With Almost Tea, Monique Zauner becomes a second-time entrepreneur in the DTC food space. In 2014, she and her husband, Eli, co-founded Universal Yums, the beloved international snack box from a different country every month. Bootstrapped from an initial $8,000 investment, Universal Yums has gone on to ship over 5 million snack boxes with over $100 million in lifetime sales. When she isn't drinking tea, Monique enjoys writing and bearing witness to the underappreciated joys of light fixtures with her 15-month old son.
