Tea Partner News & Opportunities - TeaAisle

A quick look at our own retail website data proved that a trip to Phoenix was in order. In early November we made the trek to the desert. In an effort to help our 2,442 Phoenix-area web customers stay hydrated we visited Sprouts and Basha's. We know our desert-dwelling friends will appreciate an Organic, Sugar Free, Iced tea option during their 300+ days of sunshine!

It's no surprise that the cooler temperatures will cause some added commotion in the tea aisle! We're off to a great start this season and taking advantage! Having added nearly 500 points of distribution since Oct 1 we're doing all we can to make these traffic jams even worse. The distribution we have is growing, and we've gained substantial new placement in markets across the US such as Earth Fare, Central Market and an expanded partnership with H-E-B.

Visit the Adagio booth, # 2719 at Expo East, the largest Natural Products Expo on the East Coast- September 22nd-24th.
