Teaspressa began in 2015, when Phoenix barista Allison DeVane set out to make tea brew like coffee. A patented pressure extraction method got her there: a concentrated tea with the caffeine of an espresso shot, brewed in a moka pot, a French press, or a pour over. The press has followed since: Shark Tank, Vogue, Forbes, Oprah's Favorite Things, and the inflight menus of NetJets.

Today the range includes loose-leaf teas, Luxe Mixer Cubes, Tallboys, and Tea Pouches, sold direct at teaspressa.com and through wholesale and retail partners. The tea leaves are certified organic and sourced from fair-trade farms.
