Small tea startup selected for Emmys gift baskets
Tempest in a Teapot, a small tea company from Stonington, ME, will feature its products in celebrity gift bags at the Emmys next month. The company's blends were discovered through an online directory of 1700 products manufactured in Maine. Tempest in a Teapot offers a range of traditional teas mixed with local herbs such as rugosa rose hips. News came as a surprise to the very small company owned by two stay-at-home moms and started on $500 a year and a half ago. The owners will rely on friends and neighbors to prepare 80 gift boxes made up of two undisclosed varieties. They plan to launch a new line of teas to coincide with the event.
