With regards to zombies, you by no means know after they’ll spring again to life.
As we realized this previous month, the identical goes for zombie merchandise. Teforia, the eponymous good tea infuser that vanished when the corporate abruptly shut down within the fall of 2017, is again after almost a decade. A New Jersey-based tea firm named Adagio Teas has apparently acquired the belongings and is now promoting Teforia tea infusers on its web site.
In its announcement, Adagio referenced the monetary issues that led to Teforia’s closure however mistakenly received the timeline flawed. The discharge states that Teforia initially launched in 2018, when it really shut down the 12 months earlier than:
“Initially launched in 2018 to widespread acclaim, Teforia was discontinued resulting from monetary constraints, leaving a faithful neighborhood of tea drinkers eager for its return. Now, Adagio Teas is bringing this beloved innovation again, combining cutting-edge know-how with the artistry of advantageous tea.”
“We acknowledged the deep ardour that tea drinkers had for Teforia and its skill to raise the tea expertise,” mentioned Michael Cramer, CEO of Adagio Teas. “As an organization devoted to offering the highest-quality loose-leaf teas, we noticed an unimaginable alternative to deliver Teforia again and reintroduce a better, extra intuitive option to take pleasure in tea.”
On the time of its authentic launch, Teforia attracted consideration as a result of its creators claimed it may personalize every brew with exact quantities of caffeine, antioxidants, and different components. Moreover, the {hardware} had a particular and interesting design that stood out within the tea world.
Sadly, the product by no means gained widespread recognition, probably resulting from its preliminary $1,500 price ticket. Whereas the newly re-released model is considerably extra inexpensive at $500, many potential consumers would possibly nonetheless query why they’d put money into what stays a premium-priced tea brewer, particularly when established manufacturers like Breville provide comparable “good” tea brewers for roughly half that value.
I’m curious to see if Teforia can succeed on its second try. The tea and know-how panorama in 2025 is vastly totally different from a decade in the past, with many tech-powered tea infusers accessible. Nonetheless, backed by a good tea firm, maybe Teforia stands a greater probability this time round.
