Project snapshot
Grand Tea and Imports aims to introduce a new product line of tea bags for several of our teas, simplifying the brewing process of traditional Chinese teas while maintaining quality. By making Chinese tea traditions more accessible, we hope to attract new enthusiasts and expand our retail and wholesale markets. Additionally, we seek to address logistical challenges in hosting tea events by offering a more portable solution. Community engagement will involve collaborations with local artists, small business incubators, and community groups, providing employment opportunities for seniors and donating tea bags to community initiatives. This project requires upfront investment but promises long-term sustainability through revenue generation. We aim to promote Chinese tea appreciation, community collaboration, and senior employment in Chinatown.
