Biscottea

Biscottea is a specialty baked goods company founded in 2007 and based in Seattle, Washington, focused on the creation, production, and marketing of innovative shortbread cookies and biscuits. The company was established by a group of food professionals with deep roots in commercial bakery manufacturing, combining traditional Scottish shortbread techniques with modern flavors and clean ingredients to meet growing consumer demand for premium, artisan-style cookies.

The flagship product line, Biscottea Shortbread Cookies, is crafted with simple, natural ingredients and no artificial additives. A defining characteristic of the brand is its infusion of real tea, real coffee, and all-natural flavorings into its shortbread recipes, creating distinctive flavor profiles designed to pair with beverages or stand alone as a sophisticated snack. Product categories include tea-infused, coffee-infused, fruit-infused, and savory shortbread varieties, with ongoing development of new flavors across each segment.

Biscottea targets a broad consumer base, positioning its products as family-friendly snacks suitable for all ages and occasions while simultaneously appealing to discerning, sophisticated palates. The brand has achieved notable retail distribution, having been carried by major national and international retailers and foodservice accounts including Costco, Caribou Coffee, Home Goods, and World Market, as well as several major commercial airlines. Products have been sold in multiple countries, reflecting a global distribution footprint.

The company was founded by Managing Partner Derek Still, who brings a background rooted in both the financial and operational sides of commercial bakery manufacturing since the early 1990s. His culinary inspiration traces back to traditional home baking influences from New Orleans, which inform the brand's emphasis on old-fashioned baking methods executed with a contemporary twist.

Biscottea differentiates itself through its commitment to clean-label formulation, unique flavor innovation, and a baking philosophy that marries heritage techniques with modern consumer preferences. The company continues to expand its product portfolio and build on its established retail and foodservice relationships.
