It’s been five months since we opened our small snackhouse right in front of our house. It used to be our grocery store back in 2013, but it was closed and left unused during the pandemic until I decided to open it just last May. The once old and rotting building was finally renovated and turned into a snackhouse, something that benefits not only my family but also our neighbors who love snacks. Now, they don’t have to go all the way to the town proper just to buy some.
In this short video, I’m introducing our six best-selling milk tea flavors: dark chocolate, cookies and cream, ube, matcha, cheesy mango, and avocado. I used to offer more flavors, but I decided to keep the ones our customers love the most.
(I finally have a Canva pro, so I tried to make this kind of video using it :). This was just a trial.)
For our ingredients, I use the Top Creamery brand because it’s both high-quality and budget-friendly. I once thought about franchising a popular milk tea brand, but then I realized I could just make my own version for a lot less. Plus, it’s easier now since most ingredients are available online.
Our milk teas are also more affordable compared to other shops in town. The profit isn’t huge, just enough to restock supplies and pay a few bills. So I can honestly say this business won’t make me rich, lol. My main goal was really to bring life back to the abandoned building. In the future, if this snackhouse doesn’t work out anymore, we can always try a new business in the same space instead of letting it go to waste again.
What’s your favorite milk tea flavor? Have you tried any of these yet? I know milk tea started in Asia, but it’s nice to see how the trend has spread to other countries, too.
That’s all for today. Have a nice day!
Thanks for your time.
