I Ran A Boba Tea Shop For A Day

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!
