Orleatha Smith pitches Sip Herbals, her caffeine free faux coffee business, in Shark Tank episode 1522, the Season 15 Finale. Her and her partner, Kelly Raulerson (not in the Tank), founded the business in December, 2020. Both women have entrepreneurial backgrounds and founded another business together before founding Sip. Their product is a coffee replacement they call “faux Joe.”
Both women enjoy the ritual of a hot cup of coffee or tea in the morning, but the caffeine often made them jittery. They wanted to create a beverage with the richness of coffee without the harmful effects of caffeine. What they came up with is a mixture of organic dandelion, organic chicory and organic carob that you brew like coffee or loose leaf tea. It has the richness they were looking for.
Those three ingredients are in the original Faux Joe flavor they sell. There are other flavors with additional flavors and (organic) ingredients. These include:Dirty Chai, Royal Mocha, French Vanilla, Salted Maple Blondie and Cinnamon Roll. They also sell in sample packs and they sell a coconut creamer and some brewing accessories. A 1 ounce packet with 6 servings costs $10 and a 6 ounce packet with 30 servings costs $24.99. They offer a 10% discount if you subscribe. Right now, they’re available on the company website, on the shelves at a dozen or so mom and pop markets and on Amazon. They likely want a Shark to help them get into national chains.
