Champaign, IL -- Wednesday, April 6, 2011. World Tea Media awarded Tiesta Tea, a young startup company sponsored by the University of Illinois, the Best New Product in the category of Packaging for the 2011 World Tea Expo. The award commemorates the design and functionality of Tiesta Tea's tins.
"The design and functionality of the tins is superb," said Kim Jage, Executive Vice President of World Tea Media. "We loved the 'peek-a-boo' sides that offer a glimpse of the tea's special quality, while the packaging itself safeguards its freshness."
"No tea company has ever created tins with UV protected windows and a mechanical clasp on top," said Patrick Tannous, CEO of Tiesta Tea and former University of Illinois Chicago student in Communications. "I guess we were innovators."
