Bombilla & Gourd Inc. is a tea company based
in
Englewood,
NJ and packages its product in a planet in
New Kensington,
Pennsylvania
(outside of Pittsburgh). Bombilla Gourd was founded in 2006 by
Ariel Nelson, Thomas Wollmann and Noah Krinick. Bombilla Gourd
debuted with one product called Maté Tea™ in three flavors: a
yerba mate-based
tea focused around polyphenol (antioxidant), energy, and vitamin
and mineral benefits. All of their products are certified kosher
and USDA organic. Bombilla & Gourd Inc. is a privately held,
rather than a publicly-traded company. Their logo and label were
created by Dalia Cohen. The layout and back panels of the label
were created by Mike DePalma, as were the sell materials.
Bombilla Gourd Trivia
Thomas Wollmann and Noah Krinick worked
together before Bombilla Gourd in investment banking. Ariel Nelson
and Noah Krinick grew up together in Englewood, NJ. The origin of
their idea to create a tea company based around subtropical plant
yerba mate remains a mystery to this day. The group has stated on
numerous occasions that they will begin to divulge the details of
the origin of their idea on youtube.com segments beginning early in
2007.
It is rumored that Wollmann drank between 20 and 40 cups
of green tea in college per day as a cleansing ritual, which he has
argued on numerous occasion allowed him to phenomenal grades in
college, but cost him sleep. Many agree that Ariel Nelson's
personality matches almost exactly Ari Gold from HBO-series
Entourage. Noah Krinick is the only one who has not been accused
of, on any occasion with a retailer, distributor, or supplier,
being "totally out of his mind."
