Honest Tea (U.S.) is a bottled organic tea company based in Bethesda, Maryland. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Coca-Cola Company. Honest Tea is known for its organic and fair trade products and is one of the fastest growing private companies. Honest Tea started off with a handful of employees bringing out five products, three of which are still in the market. Today the company has over 35 package varieties of not only tea but other beverages as well. Honest Tea caters to a group of customers that prefer organic or low calorie beverages over other types of beverages. Honest Tea finds that it must continually adapt to changing circumstances and environments. Initially organic or low calorie tea was the only product, but the firm has expanded to various other beverages. Honest Tea believes that growth is continuous; the firm should never consider that they have finished achieving what they set out to accomplish?
