Zest Tea Retail & Foodservice Growth Manager (PDF)

Zest Tea’s mission is to empower the relentless pursuit of achievement with healthy beverages designed
to motivate action, inspire creativity, and energize the human spirit. Our energy teas have as much
caffeine as coffee -- about 3X the levels of traditional teas -- and amino acids that help reduce the
caffeine jitters and crash. We launched in 2014 as an e-commerce brand, launched our bagged teas in
grocery stores late 2016, and are launching our sparkling tea into convenience stores summer 2018.
We’ve grown 200% year over year since launching in 2014 and count folks like the former-President of
Coca Cola among our advisors.
