Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

“I am blown away by the consumer and retailer acceptance for Cusa Tea in just the first year,” Jim Lamancusa, Cusa Tea’s founder and CEO, said in a prepared statement. “Our plan was to be in 250 locations after the first year, and we have tripled that expectation. Not only that, we are consistently gaining more velocity and traction in the retailers that currently carry us. We have big plans for the rest of the year which include more distribution expansion, as well as several new flavors.”

To celebrate a year in business, Cusa Tea is debuting its new flavor, Chai.
