BUYER'S GUIDE
Specialty Coffee Retailer's Specialty Tea Buyer's Guide
was developed to help you quickly locate hundreds of products and
services from tea and tea-related vendors. You may also access this
Specialty Tea Buyer's Guide online at www.specialty-coffee.com.
The "Company Listings" section at the beginning of this
guide is an alphabetically organized list of company names, contacts,
addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, Web sites and e-mail addresses
for all companies included in this guide. The "Product/Service
Listings" section, starting on p. 40, is a listing of product
and service categories. Under each category is an alphabetical listing
of companies offering items in the category.
We hope you find this Specialty Tea Buyer's Guide useful for all
your tea-buying needs in the coming year.
