First thing first: it's pronounced Tche, like splash. Founded in 2020, after years of taste tests and waitlists, Tche is the first and only pure pistachio milk on the market. Made without fillers or oils, and with a 75% smaller water footprint than almonds, Tche is for discerning individuals looking to transform have-to compromises into must-have essentials. Since its debut, Tche has taken coffee shops, dairy aisles, and social media by storm. Initially prioritizing DTC channels to reach consumers as quickly and seamlessly as possible, the brand amplified that strategy by targeting third-wave independent coffee shops, before most recently hitting their first full year of retail distribution in summer 2024. Boasting an astounding 3500% growth thanks to a big debut at Target stores nationwide, Tche is now "that viral pistachio milk" with millions of views on TikTok daily thanks to more consumers wanting a healthier, more sustainable plant-based milk. We're a small team of beverage enthusiasts, ingredient connoisseurs, and flavor mavens. We pride ourselves on our dedication to excellence, care for each other and our community, innovative spirits, and strong morals. Our values serve as the guardrails of our company: • Care - We care deeply for our people, our products, our company, our planet, and our community. "Checking the box" becomes obsolete when we nurture, protect, and cherish the work that we do thoughtfully. We value showing kindness to our teammates as well as being kind to oneself., • Excellence - We set very high standards for ourselves, each other, and the work that we do. It is our high level of excellence across collaboration, resourcefulness, and follow-through that we are able to make the world a Tche better., • Innovation - Bold thinking leads to bold ideas. We are not only building a new category, but an entirely new way of thinking about pistachios, alt-milk, and more. As the first pistachio milk in North America, it's central is our brand's ethos that we continue to lead in food and beverage innovation., • Integrity - Consistent and uncompromising, we value the integrity of principles, health, product, and brand. We know as both individuals and as a team, integrity is part of the fabric that binds us and is a layer in everything we do., • Pistachios - With an unparalleled heritage and history dating back to 7000 BC, pistachios are at the heart of everything we make. Pistachios are a centerpiece of the Middle Eastern home and we embrace their cultural significance. Known as "the smiling nut," these healthy nuts have now started to emerge in the US in a new and exciting way.
