The Republic of Tea is a premium American tea company founded in 1992, known for its high-quality teas and commitment to ethical sourcing.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 6 stores.
