Day 4: Teaspressa

Allison DeVane has always loved coffee, but coffee never liked her back. So she invented a tea that you could brew like coffee. Soon, Allison had the opportunity to pitch Teaspressa- a play on tea + espresso - on Shark Tank, then opened the first Teaspressa store, bringing her coffee-inspired tea and beautiful branding to thousands of customers.
