December 1, 2016 / TheNewswire / Toronto, Canada: Organic Garage Ltd. (CSE:OG) is pleased to announce a partnership with Toronto based robotics startup teaBOT, to provide Organic Garage customers a unique in-store experience through the teaBOT self serve kiosk, designed to serve customized grab-and-go loose leaf tea in seconds.

“We’re excited to partner with Organic Garage on the launch of our first teaBOT in a Canadian grocery and health food store. The team at Organic Garage has a passion for providing value-driven, unique experiences for their guests and we’re thrilled to be a part of that experience for their upcoming Junction Triangle store “said Nolan Schachter, Marketing Manager at teaBOT.

“teaBOT’s unique self-serve beverage technology is consistent with our focus on bringing high-value products and greater convenience to every customer of Organic Garage,” said the company’s CEO Matt Lurie. “Organic Garage embraces every opportunity to build new partnerships with innovative companies like teaBOT.  This represents a great partnership between two Canadian companies who are both focused on growth and expansion.”

The teaBOT kiosk is the first of its kind, giving users the ability to adjust ingredient ratios, flavour strength, and water temperature, resulting in thousands of possible combinations. The inspiration for the business came in 2013, when one of the co-founder’s mothers noticed missed on-the-go sales opportunities at their family tea business. This was especially the case during peak times when customers were leaving due to long lines. After graduating from the Silicon Valley based Y-Combinator accelerator program in the summer of 2015, the team returned home to Toronto to launch their first permanent teaBOT at the University of Toronto. teaBOT is rapidly expanding, with locations in select retail stores, educational institutions and corporate offices across North America.
