Teaspressa gets sales boost following Shark Tank feature
Teaspressa, a startup manufacturing ground teas, has revealed skyrocketing demand following its appearance on the TV show Shark Tank. Despite not clinching an investment on the show, the company's online sales rose 20 times and helped to get the company off the ground. Teaspressa offers ground tea blends that produce a concentrated drink akin to espresso coffee. The ground leaves can be used just like ground coffee with most coffee machines and can be enjoyed with a range of additions to create lattes and macchiatos. The company is planning to open a storefront next month and to ramp up wholesale production shortly thereafter.
