The Republic of Tea Spotlights New and Noteworthy Teas at 2024 Summer Fancy Food Show

Leading Purveyor of Premium Teas and Herbs Showcases Seasonal Blends, Herbs of Origin, and More at New York City Trade Show

LARKSPUR, CALIF. (June 20, 2024) - The Republic of Tea, leading purveyor of premium teas and herbs, is delighted to return to the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City from June 23-25. Attendees will have an opportunity to enjoy a variety of teas at Booth #5916, with a special spotlight on its limited-edition seasonal harvest and holiday offerings, inventive new bottled Tablespoon Concentrates, and recently launched Herbs of Origin collection.

“Our TEAm is so pleased to exhibit at the Summer Fancy Food Show once again this season,” said Kristina Tucker, Minister of Enlightenment and Commerce at

The Republic of Tea. “We are especially excited to showcase many blends tailored for the forthcoming autumn and winter seasons, in addition to a few of our innovative new collections that support The Republic of Tea’s emphasis of a “Sip by Sip Rather Than Gulp by Gulp” lifestyle.”

  • Harvest Highlights – Pumpkin spice season is just around the corner, and The Republic of Tea is gearing up with limited-edition fall blends such as the warming Mulled Apple Spice, with the zestiness of cinnamon and orange peel, sweetness of crisp apple, and spiciness of clove and allspice, as well as the soon-to-launch Pumpkin Pie Chai, featuring satisfying bakery aromas and warm chai spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and clove that enhance the mild, savory notes of pumpkin. Other favorites include Apple Pie Chai, Hot Apple Cider, and Pumpkin Spice black tea.
  • Festive Holiday Blends – The Republic of Tea is getting winter-ready with soothing cups of great-tasting teas and herbs, such as Peppermint Bark, a green rooibos-based blend featuring peppermint and cocoa, Comfort & Joy, comprised of classic wintertime flavors such as cloves, apple, and cinnamon, blended with premium black tea, and Cardamom Cinnamon, which has a gentle, airy taste of the forest, combined with cinnamon, derived from the bark of a small evergreen, bringing a spicy depth and a fresh perspective. Additional blends on display include Sip and Be Merry, Cinnamon Vanilla, and Gingerbread.
  • Tablespoon Concentrates – These new concentrated beverages were crafted to make delicious tea lattes with ease, each yielding 16 servings and packaged in convenient 8 oz. glass recyclable bottles. New this season are the great-tasting Tablespoon Pumpkin Spice and Tablespoon Peppermint Bark, which follows the recent launches of Tablespoon Chai, Tablespoon London Fog, and Tablespoon Milk Tea.
  • Herbs of Origin – This collection of six single-sourced, one-ingredient certified-organic premium herbal teas are an expansion of The Republic of Tea’s beloved organic SuperHerb® Teas, which contain “wonder” herbs unique in flavor, functionality and full-body benefits. Many global regions have used these nutritional dynamos as a part of their daily diets for centuries – whether for boosting performance, health or longevity. Flavors include South African Green Rooibos, Sri Lankan Ginger, Egyptian Chamomile, American Peppermint, Vietnamese Cinnamon, and Egyptian Hibiscus.
