Reversals of Fortune in the Tea Industry
Part XL: Merger Mania
The Starbucks acquisition of The Coffee Connection is now over two decades old.
However, many of us still have fond memories of the original store in Harvard Square.
The Coffee Connection name and logo are now owned by Starbucks
A cartoon in The New Yorker once depicted an array of stores in a two-story shopping
mall, as viewed from the opposite side of the mall. Every store except one had a Starbucks
sign over the entrance. The single store with no sign above the entrance had a simple sign in
the window that read, “Coming Soon, Starbucks.” Is it inevitable that one day Starbucks will
capture the entire worldwide coffee market? Not if JAB Holding Company, the world’s
largest coffee conglomerate, can help it!

Several new 2016 spring-harvest teas have
been added to this issue of our newsletter. This
includes select first flush Darjeeling teas and some
exquisite Pre-Chingming China teas.
Additional Pre-Chingming China teas and
other select spring teas will be arriving soon. As
always, we will be purchasing a limited number of
these teas to be flown from source. New teas are
always posted on our website as soon as they arrive
and have been confirmed for quality.
First-time customers are often surprised to
see that packets and tins of tea are personalized.
Those who prefer no personalization, or who wish
to have alternate names printed on certain packets,
may specify their choice while ordering. Web
customers may do so during checkout (after
address confirmation). Refer to Our Packaging on

A note to our valued customers:
Just over a year ago we approached the Homer Laughlin China Company
to help us create a U.S. teapot utilizing the patented Chatsford®
Strainer System. We had just secured a license agreement with The
London Teapot Company, owner of the patents and trademark rights to
the Chatsford Strainer System, and were anxious to find the right
manufacturer for the ceramics.
There were a few minimum requirements, not the least of which was to
produce a product of the highest possible quality. Under the terms
of our license agreement, the strainer baskets for these teapots
would be provided by The London Teapot Company, but we could select
any U.S. manufacturer.
We first thought that finding the right ceramics manufacturer would
be very difficult. After all, aren’t all ceramics now made in Asia?
Karen, our Manager of Customer Service, suggested we contact the
U.S. manufacturer of Fiesta® ware, a
product that was introduced to the U.S.
market over 80 years ago, and is still
manufactured here. From our first
contact with the staff at Homer
Laughlin, we knew we had found the right
company. We encourage our customers to
visit their website and read the history
The first teapot, ready for firing.
of this great American company.
We recently received the first sample
of the 20-ounce Chatsford teapot from
Homer Laughlin. The quality was
exceptional. Shortly, we will receive
samples of the three colors that will
be introduced later this year. We
have symbolically chosen red, white,
and blue as the colors for our first
production run.
Fired and ready for glazing.

DIGITAL POCKET TEA SCALE
Scale in Cupwt mode weighs in
cup units, equal to 2.25 grams.
Premium teas come in a wide range of leaf styles, varying from fine CTC
grades to ultra bold-leaf white teas. This tremendous range of leaf style
makes measuring tea by volume imprecise. Our digital tea scale solves this
problem in a unique way, by introducing a special Cupweight mode. In this
mode, the scale displays the precise number of cups that a portion of tea will
yield, based on the industry standard of 2.25 grams per 6-ounce cup. Note
that this scale will also weigh in grams, ounces and pennyweight (dwt
mode).
SPECIFICATIONS
Capacity: 200g / 7.05 oz / 128.6 dwt / 88.88 Cupwt
Readability: 0.05g / 0.001 oz / 0.05 dwt / 0.01 ozt / 0.05 Cupwt

periodically calibrate their scale according to the instruction manual, we offer a
200-gram calibration weight. To test calibration, place a dime on the scale
platform. A dime will weigh approximately 2.25 grams (1.00 cupwt), depending on wear and condition.
Variation from 2.25 grams by more than 0.05 gram may indicate a need for calibration. Made in China.

TEA THERMOMETER
Using the right water temperature is very important when preparing a
cup of tea. We have created an easy-to-use, three-color temperature
circle, to indicate the appropriate temperature for steeping tea. The
circle is divided into three ranges:
Dial face has three colorcoded temperature zones
for steeping tea.
Green Tea: 140 – 180°F
Oolong Tea: 180 – 200°F
Black Tea: Up to 212°F
(green zone)
(blue zone)
(black zone)
At Upton Tea Imports, we find it easiest to use an electric kettle to heat the water to the boiling point, then place the stem of the thermometer into the kettle between the lid and rim, and
monitor the temperature until it lowers to the desired level. Caution: Let the water cool a bit
before removing the lid of a kettle and use extreme caution to avoid exposure to hot steam.
Note that the steeping temperature on our packets is a recommendation only. You may find
that certain teas are more suited to your palate when steeped at a higher or lower temperature. Vary the steeping temperature and length of time to achieve the desired strength and
flavor profile that optimizes your enjoyment. As always, there is no substitute for experimentation.
When using this thermometer for other purposes, do not expose the dial face and plastic lens to high
heat. Note that calibration may be required occasionally to make sure the boiling point matches the
appropriate temperature for boiling water at your altitude. The adjustment nut at the base of the
thermometer dial will rotate the dial face for simple calibration adjustments. Made in China.

Upton Tea Imports is in the process of
designing a new version of the
Chatsford Teapot. The ceramic base and
lid for this teapot will be produced
exclusively for us by a highly regarded
U.S. manufacturer under license from
The London Teapot Company. They
will be fitted with Chatsford infuser
baskets that are compatible with all
previous versions of the Chatsford
Teapot.
Please stay tuned!
Porcelain Chatsford Teapot
This sturdy version of the Chatsford Teapot is designed for catering use. The ceramics are manufactured in
South Korea, source of some of the finest porcelain teapots produced today. The black infuser basket
(included) has the lift-out tab on the right side of the handle (catering-style, like the Steelite® teapot, which has
been discontinued). This configuration is also convenient for left-handed imbibers! Available only in 2-cup size
(white only), the East style, with a sturdy stainless steel handle. Order the Catering Version of the strainer basket

We are pleased to offer the premium line of Chatsford Teapots and accessories in sturdy English bone
china. The color is pure white. An accent stripe along the top rim and on the handle adds an interesting
touch, while maintaining elegant simplicity. The infuser basket is color-coordinated with the accent
stripe. Available only from Upton Tea Imports, these units are attractively boxed and make a perfect gift.
Refer to page 56 (back cover) for pricing and accessory items.
Note that this line has been out of production for several years. We were fortunate to have learned of this early on, and we
purchased the entire remaining stock of teapots and matching accessories, as listed on page 56.

Upton Tea Quarterly
For those who enjoy receiving our newsletter
Unlike mainstream mail-order companies, we do
not flood the mail with catalogs; only four issues of the
Upton Tea Quarterly are mailed each year. We only send a
catalog to customers who request it and who order with
some regularity, which can be as little as once every two
years.
New callers who do not specify that we send only
one catalog will receive approximately six catalogs over an
eighteen month period. Those who place at least one
order during that period will continue to receive the
Quarterly.
There have been a few instances where customers
have been ordering regularly and suddenly stop receiving
our Quarterly, even though they prefer to continue
receiving it. The simple example is where a customer has
moved and not notified us of their change of address.
Normally, bulk mailings do not receive forwarding service
from the U.S. Post Office. Another example is where a
web account is established at www.uptontea.com and an
unintended newsletter subscription preference is set.
An existing customer who establishes a new web
account might choose to NOT be kept on the mailing
list. This would be done by selecting the NO option at
the question “Do you want to receive a hard copy of our
quarterly catalog in the mail?” While the default is YES,
overriding to NO will establish this preference for the
existing account. Customers who have a web account are
urged to review the section “Your Account”, subsection
“Newsletter and Email Subscriptions” to determine your
subscription status.
Summer, 2016
Under “Receive our Newsletter/Catalog by
Mail?” there is a radio button indicating your current
preference and another button to change it. As always,
you can call our Customer Service department during
normal business hours if you have any questions on this.
Upton Tea Imports’
Organic Certification
Upton Tea Imports is certified by Baystate
Organic Certifiers as a handler and repacker of organic
teas. Under the guidelines of the USDA National
Organic Program (NOP), we only label teas as organic if
they are NOP certified.
The United States now has a recognition
agreement with Japan. This allows a foreign government
to accredit certifying agents (e.g. JONA) in that country
to the USDA NOP organic standards. These agents are
authorized to certify organic farms and processors to
ensure that the organic products meet or exceed all
USDA NOP standards. When we import an item that
comes factory-packed, it will say it is Certified Organic
by JONA. Because we are not repacking these items, they
will be marked with a “J” in our catalog and are certified
by JONA to the NOP standards.
We also sell a few teas that are certified organic
for the EU market but not the US market. These teas will
not be labeled as organic but we will mark them in the
catalog with an “E” to indicate its organic certification in
the European Union (e.g., page 45).

We now have handcrafted borosilicate glass teapots in two styles. The first style, pictured on the left, comes in two sizes and is

lid and infuser. Note that the second series has a wire coil filter at the base of the spout, which can be removed if desired. When
steeping bold-leaf Oolongs and display teas, the wire coil will effectively filter the tea leaves, eliminating the need for the large
stainless steel infuser. These teaWith Glass Lid and Infuser

Packaging Options
Please note that we personalize the labels on our packets of tea, unless you request that we not do so. The default name on the
packet label is the ship-to recipient. Any text, up to 36 characters, may be substituted for the recipient’s name. Up to three
different names may be specified for groups of teas on an order at no additional charge. There is no limit for personalization at our
website. Our teas are offered in sample quantities as well as a range of packet sizes and optional tin. The smallest size packet is
referred to as a single packet or standard packet. In most cases we pack the standard packet with 125 grams (4.4 ounces). The
gram weights in our price list are indicated in the columns to the right of the tea header as indicated below. The single packet size
is also available in a plug-top British style tea tin at $2.00 above the single packet price. Tins contain the same net weight as that
listed in the column immediately to the left of the “In Tin” column. We also offer extra large (-H) packet sizes and jumbo (-K)
packets in some cases. Note that packets are heat-sealed to protect freshness. Single- and double-size packets are resealable
with a convenient zip-lock closure.

Our teas are hand-packed by us in a variety of sizes. Larger packet prices reflect the savings incurred by us in labor, as well as
reduced margins for large quantity purchases. Savings will vary depending on the scarcity and cost of the tea. When ordering
the largest size packets, we recommend dispensing a portion of the tea into a small canister which can serve for daily use.
Remember to roll the top of the larger bag tightly to remove excess air before sealing to minimize air exposure and maintain
freshness. We suggest ordering only the amount of tea which will be consumed in three months.
*Note SAMPLES
At the request of many of our customers, we now offer all of our teas in sample-size quantities at a nominal price of approximately
20% of a single packet price. Samples start at $1.00 for teas valued at $7.49 or less per packet, and go up as the value of the tea
increases. Each item has the sample price in the left price column (with an "S" suffix for an item code). Sample weights are
approximately 12% of a single packet weight. This sample pricing policy will allow you to try all of our teas at a reasonable price.

DARJEELING DISTRICT
Teas from the Darjeeling district of northern India are prized for their delicate flavor and aroma. The liquor ranges in color from
golden-yellow to rich amber. Steeping time and quantity of tea are a matter of taste. We recommend 3 minutes for most
Darjeeling teas. Broken-leaf Darjeeling is usually best when steeped for a minute or less.

2016 PRE-CHINGMING CHINA TEAS
The festival of Chingming (Qingming) is a 2,500 year old tradition in which people visit the burial sites of their ancestors to pay
respect. It is significant in Chinese tea culture because it serves as a demarcation between a distinct Pre-Chingming plucking
period and the subsequent plucking period occurring after the festival date (usually around April 5). Pre-Chingming teas are
prized for their delicacy and subtle, fresh nuances. In the past we have offered a limited number of Pre-Chingming teas in other

This tea is named after the town of Pu-Erh in Yunnan province, where it originated. It is produced from the large-leaf Yunnan variety of tea and it is made in loose-leaf form and cakes of various sizes, including compressed tuo cha (small, bowl-shaped cakes).
Pu-Erh tea has a unique character due to a double fermentation (oxidation) process which imparts an earthy flavor and aroma.
Those unfamiliar with this tea are urged to try a sample before buying larger quantities. Pu-Erh teas are especially appropriate for
multiple infusions, and yield a flavorful cup even when using less tea than that recommended for other types of tea.
China Pu-Erh Leaf: This leaf-format Pu-Erh yields dark liquor with
strong earthy notes in the traditional style. A good value for this Yunnan

O Japanese Premium Organic Sencha Fukamushi: Fukamushi ('Deep-Steam') manufacture
requires special processing and a longer steaming time than traditional Sencha, resulting in a
sweet, rich taste and thick cup. The tea takes on a broken appearance, with a mixture of fine TJ03S: $3.80
TJ03: $18.00
particles and larger leaf. Fukamushi Sencha is prized for its superior taste, rather than the
visual appearance of its leaf. The fifty-gram packets are factory packed and nitrogen flushed.
Certified organic, this tea was grown in Kagoshima prefecture using an Okumidori cultivar.
Sencha Tokujyo Ohashiri: We are pleased to offer this competition-grade Sencha. The flavor is smooth and multi-layered, with a sweet aspect and brothy mouth feel. The aroma is
complex and lightly vegetal.
88th Night Shincha: This Shincha (first flush) tea is harvested on the 88th day of spring, and
is manufactured using the traditional "lightly-steamed process." The tea is made from the
unique "Okumidori" varietal, known for yielding a very sweet and aromatic cup. The liquor has
a mild aroma, with pleasant floral notes, accented by a delicate hint of freshly cut hay.
O Organic Tamaryokucha: Tamaryokucha ("coiled tea") is a superb, handcrafted green tea
with a full, complex flavor. Vegetal notes and a pleasing pungency are accentuated by hints of
dark berries and a sweet aftertaste. Produced in Takachiho, Miyazaki from the Yabukita
cultivar.
COMPETITION TEA
Competition Temomicha Grade A: This selection was created using time-honored, handprocessing techniques that go back centuries. The cup has a soft and buttery complexion with
a range of complex flavor notes. The liquor is extremely well-balanced and finishes on a clean,
sweet note. The twenty-gram packets are factory packed and nitrogen flushed. Samples are
repackaged at our facility. Produced in Shizuoka prefecture from the Saemidori cultivar.

O Organic Black Benifuki: Although somewhat rare, black tea has been cultivated and produced in
Japan for almost 150 years. Production is limited and seldom exported. Our offering is produced in
TJ74S
Kagoshima prefecture from the Benifuki cultivar. The liquor is smooth and rich, with no astringency. A
light, grape-like sweetness can be discerned in the aroma. The cup is lively, with a light woody hint and $3.50
a sweetness that develops over time. Best enjoyed plain.

DECAFFEINATED TEAS
Our teas are decaffeinated using pure carbon dioxide or ethyl acetate. Both processes remove at least 99.9% of the caffeine and are
approved by the USFDA. The flavored decaffeinated teas are flavored with nature-identical (artificial) flavorings. Note that methylene
chloride is used in some decaffeination processes for teas sold outside of the U.S.

PREMIUM DECAFFEINATED TEAS
All decaffeination processes used for tea are problematic, and remove flavor as well as caffeine. Teas flavored after decaffeination, such
as Earl Grey, will be less compromised, since the added flavoring oils constitute the dominant flavor component. Even these, however,
lack some of the character that tea drinkers appreciate. There is one company that is approaching this problem in a unique way. They
start with grades of tea that would ordinarily be considered too good for the flavor-robbing decaffeination process. They then sort the final
product to eliminate most of the smaller leaf particles that decaffeination produces. Predictably, the result is a superior final product.

Reversals of Fortune in the
Tea Industry, Part XL
Founded by George Howell in 1975, The
Coffee Connection was a prototypical overnight success. Located in the heart of Cambridge’s Harvard Square, Howell’s first store
became a caffeine bethel for students, professors, tourists and anyone who worked within
a few (or more) miles of The Square.
George Howell effectively introduced
New England to the West Coast coffee revolution, which began nearly a decade earlier
when Alfred Peet opened his first store in
Berkeley, California on April 1, 1966.
Just like Alfred Peet, George Howell recognized that the American tea market was
even more poorly served than the coffee market. Even though it accounted for less than
ten percent of beverage sales, The Coffee Connection offered a credible variety of quality
loose leaf teas.
When Starbucks acquired The Coffee Connection in 1994, they agreed to keep the original signage for two thirds of Howell’s stores
for a period of two years. It was also agreed
that Howell was to be the sole source of all of
the coffees sold in stores that carried The Coffee Connection signage. Not only did this
ensure brief continuity to George Howell’s
legacy, it also afforded him an opportunity to
develop closer connections with coffee growers. This paved the way for his next venture,
which he undertook once the terms of his
non-compete agreement expired.
Starbucks was keen to establish a foothold
in New England, so signage for the flagship
Harvard Square store was changed promptly,
along with that of other prominent locations.
No provisions were made for continuity of
the tea menu, so the line of teas formerly
offered by The Coffee Connection was
promptly replaced by the Tazo brand, which
had just been acquired by Starbucks.
Almost immediately, tea sales at Upton
Tea Imports increased by twenty percent. In
order to quell the disruptions caused by dis-
 (800)234-8327  www.uptontea.com
Summer, 2016
gruntled tea customers, Starbucks baristas
were instructed to give those customers the
phone number of Upton Tea Imports. It
seemed like a grand scheme until Upton Tea
Imports started receiving calls from newly
acquired tea customers who observed that the
teas they had just received were not really the
same as those they had been getting from The
Coffee Connection. Most notably, The Coffee
Connection’s Earl Grey tea, along with a few
other flavored teas, generated the greatest
angst.
It didn’t take long to figure out what was
happening. The principal source (perhaps the
only source) of teas for The Coffee Connection
happened to be the U.S. agent for a German
tea company that Upton Tea Imports also used
for several teas. Even then, however, Upton
Tea Imports had several sources of tea. Our
Earl Grey tea was supplied by a boutique British blender that supplied specialty tea shops
in the U.K., Canada, Australia and Japan.
Our flavored teas, in most part, were supplied
by a German tea blender, but not the same
German tea blender that supplied The Coffee
Connection. The subtle differences in flavor
profiles of these teas were not especially subtle
to tea enthusiasts who daily enjoyed their
favorite tea.
Things soon became even more complicated. Not only had George Howell been
sourcing his Earl Grey tea from a different tea
blender, we learned that his Earl Grey tea was
a custom formula that he had developed
exclusively for The Coffee Connection. There
was no other recourse; Upton Tea Imports
added a new Earl Grey tea to its catalog, while
retaining our original English Earl Grey to
assure continuity of that tea’s unique flavor
profile.
Which Earl Grey tea is better? This is a
subjective determination for every individual. Some tea drinkers loathe the very scent,
while others drink it daily. The fact that no
single Earl Grey tea is preferred by all Earl
Grey tea drinkers attests to the complexity
and marvels of the human palate!

Upton Tea Quarterly
Two decades have passed since the demise
of The Coffee Connection. George Howell,
however, jumped back into coffee as soon as
his five-year non-compete agreement expired.
It began with selling his distinctive Terroir®
Coffee online at georgehowellcoffee.com. Since
then his venture has expanded into coffee
cafes bearing his name. A third store will be
located in The Godfrey Hotel, scheduled to
open in winter 2016.
A recent phone conversation with George
Howell gave the writer a chance to reflect on
the rewards and challenges of entrepreneurship, and the folly of attempting to grow a
successful business too fast. Fearing the inevitable competition that Starbucks would bring
to the New England coffee market in the
mid-1990s, Howell had taken on venture
capital. This provided the funds to grow rapidly, but with that he lost control of his company. Howell will not make the same mistake
this time around. While he would welcome
another investor for his expansion, he insists
he will not relinquish control. Any investor in
George Howell Coffee will have to be content
as a silent partner.
The purchase of The Coffee Connection
was only one of many Starbucks acquisitions
that were solely intended as the procurement
of new store locations for the expansion of the
Starbucks brand. Other acquisitions within
the coffee and tea industry have had a very
different objective, which may be simply
defined as a “brand acquisition.” Such acquisitions are done by entities that perceive
untapped potential in an established brand.
One of the most active entities in this arena is
Luxembourg based JAB Holding Company
(JAB), with offices in London, Mannheim,
and Washington, DC.
JAB acquired Peet’s Coffee and Tea in
2012, and subsequently added Mighty Leaf
Tea (2014), followed by Stumptown Coffee
Roasters and Intelligentsia Coffee (2015), all
under their Peet’s subsidiary. Roughly two
months after acquiring Peet’s, they signed a
 (800)234-8327  www.uptontea.com
Page 49
deal to purchase Minnesota-based Caribou
Coffee, which had over 600 stores operating in
22 states and 10 countries.
Most recently, JAB acquired Keurig Green
Mountain, and with Jacobs Douwe Egberts,
JAB controls a network of brands in over 100
countries. Those brands include Jacobs, Tassimo, Moccona, Marcilla, Merrild, Kanis &
Gunnink, Jacqmotte, L’ARÔME, Moka, L’Or,
Pickwick, Caboclo, Damasco, Harris, Prima,
Omnia, Senseo, Douwe Egberts, Kenco, Pilão,
Bach Espresso, Bravo, Maison du Café, Hornimans, Tea Forté, and Gevalia. Their Nordic
brands, Baresso Coffee and Espresso House, add
to their long list of premium labels worldwide, but the list doesn’t end there.
The contrast between the single Starbucks
brand and the collection of premium brands
assembled by JAB Holdings is striking. With
the former, the original identity of the
acquired company, such as that of The Coffee
Connection, was replaced by the Starbucks
identity. With the latter, the unique identity
of the acquired brand is preserved to capitalize on the good will that the brand has captured from loyal customers.
Preserving the identity of a brand is an
impossible challenge as a single-store, owner
operated cafe grows into a national (or worldwide) chain. Both The Coffee Connection and
Peet’s Coffee and Tea are prime examples of
this reality. That one brand is history and
another lives on is merely a matter of fate.
Brands that survive for decades, and even
centuries, invariably evolve over time. One of
the most interesting examples of this is the
evolution of the Douwe Egberts half of the
Jacobs Douwe Egberts brand mentioned above.
The origin of Douwe Egberts dates as far
back as 1753, when a gentleman by the name
of Mr. Egbert opened The White Ox, a small
grocery shop in Joure, Netherlands. In 1780,
ownership of The White Ox was transferred to
his eldest son, Douwe, who expanded the
operation into a trading company, specializing in White Ox branded coffee, tea, and
tobacco. By the 1920’s, the company was

Page 50
Upton Tea Quarterly
renamed Douwe Egberts and its coffee and tea
products were rebranded under the Douwe
Egberts label.
The White Ox “roll-your-own” tobacco
brand was retained and, through various
acquisitions, Douwe Egberts tobacco labels
eventually included Amphora, Drum, Winner,
and Van Nelle. In 1969, Douwe Egberts
acquired Kanis & Gunnink, a competing
Dutch coffee company.
In 1978, the entire Douwe Egberts operation was acquired by Consolidated Foods Corporation (CFC). Wait a minute! Wasn’t CFC
originally C. D. Kenny, the Baltimore company that was sued by Martin Gillet & Co.,
Inc. for trademark infringement (Reversals of
Fortune in the Tea Industry, Part XXVIII)? To
put everything in perspective, a time line of
merger and acquisitions of Sara Lee Corp.,
published at fundinguniverse.com, provides
some details:
1939: Nathan Cummings buys C. D. Kenny
Company, a small wholesale distributor of
sugar, coffee, and tea based in Baltimore.
1942: Sprague, Warner & Company, distributor of canned and packaged food, is acquired;
company relocates to Chicago and is renamed
Sprague Warner-Kenny Corporation.
1945: Company changes name to Consolidated
Grocers Corporation.
1946: Company goes public with a listing on
the New York Stock Exchange.
1954: Company changes name to Consolidated
Foods Corporation (CFC).
1956: The Kitchens of Sara Lee, maker of frozen baked goods, is acquired; CFC also acquires
34 Piggly Wiggly supermarkets.
1966: Under order from the Federal Trade
Commission, CFC agrees to divest its supermarket division; the company acquires its first
meat company, E. Kahn's Sons Company, and
its first nonfood company, Oxford Chemical
Corporation.
1968: CFC enters the apparel industry with the
purchase of Gant shirts.
1971: Hillshire Farm is acquired.
1978: CFC acquires Douwe Egberts, a Dutch
coffee, tea, and tobacco producer.
1979: The hostile takeover of undergarment
maker Hanes Corporation is completed.
 (800)234-8327  www.uptontea.com
Summer, 2016
1984: Jimmy Dean Meats is acquired.
1985: CFC changes its name to Sara Lee Corporation; the company acquires the foreign subsidiaries of Nicholas Kiwi Limited, an
Australian maker of shoe care and other products, and also buys Coach leatherware.
1987: Dutch household goods conglomerate
Akzo is acquired.
1991: Undergarment maker Playtex is acquired.
1998: Sara Lee sells its tobacco unit to Imperial
Tobacco Group.
1999: Company acquires coffee brands Chock
Full o' Nuts, Hills Bros., MJB, and Chase &
Sanborn.
2000: Company acquires Courtaulds Textiles
plc, leading seller of intimate apparel and
underwear in the United Kingdom; partial
interest in Coach is sold through an IPO; foodservice distributor PYA/Monarch is sold for
$1.56 billion.
2001: Remaining stake in Coach is spun off to
Sara Lee shareholders; Sara Lee purchases the
second largest bakery in the United States, The
Earthgrains Company.
On July 4, 2012, the North American
operations of Sara Lee Corporation was reincorporated as Hillshire Brands, only to merge
with Tyson Foods in August 2014. The international beverage component of Sara Lee Corporation was sold to JAB Holding Company
and rebranded as D.E Master Blenders 1753.
How this will all end is unknown.
Throughout history brands have come and
gone. Many brands, like Eight O’Clock Coffee,
have outlived their creator.
Introduced in 1919 by The Great Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Company (A&P) as their store
brand, Eight O’Clock Coffee became the largest
selling U.S. coffee brand, capturing roughly a
third of the entire market. By 2003, A&P was
desperate for cash, and trademark rights to
Eight O’Clock Coffee were sold to a private
investment firm. Three years later those rights
were sold to India’s Tata Global Beverages.
A&P finally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
and closed their doors on November 25,
2015.

FINUM® TEA FILTER BAGS FOR
CONVENIENT STEEPING
INFUSERS AND STRAINERS
Tea strainers (sieves) and infusers are unnecessary if you
use an infuser teapot (e.g., a Chatsford Teapot, page 5).
For other teapots, we recommend allowing the tea to
steep unrestricted (without infuser) and pouring the tea
through a fine-mesh strainer (e.g., AS24 below) after
steeping. Alternately, infusers can be used to contain the
leaves and allow removal of the used tea leaves. For
brewing in a mug at home or at work, we recommend the
Chatsford Mug Infuser, below, and the wide range of
Finum® products at the right and on page 53.
For pure simplicity, we find the Chatsford
line of products to be unbeatable. However,
many of our customers have found these
oxygen-bleached paper filter bags to be
convenient alternatives. Our taste tests have
found that Finum oxygen-bleached bags are
among the few that are taste-neutral.
FINUM FILTER BAGS and PLASTIC HOLDER
CHATSFORD MUG INFUSER
The perfect solution for steeping a single cup or mug of
tea. The infuser basket is suitable for
all types of tea, from very fine-leaf
English teas to large-leaf Oolongs. It
is very strong in construction, dishwasher-safe, and with proper care
will last many years. The brown
infuser basket is the same as item
AS11B (page 5), which sells for $5.60. This boxed version
includes a handy lid, which retains heat during steeping
and doubles as a trivet. Made in the U.K.
Item AS31 (Chatsford Mug Infuser with lid): $6.40
(Mass. price $6.80, incl. 6¼% sales tax)
COTTON TEA SOCK
A universal infuser for virtually any teapot. The coated wire hoop (available in
3¼" and 4¼" diameter sizes) rests on
the top of your teapot. Even the smallest tea particles are retained in the sock.
Item: AI52 (Size 2 cotton tea sock): $2.40
(Mass. price $2.55, incl. 6¼% sales tax)
Item AI53 (Size 3 cotton tea sock): $2.72
(Mass. price $2.89, incl. 6¼% sales tax)
PERMA-BREW® INFUSERS
The mesh is made of laboratory grade polyester filter
screen, retaining all tea particles
over 225 microns (.0088 inches).
The frame is made of high density polypropylene. They are
Pot Infuser Cup Infuser
dishwasher-safe. Made in China.
Item AI23 (Perma-Brew pot infuser): $3.20
(Mass. price $3.40, incl. 6¼% sales tax)
The filter holder concept illustrated in figures 1-2, below,
works best in a mug but, as illustrated in figures 3-4, it can
be used in most teapots. The papers (figure 1) slip snugly
over the base of the holder (figure 2). Holder and filter
bags are sold separately.

FINUM FILTER BAGS and METAL CLIP
The “Tea Click” (figure 5) is a handy way to secure the top
Figure 5
of the four filter bags listed
below. Simply flex the clip
open, insert the top of the
bag, and flex it closed.
The filter (infuser) bags come in four sizes. We recommend the larger sizes
for those ultra bold-leaf
green and white teas,
even when you are
steeping a cup or two.

Filter Bags for use with Finum “Tea Click”
Item
When steeped in a teapot without a strainer
basket or infuser, tea must usually be poured
through a sieve when the steeping is finished.
A proper tea strainer will rest on the mug or cup
and will have a fine mesh to capture the fine
tea particles found in most loose teas.

Gift Suggestions
Choosing a gift for someone new to loose tea can be
a difficult task when there are over 400 selections in
a catalog. Our sampler sets (p. 47) are quite popular
as introductions to tea, and pair nicely with a
Finum Filter Tea Cup (page 53). Purchasing tea for
an experienced tea drinker can be equally challenging. As someone who has been drinking tea for
some time has likely settled into a personal niche, it
can be difficult to select something that is just right.
While a gift certificate (p. 51) is appropriate for any
level of tea enjoyment, it frequently makes an even
better gift for a long-time tea drinker.
Individualitea in Specialty Teas is a 20-page
overview of the major tea-growing areas of
Sri Lanka, as well as a guide to Ceylon tea
grades, from OP to FBOPF Ex Sp. Get a
copy for yourself and two more for gifts!
