Kingston, Ontario-based Tea Connexions is continuing its push into the U.S. market with a nationwide call for distributors.

In August, the specialty tea wholesaler announced it was opening three offices south of the border: a headquarters in St. Louis, Mo., a Western regional office in Pomona, Calif., and an Eastern regional office in Alpharetta, Ga.

With its new U.S. management team installed in these locations, Tea Connexions is now looking for exclusive area distributors, or EADs, to "manage and control" defined areas of the country, according to a company announcement.

"Tea Connexions USA is aggressively pursuing a growth strategy to capture market share in the specialty tea industry," the announcement stated. EADs will lead this growth.

Tea Connexions offers EADs below-wholesale discounts and responsibility over limited territories. The company will train distributors at monthly conferences in the St. Louis office. More information is available here.
