Teaspressa

With nearly a decade of industry experience, Allison DeVane knew her caffeinated beverages. What she didn’t know was where this knowledge would one day lead her…   

There was no way for past-Allison (that bright young girl picking up barista shifts just-for-fun) to have knowledge of the fact that she would one day practically invent a whole new beverage category… or own multiple businesses. Even after launching Teaspressa with a marketing plan that consisted of pedaling a tea cart around downtown Phoenix and handing out free samples, there was no way she could have known that she would, only short months later, land an opportunity to pitch on Shark Tank and then, shortly thereafter, open up a shop of her own, just as she had always dreamed…

And yet this innovative brainchild named Teaspressa began to mature - taking on a life all its own. Sure, it represented all of Allison’s original passions - coffee, latte art, sunny-days-in-exotic-places, and tea - in a wonderful marriage of two otherwise-opposing worlds (the worlds of robust coffee and delicate tea). But it quickly evolved into so much more - so much more than Allison or anyone observing her could have ever guessed…

Today, Teaspressa represents a lifestyle, a way of being. It stands for good health and the courageous, unflinching pursuit of big ideas. It stands for luxurious self-treatment and serves as a reminder of individual self-worth. It stands for slowing down a little and taking time to truly celebrate life. Of course it also stands for the big, bold, delicious flavors and high quality products that it offers. But most of all, it stands for the thriving community that it serves.
