If you’re a #SharkTank fan, you may remember Shane Talbott and his partner, Steve Nakisher’s appearance on the show last year. Shortly after Kevin O’Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful, made them an offer they entered a new stratosphere of success that they never dreamed was possible.<\/p>\n
“I am a huge lover of tea, and wanted to bring that passion to what I was doing in the salon and spa world,” Talbott said in an interview with CNBC. “I wanted to work with the best ingredients that you can, and give people a new experience of tea that they didn’t know was possible.”<\/p>\n
He and Nakisher built their boutique tea company slowly, funding it by themselves and calling in favors. Being among Oprah’s Ultimate Favorite Things led to a spike in sales that had the sharks circling. I watched the show as each shark opted out due to the luxury item’s price point, reservations about the competitive tea market, etc. But, Mr Wonderful knows the luxury market and saw potential in Talbott Teas.<\/p>\n
