling my exact blend to others? Is that part of the process of them agreeing not to do that? Or is that just something you have to take the chance on?
Also, thinking about the name, am I able to trademark it? Again, I worry that anyone could create a tea and name it "arthritis tea," but is a name like that even allowed a trademark?
I did buy the domain name, but I know that doesn't help in the situation above. When the product is ready, I planned to add it to a product page on my blog or do a separate website under the tea name and link to it. Is one way better than the other?
It could be I'm overthinking this, but I want it done right from the start. Appreciate your help!
