Tea Sippers

Our source today, which is a BusinessWeek article, contains an interview with Gene Dunkin, president of Tea Forte. Tea Forte is a high end tea company that markets in stores such as Neiman Marcus, Harrods, Saks Fifth Avenue and Origins. None of these type of stores is available in my small local town of 100,000+, so I guess that leaves purchasing through the Internet. Too bad BusinessWeek didn’t give Tea Forte’s website a anchor link to pass some PR.

Dunkin used to be with Godiva so he knows something about quality luxury products. It is a very interesting interview that gives some statistics on how fast the business is growing, their distribution and a bit of talk about their pyramid nylon tea bags. Hopefully, Tea Forte will take the remark about not being able to compost the bags to heart. It’s an interesting interview and worth the read.
