00:04why everyone is drinking Chagi milk tea? Welcome to my channel. In this episode,
00:10we're going to talk about the history of Chagi and how its popularity skyrocketed
00:14after appearing on Shark Tank. The founder has an amazing business story that can inspire
00:19all of us who want to be successful entrepreneurs. So let's dive into it.
00:25The history of Chagi dates back to 2018 when two friends, Javad and James, met at a friend's
00:31wedding in Orange County, California. They were both working in corporate America. Javad was working
00:36for a tech company and James worked in sales. They wanted to do something more with their lives.
00:41At first, they wanted to buy a franchise, but they couldn't find anything that interested them until
00:46they learned about the tea industry. The tea industry was growing rapidly, so they thought
00:51it might be a good opportunity for them to start a new business. They learned that bubble tea was
00:55very popular among young people, and they wanted to create a unique product that would appeal to this
01:00market. That's when they came up with the idea of making milk tea with high-quality ingredients and
01:05a fun twist. They named their company Chagi, which is a combination of the words chai and g,
01:11with g being a slang term for great. They also added an exclamation point to the end of the name
01:16because they felt it represented their excitement about the brand. After creating their delicious
01:21and refreshing milk tea, they needed to figure out how to get it to their customers. They started by
01:26selling their product at local events and farmers markets. This allowed them to test out their
01:31recipes and get feedback from potential customers. They also used social media to promote their brand
01:37and build a following. This helped them to create a community of tea lovers who were excited about their
01:42product. As their customer base grew, they knew they needed to take their business to the next level.
