BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Tea Spot is now available in The Fresh Market with its line of premium organic and functional specialty teas for grocery and retail.

In addition, The Tea Spot expanded its operations by working with three UNFI distribution centers on the east coast to meet demand.
The Fresh Market, headquartered in Greensboro, N.C., is a fresh-focused specialty grocery chain, and The Tea Spot is a leading producer of handcrafted whole leaf teas and Steepware.
