At Smith Teamaker, we are Makers. We Make Moments that are Memorable, one exceptional tea experience at a time. We craft tea and other plant-based beverages steeped in quality and creativity. Elevated, but always accessible, our aim is to be the daily craving of consumers with uncompromising taste. Our product collections are designed to elevate the taste standard of core beverage occasions – hot or cold, home or away – continually building our reputation for quality, creativity, and great taste. With a deep focus on the needs of people, we balance daily favorites with unrivaled innovation to reach new consumers and build frequent consumption habits. Our growth comes primarily from direct hospitality and digital experiences where guests develop deep loyalty as they immerse themselves in our brand. We leverage premium Restaurants, Offices, and Retailers to extend our access to new consumers and households, both domestically and in select international markets. We source the highest quality ingredients from sustainable farms, leveraging deep relationships and our growing scale to capture superior quality with limited working capital. We directly control our blending, packing and logistics to ensure quality and differentiation while delivering cost efficiency and agility. We know that exceptional experiences come from exceptional people, and actively build the capabilities and disciplines for our teamakers to thrive, all of whom share a commitment to our head, heart, and hustle culture. Our ability to enrich lives is directly linked to the sustainability of our planet. We are committed to making a positive impact in our world by providing safe, plant-based products; eliminating waste; and actively supporting the protection of clean water, sustainable farms, and the communities that nurture them. Together, these efforts enable us to create enterprise value well ahead of the category and ensure the sustainability of the business we have created.
