Tea Connexions
Tea Connexions is a trade name owned by Connexions Trading
International Incorporated, a privately owned corporation
formed in 1995, and owned exclusively by Sanjay and Suruchi
Gupta.
Tea Connexions is a value added supplier of gourmet teas
beautifully packaged that distributes its products exclusively
through a membership based buying group. Entrepreneurs pay a
membership fee to obtain a turn-key tea business which includes
tea products, marketing materials, and a professionally
designed e-commerce website. Other major benefits that our
customers receive from membership in the buying group include
costs 30% below wholesale on high quality specialty tea
products, professionally designed marketing materials at
economies of scale pricing, marketing support, and free
customer referrals.
We offer the finest teas direct from tea estates to our
customers, guaranteeing our customers enjoy the finest tea
experience possible. Our customer service model is based on
the efforts of our hundreds of established Tea Connexions
Distributors across North America and other parts of the world.
We provide Total Marketing Solutions to our Distributors, in
the form of special branding, print media, e-commerce and
product marketing solutions. Our Distributors benefit from the
ongoing leads generated by our extensive online presence and
print advertising initiatives.
Tea Connexions is built upon four pillars that differentiate
our products and services from other tea companies:
1) Gourmet Teas high quality teas that offer an impeccable
tea experience full of life and disease preventing nutrients.
2) Beautiful Packaging Unique, handcrafted, one-of-a-kind tea
containers, that serve as permanent reminders of ones kindness.
3) Superior Service Achieved through a system of localized
distribution, a distribution model built for the purpose of
serving consumers locally, and based upon the premise that
consumers prefer and want to purchase from a local source.
4) Exceptional Value Our goal, to ensure customer
satisfaction that ultimately leads to word of mouth referrals
and repeat business.
Tea Connexions upholds these mandates not only by distributing
the highest quality tea products to our customers, but also
through the efforts and commitment of the exceptional people on
our TEAm. We currently employ a group of ten, including
specialists in the areas of marketing and sales, graphic and
web design, finance and accounting, international trade and
warehouse logistics.
Here is a brief time line of Tea Connexions progression:
1999The idea of Tea Connexions started in a 200 square feet
office.
June, 2001Tea Connexions moved to 1000 square feet and
signed a lease for three years. At the time, we did not have
one Distributor and had not yet generated $1.
August, 2001Program launched, with a focus on the
acquisition of American Distributors.
June, 2003Tea Connexions moved out one full year ahead of
schedule into our 3000 square feet location.
Moving from 200 to 1000 to 3000 square feet, in a period of two
years, is a strong indication of the success and future
projected success of our operations.
To date, we have added more than 200 members primarily in the
United States, though we have distributors in Canada, Guam,
Australia, Latin America, and Europe. Our goal is to add 1000
members by the end of 2005.
The strategic alliance recently formed between Tea Connexions
and Shangers Teaopolis in North America will allow us to
deliver even greater value, as synergies between our companies
will promote our continued rapid growth. We are in development
of an exciting new franchise opportunity, Teaopolis Tea Stores
and Tea Rooms, a unique teahouse concept to be launched in
third quarter 2004.
We are now seeking a small group of serious tea entrepreneurs,
to form an elite group of Master Distributors for the purpose
of enhancing local area service to our new and established
Distributors, and to assist in the establishment of and supply
to Teaopolis Tea Stores and Tea Rooms. Our Master Distributors
will profit from all Tea Connexions and Teaopolis tea sales in
their respective territories, and are entitled additional
profit sharing on numerous tea related revenue streams provided
by Tea Connexions and Shangers.
We are proud to have built Tea Connexions from a small
operation in a 200 square feet office, to our present facility
of over 3000 square feet. It has not been an easy journey, but
it has been extremely rewarding. We invite you to join us and
profit from the growth and momentum we are building each and
every day our future is golden!
