Michele Freeman, CEO and co-founder of Venice Beach Beverage, always had a love for tea. Growing up in Ohio, all her mealtime memories included her family's iced tea recipe. Today, she has taken that recipe and evolved it into the U.S.'s reportedly first shelf-stable tea with 100 percent daily vitamins.
On this episode of Spill & Dish, guest host V. Sheree Williams, founder, executive director and publisher/editor at The Global Food and Drink Initiative, speaks with Freeman about becoming a small business owner at the age of 57. Freeman also shares how she took a recipe passed down from generations to create a beverage that not only tastes good but is good for you.
