Teaspressa Femaled owned and operated, Teaspressa — a play on tea + espresso — is proudly handmade in Phoenix, AZ. In January 2015, Allison’s initial marketing plan involved borrowing a laundry cart and pedalling around downtown Phoenix handing out free samples. Little did she know that, just a few months later, she’d land a dream opportunity to pitch on Shark Tank! Shortly after that, she opened the first Teaspressa store, bringing her coffee inspired tea and beautiful branding to thousands of customers.
