407 – A Brave and Unconventional Path To An Award Winning Tea Company With Jenny Tse

The way Jenny got into her business is fascinating … not a traditional path by any means. As you listen to her story, notice how she encounters decision points along the way and leaps into the opportunities that present themselves. Scary? Yes, by her own admission. But also, exciting and with each win, she gains more and more confidence in herself. She says she tests herself by entering into situations to “make myself the most uncomfortable possible.” Along the way, she hits cultural obstacles and an identity crisis. She loses her job and travels to a foreign land in pursuit of her dream - all without the support of her family. But that’s of course not where the story ends. You’ll also hear why she quadrupled her prices AND one very opportunistic way she built recognition for herself and her brand. Jenny's unusual journey to success will inspire you and teach you so much about how to build a thriving business! Born in Hong Kong and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, Jenny is the founder and owner of Sipping Streams Tea Company. She’s a certified tea specialist and her expertise shows. Sipping Streams has won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at the North American Tea Championships and 2nd at the Global Tea Championships. Sipping Streams has also been featured in Fresh Cup Magazine, Edible Alaska, and NPR. Jenny is the best-selling author of The Essence of Tea and the host of The Essence of Tea podcast. And that’s not all! This past summer, Sipping Streams Tea Company started an experimental tea farm in Alaska using geothermal heat.
