Tenzotea Founders Steve and Rob - The Rise of a Green Tea Empire

In this episode, I chat with Steve and Robbie who are in their early 20's building a green tea empire called Tenzotea. They source the highest quality grade green tea and matcha from Japan to sell in the US. Now they are featured in over 120 locations and cafes and have established themselves as a popular drink in cafes across Southern California. With nothing but a vision to start a successful business and follow his heart, Steve left college studying at UCLA and with his friend Robbie woke up at 5:30AM and worked late into the night on their business everyday for a year. It seemed like nothing was happening even though they were putting in the work and no cafes seemed to want their drink. Until one day, after around a year of working they finally landed a deal with one of the major cafes in the area and from there on they expanded to other cafes. Now many popular cafes feature the Tenzotea drinks in their area.  Steve and Robbie plan to expand their business further and help the world by providing the healthy benefits that green tea can provide. Unlike soda and other unhealthy drinks, green tea matcha has many antioxidants and health benefits that lead to healthier living and is also a delicious choice for a drink. Listen to the advice, wisdom, and experience of Steve and Robbie on their journey to building a successful business in their early 20's and I hope their story encourages you on your own path in life.
