Allison's story

We are called Teaspressa because it all started with creating a patent on making tea like espresso and fast forward to today we have created LUXE Mixer Cubes, a shelf stable drink mixer that flavors coffee, teas and makes mimosas and cocktails! I grew up with tea, coffee and was lucky to travel the world since my dad was an airforce pilot. My mother is Korean so tea growing up was a part of our way of life. My father and I frequently visited coffee shops which is where I got my interest in coffee, beverages and innovation.

Growing up I saw the hardships my parents went through being minorities and/or immigrants. I am lucky to have extremely supportive parents who motivate me to achieve my dreams and through my perseverance break through the barriers they have experienced. I'm thankful for them, they are a hug part of my motivation besides my internal ambition to bring something new, innovated and positive to the world.
