Drop, Stir, and Sip – for Elevated Beverages – Teaspressa
By Chef David
Making kosher craft beverages and cocktails is as simple as 1, 2, 3 with Teaspressa. Drop a flavor cube into your beverage of choice and stir until it dissolves. The result is an elevated beverage that tastes like it was made by a master barista or bartender, prepared at home, or on the go. Teaspressa is pareve, certified kosher by the OU. (Note: Hot Chocolate is not certified kosher.)
With Teaspressa, anyone can create a sophisticated drinking experience.

The Teaspressa Experience
Teaspressa uses flavor-infused sugar cubes to enhance beverages, elevating coffees, teas, mocktails, and cocktails. As the sugar dissolves, it releases concentrated flavors, glitter, essential oils, and even some with botanical toppings. It lets you personalize your beverage, making it caffeinated or decaffeinated, warm or cold, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Since you are only adding a cube, beverages will have a consistent taste profile.
There is no complicated measuring or mess from using syrups or powders. Your only decision is how many cubes to use. The process is designed to be effortless (and it is). At 15 calories per cube, these beverages just feel decadent.

Allison DeVane, founder of Teaspressa, appeared on Season 7 of Shark Tank in 2016. Her initial concept was to create a “Starbucks of tea,” by using a patented pressure-extraction method to brew concentrated tea shots which provide the caffeine of a traditional espresso with the energy (L-theanine) of tea, an amino acid known for promoting calm, focused mental clarity. The Sharks passed on the opportunity. Teaspressa sales grew, and DeVane moved forward, opening the first Teaspressa store. DeVane started the company in Jan 2015, selling tea on a laundry cart in the streets of Phoenix, a product handmade in Phoenix, Arizona. COVID-19 forced her to close down the shops and pivot to selling online.
LUXE Mixer Cubes
The LUXE Mixer Cubes let the kosher consumer experience elevated barista brews and a wide array of cocktails by adding a flavor cube. We sampled a number of the LUXE cubes, but with so many varieties, organized into collections, it would be impossible to try them all.
We recommend not storing Teapressa in a humid environment, because it can affect the consistency of the cubes, making some too hard to muddle.

Our Thoughts
The concept of capturing flavor in a cube is ingenious. Teaspressa creates a wide array of distinctive flavor profiles with simple organic ingredients, delicious combinations we never would have envisioned.
The preparation was so simple that all we had to do was muddle, dissolving the cube and creating a perfect elevated drink.
We liked the packaging, which was clean and elegant. They created a Teaspressa pack specific for milestone events (weddings, birthdays, even kiddish). Teaspressa comes in a range of sizes (mini – 6 cubes, stick – 12 cubes, jar – 25 cubes). It makes a unique gift for memorable moments, birthdays, bachelorette parties, weddings, BBQ, Shabbos meals, or Yom Tov.
Teaspressa is a great gift to give or get. With so many different flavors and kosher offerings to choose from, you can’t go wrong. Drop, muddle, and mix to elevate your beverage, then sip and enjoy.
