AmbassadorsOur StoryHello, we Geoffrey Nault and Angeline Patenaude are a husband and wife team and are the proud founders of Exquisite Taste.Many people ask us how this business came to be and why loose-leaf tea?Interesting enough, our business concept was created out of our initial years of courting. We had a standard date every Monday where we participated in a Yoga class and afterward would go back to Angeline's parents' house for a nice cup of loose-leaf tea to end our evening. We did this for three years and enjoyed every moment of it. Both of us being entrepreneurial minded and inspired to start our own business, we began pursuing a mutual dream and passion, hence the idea of Exquisite Taste was born in the summer of 2010.As our relationship grew stronger, so did our love of tea.
Chinese Ancient TeaTie GuanyinBubble Tea originated in Taiwan in the early 1980's at a small tea stand. Elementary school children would look forward to buying a cup of refreshing tea after a long, hard day of work and play. Tea stands were set up in front of the schools and would compete for business with the best selling tea. One concession owner became popular with her tea when she started adding different fruit flavoring to her tea. Because of the sweet and cool taste, children loved the taste. Soon, other concessions heard about the 'unique' and popular te,a so they started to add flavoring to their teas. When adding flavor, the tea and flavoring needed to be shaken well for a good all around taste.
