I Ran A Boba Tea Shop For A Day

Here is a bit of a different kind of video, the start of a new series (I hope) - where we trained as boba-ristas and then ran a boba shop for a day! We collaborated with Kung Fu Tea in Charlottesville, VA to learn how their shop operates behind the scenes, then designed a custom drink menu, and made and served people some of our curated boba selections! I’ve been a boba fan for many years, but this was my first time taking a stab at making bubble tea on my own — and though I’m not sure I have a future in the bubble tea-making profession, it was a lot of fun! What did you guys think of our drinks??
Also, this video was filmed in early October, before the spread of Omicron & I believe UVA has a vaccine requirement for their students. We made sure to comply with all mask requirements and there was a lot of hand washing throughout the day! Stay safe everyone!!
This video is NOT sponsored, but thanks to Kung Fu Tea & Megan for letting us film at your store!

HELLO FRIENDS!! Here is a bit of a different kind of video, the start of a new series (I hope) - where we trained as boba-ristas and then ran a boba shop for a day! What did you guys think of our custom drinks?? A big thank you to Megan & Kung Fu Tea Charlottesville for letting us take over!! Also, this video was filmed in early October, before the spread of Omicron -- and I believe UVA has a vaccine requirement for their students. We made sure to comply with all mask requirements and there was a lot of hand washing throughout the day! Stay safe everyone!! Also also -- captions are coming soon, should be up within 24 hours!! xoxo, Saf

Dear Kungfu Tea franchise owners, PLEASE give Megan a raise coz really this was genius marketing! If i lived there, i would be visiting the store not only for Safiya but also for my unhealthy love for boba 😂
-
Megan is going to go far in life: excellent trainer and a brilliant marketing ploy to save the business she works for? Megan for president.
-
i love that she sometimes forgets how famous she is. she has almost 10 million subs but she was worried no one would come lol
-
“And conveniently on the way to Colonial Williamsburg” Megan is a genius. That is how you convince Saf to do anything just be near Colonial Williamsburg😂 love you Saf
-
Everyone's all [rightfully] "Way to go Megan!" but can we also thank some of the unnamed employees in the video? I can't imagine what all they had to do; even with Safiya and Tyler moving things along, having such a massive increase in customers must have been super challenging, and they're all handling it like pros!
-
How can we get Megan a raise? This was the best marketing strategy I’ve seen in a while
-
If you wanna order the drinks post-event, here’s what the drinks are normally called! Bat to the Bone: Sesame oolong milk tea with pudding Franken Matcha: Sesame matcha (milk strike) with bubbles and milk cap (you might not get matcha powder on top) Cheese Themepark: Oolong Tea Wow Milk Cap Chai on Haul: Chai Milk (Milk Strike) with bubbles Bean There Worn That: Matcha Red Bean Slush Ore-yo Subscribed: Oreo Wow (Milk Strike) Berry me in Boba: Rosehip Lemonade (Punch) with bubbles and lychee crystal bubbles Longan for the 90s: (Classic) Honey Green Tea with Mango Jelly

the entire time she described the menu i was waiting for a colonial williamsburg inspired tea
-
Safiya: Has 9.3 million subscribers Also Safiya: worried no one will show up I absolutely love her!!!
-
I hope Megan’s superiors give her a raise or a big bonus. It was really smart of her to reach out to an influencer, which is fun for her but also makes her store more revenue. She’s a great SM who used social media to her advantage! Props!!!
-
I love how humble Safiya is - she came to the rescue of a random boba tea shop, learned to make boba, and shared cool content!
-
I'm kind of curious if they carry a secret menu now, or if people have tried ordering off of Safiya's list since then.
-
Whatever Megan is making isn’t enough. She deserves a raise.
-
I love how Megan included "conveniently on the way to Colonial Williamsburg!" in her email, she knew how to get your attention
-
Saf at 26:38 "what can I say? Apparently UVA goes hard" As a 2018 alumni, that made me laugh so hard, can confirm we do go hard at everything lol
-
Safiya's vids somehow feel super educational, even when it deals with the most obscure subject matter. 😂
-
I really wish that more popular influencers support small businesses like this. I’m sure that Safiya making this video really helped this boba shop.
-
legend has it, megan is still buried in lactaid
-
Never again will I complain about the price of boba, so much work goes into this. I'm impressed!
