Today we’d like to introduce you to John Yang, Jun Lin and Jenny Huang.
John, Jun and Jenny, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
We knew Houston had a large population of tea lovers that was continuously growing. There were a lot of tea shops in Houston, but they were all similar in one way or another. We wanted to open a tea shop where we could stand out from the others by providing quality products and a unique environment for the customers. YumCha really would not have been possible without our unique background and love for tea. The three of us went to China and studied at a famous tea shop for two months. We also visited many different shops and plantations exploring different options. We want to expand the tea culture in Texas and bring it to the next level, where tea lovers can enjoy drinks while creating long lasting memories and friendships.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
There are always obstacles in running a business, especially when you operate a tea shop in Chinatown because of the competitiveness in the area. Since we are an independent brand tea shop, we always strive to learn the latest market trend and our customers’ demand to seek ways to improve. Our main ingredients are carefully selected from premium suppliers overseas, which can be a hustle when it comes to inventory control. However, we are confident that the time and effort we put into everything will positively reflect our final product.
Please tell us about your business.
We pride ourselves on using handpicked tea from a premium tea plantation in China. YumCha translates into yummy tea while ‘Yum’ also means ‘drink’ in Cantonese. We strive to improve and provide a better experience for the customer. We carefully simplify our menu for the highest quality of tasting, which allows our customers to select their drinks easily. Our independent brand will enable us to handcraft the unique quality and taste everyone can enjoy. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority. If our customers are not completely satisfied with our drinks, we are more than happy to remake the drinks until we see a smile on their face. We welcome our customers with spacious interiors and modern designs. It is not only a wonderful place to hang out with friends and family but also a perfect place to study and work.
