Each year, the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce selects Business Excellence Award winners from nominations gathered from the community. Thanks to our fellow tea lovers for suggesting us!
“These awards are our way of celebrating the incredible amount of excellence around us and awarding the truly deserving – those whose contributions elevate our community and make it a better place for everyone to do business, work and lives.” –OmahaChamber.org
“2020 will forever be remembered as the year a global pandemic brought the world to a screeching halt. While scientists raced to find a vaccine, businesses everywhere – and small businesses specifically – faced unexpected and unprecedented challenges. But amidst the uncertainty a simple truth emerged: the American spirit is truly unconquerable. This year’s Business Excellence Award winners all share a common theme: the refusal to give in to COVID-19. Instead, they relied on their innovation, leadership, and philanthropy to serve our community like never before.”
At The Tea Smith, we emphasize a welcoming atmosphere for both employees and customers, and love learning and imparting knowledge about all aspects of tea.
The Omaha Chamber of Commerce had this to say about us:
“The Tea Smith hires college students, and for most of them, it’s their first taste of significant work experience. That’s why they provide training and educational resources to help these new hires acclimate to a professional work environment. They also have a tea-wiki which all ‘Smithies’ contribute to as a part of their training.
“When the pandemic hit, customers were restricted from coming into the shop. So, the Smithies developed a fun Bubble Tea DIY Kit that allowed patrons to make this popular sweet treat in the comfort and safety of their own home.”
We are honored to be included among so many worthy winners and nominees. Check out all the 2021 Business Excellence Award Winners.
