Creating Communitea And Thinking Outside The Box As An Entrepreneur in WNY - Justine Duquette

Justine Duquette is the owner of Cup of Communitea, a tea retailer with over 200 thoughtfully sourced loose leaf teas from around the world and everything you need to steep your perfect cup. Buying her business right before COVID hit created chaos that could have shut her down but in getting creative she not only survived but thrived during the shutdown and the months thereafter.  Using out of the box thinking and marketing strategies she has already grabbed the attention of many and found herself branching out beyond just retail. With a lineup of virtual tea events, upcoming partnership programming, and new product lines to unveil her first year was just a warmup and there is a lot more to come from her and Cup of Communitea.
