About The Tea Spot

The Tea Spot is a for-profit philanthropic business producing handcrafted loose leaf teas and Steepware® – tools that make loose tea easy. The Boulder, Colorado-based woman owned and operated company was founded in 2004 with the goal of modernizing the loose-leaf tea experience. Their message is simple and powerful: tea in its freshest form renders incredible flavor, unmatched health benefits, and is eco-friendly. The company ensures that its products uphold clean, sustainable and fair manufacturing standards. The Tea Spot’s model of social entrepreneurship incorporates a culture of giving as it grows: ten percent of every sale made is donated in-kind to cancer and community wellness programs.

We became a B Corp because we see it as a process that can help us build an even more sustainable and valuable company for our employees, stakeholders, and community.

The Change We Seek™

The Tea Spot’s vision for a profitable, sustainable and philanthropic business has a singular focus: to help people live longer, healthier lives by making loose leaf tea an everyday luxury. Their mantra, “Modern Brewing. Conscious Living.” translates into five core values for the company:

1. Develop groundbreaking innovations and deliver extraordinary customer experiences in support of our mission.

2. Ensure that their products have a positive net effect on the environment and their practices are consistent with eco-friendly values.

3. Inspire and support each other at the workplace through employee ownership and reciprocal relationships - understanding that respect, integrity and active teamwork are the building blocks of their successes.

4. Build and maintain reciprocal relationships based on respect and integrity with the buyers, suppliers, and colleagues in their community and industry.

5. Advance their mission through social entrepreneurship by means of their 10% for Cancer Wellness initiative, donating 10% of all their sales in-kind to cancer and community wellness programs.
