Jessica Burtenshaw, The Tea Spot’s Director of Development, announced “Being from the West Coast, I grew up going to Sur La Table stores with my father, a weekend warrior chef and avid collector of cooking gadgets. Naturally, I’m ecstatic that our latest Steepware® innovation is going to be carried at Sur La Table – the gourmet cook’s paradise.”

The first Sur La Table store opened in Seattle’s Pike Place Market in 1972 selling hard-to-find kitchenware imported from France. Since then the company has expanded to more than 75 stores nationwide, a direct-mail business distributing millions of catalogs each year, an e-commerce site, a gift registry, and a cooking class program. Sur La Table continues to carry many of the same products from France that it carried when it opened, but now offers tools from around the world to prepare any cuisine. Sur La Table remains committed to its roots by continuing to provide exceptional customer service and a broad assortment of premium-quality products. Sur La Table headquarters are located in Seattle, Washington.

Based in Boulder, Colorado, the company was founded in 2004 by Maria Uspenski, a cancer survivor drawn to the health benefits of green leaf tea during her recovery. She set forth to modernize the loose tea experience, making it an everyday luxury. Her message is simple and powerful: leaf tea in its freshest form renders incredible flavor, unmatched health benefits, and is eco-friendly. The company ensures that its teaware upholds clean, sustainable and fair manufacturing standards. The Tea Spot’s model of social entrepreneurship incorporates a culture of giving as it grows: Ten percent of every sale made is donated in-kind to cancer and community wellness programs.
