Yogi Tea continues growth path following management reshuffle
Despite an arduous litigation process that resulted in ownership and management changes at its parent company, Yogi Tea has manged to sustain growth. The ownership of the company, founded by the late Yogi Bhajan, was returned to the Sikh community following a court ruling back in 2011. Having initially built distribution through natural food stores, Yogi Tea has recently been successfully expanding into grocery stores. According to court documents, Yogi Tea had sales of $27 million in 2009 and currently has a 4% share of the US bagged and loose tea market. Revenue is now equally split between the US and Europe. However, the company remains involved in a trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Yogi Bhajan's widow.
