Capital Teas

Capital Teas was founded by Peter and Manelle Martino in 2007. Until mid-2010, it operated one small retail store in Annapolis, Maryland. Since then, the company has continually grown at a rapid pace. The recipient of private funding totaling $11.0M over the past two years, Capital Teas more than doubled its revenue last year and plans to maintain a compounded annual growth rate of over 100%. Today, Capital Teas retail stores stretch from New Jersey to Florida along the U.S. East Coast. The company also ships teas to loyal patrons in all 50 states plus several international locations from its 8,000 sq. ft. headquarters and distribution center in Annapolis, Maryland. The company maintains one of the largest specialty tea collections with 200+ organic and natural teas and infusions from around the world, including unique Capital Teas blends. With an ever-growing base of retail stores and a strong web presence, Capital Teas executes its mission daily by educating people and inspiring lives through the wonders of tea, one cup at a time.
