| FEATURED – Selling Tea in Grocery | When asked where they buy their tea, 89% of Canadian consumers prefer supermarkets. This number is even higher in the US, with 91% of shoppers buying tea in grocery stores. Grocery is a promising but challenging channel for specialty tea wholesalers. These surveys revealed that 36% of shoppers select their tea by brand, underlining the importance of brand recognition in this competitive market.

Tea Squared is one of those specialty grocery brands.
