Founded in 2012, Tealet facilitates tea purchases between small tea farmers and the beverage’s global connoisseurs, many of whom wouldn’t otherwise be able or willing to pay growers directly in their native currency. Today, the company aspires to become a $20m-a-year business. And even after the ups and downs of its opening trial, Petersen says she sees the alternative coin movement becoming an essential part of its business strategy.”
