Millennia TEA Included in Game Changers Report Celebrating Canada’s Female Led Natural and Bio-Based Companies

Natural Products Canada releases first female-focused report for International Women’s Day.

Millennia TEA is thrilled to announce their inclusion in Game Changers: Leading Companies. Powered by Women, an initiative led by Natural Products Canada (NPC).  This new list of over 100 companies provides an interesting look at the women leading Canada’s growing natural and bio-based industries. Millennia TEA is flipping the conventional tea-making model on its head. Instead of drying tea leaves, they wash and flash freeze them. The result is the first frozen edible raw tea, and the cleanest, greenest source of energy and antioxidants on the market. 

NPC is a national organization that supports bio-based innovation, and this first of its kind Game Changers report showcases the breadth of female leadership in Canadian companies that are creating economic and social impact through their natural and bio-based products. The report features companies from across the country with products designed for consumers seeking new options for their health and wellness such as food, beauty and personal care items, as well as industrial products such as bio resins and biopesticides that help corporations looking to reduce their carbon footprint and meet their sustainability goals.

“Canadians should be proud of these innovative companies that are delivering better, healthier options for people and the planet,” says Shelley King, CEO, Natural Products Canada. “The women leading these companies are truly making a difference, and we are very proud to provide this platform to introduce them to new customers and partners.”

Game Changers: Leading Companies. Powered by Women is sponsored by TD.
