Meet the Presenters of "Making Dollars and Sense of Selling Organic"-
Beth Johnston-
Beth Johnston discovered her passion for tea while on her honeymoon in 1998. Shortly thereafter she founded Teas Etc., an industry recognized supplier of wholesale premium bulk, pre-packaged, private label teas and accessories. Her extensive travels have afforded her the opportunity to evaluate tea with some of the world’s masters. In a defining moment Teas Etc. became the ONLY female owned company to win World Tea Championship hot tea category in 2008 and 2009, continuing every year thereafter with numerous wins in multiple categories. The company’s success is driven by Beth’s creative, high-energy, no none-sense business style and an unwavering commitment to quality and customer experience.
