Acquisition Signals Recent news of Harris Tea Co.'s acquisition by TreeHouse Foods signals strong demand for scale in the tea private-label space and points to expanding distribution channels. This creates opportunities to engage retailers seeking private-label partnerships and to explore collaboration with large channel partners on manufacturing, co-packing, or ramping existing private-label lines.
