In 2014, Monique Zauner met the man who would end up being her husband. Three months after they met, they started their first business together, Universal Yums. Universal Yums sends a box of snacks and candies from a different country every month. Cool idea! It’s about the most fun business you could ever start, except there is this one small downside, which is - if you have a very massive sweet tooth, you’re going to struggle having a warehouse full of EVERY CHOCOLATE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

About five years into running Universal Yums, Monique started drinking a cup of tea whenever she had the urge to go into the warehouse for her second chocolate bar of the day. It worked! Monique drank lots of chamomile tea and by the 34th cup she turned to her husband and said, “Why can’t I try more interesting tea? I’ve had mastic candy and haggis chips! So why do we only get Earl Grey or sleepytime tea? Zzzzz.”

Say hello to Almost Tea. They're making the world’s most crazy creative teas, inspired by a different dessert maker every month. For their first month, they partnered with Brownie Points, a sisters-in-law-owned company from Columbus, Ohio. Almost turned their coolest flavors into INCREDIBLE, zero-calorie, no-artificial-sweeteners, TEA.
