2024 review
We wish you all a most happy and fulfilling new year! As we step further into 2025, here's a review of 2024, Teapsule's launch year!
In February, we took a trip to Milan to customise our capsule machine, which allowed us to complete our first significant production in March. After months of R&D, we managed to launch Teapsule on April 15th!
In June, we held our first pop-up at Eleni Marneri Gallery in the centre of Athens, adorned with custom creations by Mari Aoyama. Then, in July, we organised a themed night at To Lokali Bar with 6 cocktails and 6 iced teas all made with teapsules. Ice tea, or freddo teapsule, was naturally much loved during the summer and most of all by Greeks of course.
This autumn was marked by myriad milestones, starting with placing 3rd in Forbes 30 Under 30 List for Greece. We were also part of CREAT's stall at Sial Paris, won Harvard University startup competition during its symposium in Crete, thereafter hosted a breakfast at Grecotel's Amirandes hotel, and enjoyed our very first stall at the 100% Hotel Show.
In November, we were invited by ARGO Brussels to present Teapsule under the umbrella of Greek innovation. We also started our many samplings which carried into December, including those at La Linda Bakery, Faidon's Winebar, Nora's Deli, and more. Finally, we ended December with a stand at the Athens Rum & Whisky Festival and a festive event at Eleni Marneri Gallery alongside artist Mari Aoyama.
We look back at 2024 with much gratitude and welcome 2025 with true excitement! - Nikitas & Ilia
